Re: [GNC] GNUcash is using 538MB
Not sure if this applies to gnucash app, but when I download certain software, I get an option to download standard or debug package. The latter is significantly larger in size. I’m guessing if one is running a debug packaged app, its RAM usage would be high. I haven’t checked if gnucash offers the debug package. If OP is using a debug package, perhaps it’s hogging his RAM.

Re: [GNC] Seeking report
Thank you... that is what I was looking for... I took the standard report, and limited it to the one account I needed, and it had what I needed, and even some other good features. Thanks.

Re: [GNC] New PC
Michael, Sorry my bad on the BSD Unix as the base for Macs OS My NAS does periodic full backups and daily incrementals so the slowly changing stuff doesn't get backed up all that often. My laptop is also synced to my desktop before and after I take it away from home which provides one of the additional backups and again that is only copying changed files between the two.

Re: [GNC] Reports and documentstion are blank on Linux
David,
I have the docs for 4.11 (i just haven't yet downloaded the 4.12 documentation
release) built and installed and I'm currently running 4.12 of the program. When
I request Help or the Guide from the Help Menu in GnuCash , yelp comes up with
the following message "Document not found: The URI ‘help:gnucash-help/index’
does not point to a valid page.".
I will download the 4.12 docs and rebuild them to see if that fixes the problem,
which it did.
The 4.12 installs to "/usr/local/share/help/C/gnucash-guide" and
"/usr/local/share/help/C/gnucash-help" not to the usr/local/share gnome/help "
directory and then yelp successfully finds the uris.
To build the docs I down loaded
from
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases/download/4.12/gnucash-docs-4.12.tar.gz
and extracted the "gnucash-docs-4.12" from the tar.gz file to a directory under
my home directory then opened a terminal in that gnucash-docs-4.12 directory
then used the following commands
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -GNinja -DWITH_MOBI=On ../
ninja
sudo ninja install
After that all is working as expected
AFAIK you can now only configure the build with cmake (and not make) after V 4.7
of the docs.
Both ninja-build and cmake have to be installed to build the docs ("sudo apt
install cmake" then "sudo apt install ninja-build" at the terminal prompton
Linux Mint)

Re: [GNC] Seeking report
Hi Richard Have you looked at the Cash Flow report? It is under the Income & Expense reports menu.

Re: [GNC] New PC
Agree that it would be ideal to have a single user directory but unfortunately the different OS's have different requirements and conventions and they also vary somewhat between various Linux distributions. It would not be too hard to create a Linux bash script that could pack all the files on one computer into a zip with a corresponding unpack on another Linux machine, but Linux to Windows is likely to be more complex with the registry involved and I have no idea how to do it on a mac but as the Mac OS has its origin in Linux it is likely a shell script from Linux could be adapted. A one off is no problem, but maintaining it as the various OS's change their requirements creates an ongoing task. I avoid it totally as I keep complete backups of my home directory on an NAS, another laptop and an online storage as well as periodically an offsite USB .

[GNC] Seeking report
I find the reports the hardest part of GnuCash to understand, so I'm seeking help here... I'm willing to read good, clear documentation, but someone may be able to point me in the right direction. What I'm looking for is a report on a single account with the debits and credits totalled separately for a time period (like the present year). As a concrete example, suppose I have a savings account that gets a weekly credit to pay for auto repair... throughout the year, I debit this account as various car expenses occur... at the end of the year, I'd like to see how much I've put in and how much I've spent. The "Transaction" report is nearly right, except that it doesn't sum the debits & credits... it just provides the net debit or credit, depending which is greater. -- _ Richard Losey rlo...@gmail.com Micah 6:8 ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Reports and documentstion are blank on Linux
My docs are also blank; I was told that they were installed to a different place than where they were expected to be... but I don't think anyone told me... I was hoping to create a symbolic link for the correct path. It would be nice to get it working with docs on my Linux box, but I use online when I need it. I didn't use flatpack... when I did a fresh install, it used 4.08, which is pretty close, I think.

To give an example from another (unrelated) application: Take the browser FireFox. In THIS case(in Windows) all will be within a directory named Mozilla in the appdata directory. So if you were moving to a new computer you could just replace that directory in the new computer (created when you installed/opened first time FireFox) with the one form your old computer. Or for your back-ups, that is the directory you want to copy. So .. Is there one directory (or a small set of directories) that contain all that is needed for gnucash? And nothing else. THAT is the "view" wanted for both back-up and moving to another computer. And if there is not a small subset, if they are "scattered", then that perhaps should be fixed.

Re: [GNC] Reports and documentstion are blank on Linux
Daved The documentation has to be downloaded and installed separately on Linux. It is not packaged with the program in most cases. https://www.gnucash.org/docs.phtml. I think running nin Even when installed yelp does not seem to find the location from within the GnuCash program. It appears to be looking for a HTML index file and not the xml format that yelp uses by default. In a normal install of the documnetation it is installed to "/usr/local/share/gnome/help/gnucash-guide" and "/usr/local/share/gnome/help/gnucash-help". If I start yelp in a terminal and point it to these location the guide and help manual open in yelp, but not when yelp is opened from within GnuCash itself (GnuCash 4.12 on Linux Mint 22). It is likely that an environment variable has not been correctly setup . I avoid this totally by accessing the online html versions of the help manual and the guide from https://lists.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-help/help.html and https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-guide/index.html in a browser when I need to.

Re: [GNC] Debug information to sort out Finance::Quote issue on macOS Ventura
Vince, Dtruss probably tells you a lot of stuff you don't need and not much that you do. Did you try `gnucash --log gnc.scm=debug --logto=stderr`? Yes, GnuCash 5 will continue to use F::Q. Geert and I rewrote the original Scheme bridge in C++ and greatly improved the error capture and reporting in the process. We're still using the legacy methods so I guess some more work is in order. In order for GnuCash to support passing api keys as source module parameters we need a Quote.pm function to enumerate the source modules that need an API key. The alternative of hard-coding the modules in GnuCash is too brittle because the module names sometimes change. That brittleness is evident in the Security Editor where we still list a bunch of modules that no longer exist and there are a bunch of new modules at the bottom. Regards, John Ralls > On 16.

Re: [GNC] per diem expenses
I think when I received per diem, I just recorded it as non-taxable income, and paid for the food as expenses.

Re: [GNC] Trouble downloading OFX from Canadian Tire Bank
I recently helped somebody with an ofx file missing the and tags. Both are required for gnuCash to remember how to match the ofx to an account in your books. It remembers the first time then uses and to redo the match on following imports. Although in that case I think the import process would simply abort, I don't think it crashed. If you don't see these tags, you can put whatever you want for both tags as long as it is unique to files for that account in your books Here is the sanitized example ofx file that was used when we discussed that issue. The ACCTID and TYPE are part of the group which could also be missing. In testing in that case it was discovered that the tag that is in the same group wasn't really needed (but it won't hurt if it's there of course). If your file does in fact have a correct BANKACCTFROM section and tags, then you might need to compare what other differences exist and experiment to see if they are the source of the problem.

[GNC] Trouble downloading OFX from Canadian Tire Bank
I just downloaded the monthly credit card statement as “Microsoft money” format which gave me a file with suffix ofx and header content that appears to be OFX. Importing it causes a prompt and consistent crash. I tried trimming out all transactions but one and it still crashes. I’m assuming there is something in the header causing the problem. I tried switching to Quicken and got a qfx file with the identical header which I find suspicious. Attempting to open it was as fruitful as before. I don’t know whether it’s Gnucash or the file. If the file I could likely write a preprocessor to fix it. Is there documentation somewhere as to what is expected in the file?

If you're trying to use iexcloud in GnuCash and you have an Intel mac then the problem is most likely that iexcloud key. GnuCash doesn't read the environment set in the shell's .*profile so you'll have to add it as an environment variable to the environment file, see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#File_environment.local. There's another problem with newer F::Q modules requiring an api key: Many of them don't have an associated environment variable and expect the api_key to be passed as a parameter and Finance::Quote doesn't expose any way to discover whether a module requires a key making it rather difficult for GnuCash to support them.

It is possible that NOT counted as income. If that seems strange, consider that the employee or contractor is being forced to eat out (more expensive) rather than eat at home, bring meals from home, etc. The fact that the "employer" is JUST doing food by "per diem" and not also for lodging suggests to me that it is the "self employed/independent contractor" rules being followed << again taking into account that this is NOT "my line of country", employees allowed to get per diem for housing but not self employed, for whom that would be income >> There are expense reporting requirements (to the "employer") but again I think different whether receipts need to be turned in depends on "employee" vs "contractor" (in other words how reported might be different) Check with an accountant who knows about THIS specialized aspect of the tax codes. NOW --- the question of "accounting for in gnucash if it turns out NOT counting as income and expense. Might want to split off as a separate income category and expense category so can see totals both without and including.

[GNC] Debug information to sort out Finance::Quote issue on macOS Ventura
Hi,
I upgraded to macOS Ventura and am having trouble getting Finance::Quote to
work.
gnc-fq-dump is working in the terminal (see shell output below), but in GnuCash
I get the error “There was a system error while retrieving the price quotes.”
Is there some way to get debugging output from the GnuCash app so I can see
what call is being made and what error is occurring?
Thanks,
Vince
