[GNC] GnuCash 5.1-2 for macOS
There's a gtk3 regression in Gnucash-5.1-1. Nobody's reported hitting it yet, but it's there: I left a patch out when I updated gtk3 to 3.34.37 just before the 5.1 release. I've re-packaged with a correctly-patched library. This also has a patch to fix https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798906 for those users with a dual-monitor setup where one monitor is Retina and the other isn't. 65a67bdffbe2d50e5dbe69b7193acfde6d8964a0fbd631edfd0d064fbaea03d3 Gnucash-Intel-5.1-2.dmg https://downloads.sourceforge.net/gnucash/gnucash%20%28stable%29/5.1/Gnucash-Intel-5.1-2.dmg https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases/download/5.1/Gnucash-Intel-5.1-2.dmg Regards, John Ralls ___ 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] How to upgrade to 5.1 in Ubuntu
Thanks, I have some experience with flatpak, albeit some of of it negative. I suppose I should uninstall my apt installed version 4.8 first first then, correct?

Re: [GNC] Auto commit with auto save?
One of the remarkably slick features of Microsoft Money was that it kept track of the last date on which it downloaded a day's adjusted close, and worked forward from that to the present whenever there was a gap. -Original Message- From: gnucash-user On Behalf Of David T. via gnucash-user Sent: Monday, May 8, 2023 3:00 PM To: David G. Pickett Cc: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject: Re: [GNC] Auto commit with auto save? Yes, one can imagine that. I can imagine that it would be possible to add something like that into the get quotes function that already exists, but I'm not a programmer, so I accept that if I want to track commodity values in GnuCash, I have to click the get quotes button. The get quotes button is as close to a listening socket as I'll get. I'm curious-- does auto save complete its process if a transaction is open? I'd imagine that it doesn't. You might want to check on that. It would be a drag to discover after the fact that a series of edits were lost because auto save didn't complete-- especially if you're going to keep using an external cron job script that relies on an unrelated function (auto save) to preserve your financial data.
