Re: [GNC] Price Editor Problems
Thank you Eric, I modified the AlphaVantge.pm file as you suggested. That it was a read-only file I had quite a lot of problems saving the modification. For want of a better solution I resorted to use Master Commander, (sudo mc), simply because I don't know how to open a file as Root. What is a better method??? Yes I confirrmed I have an API key. But . . . when setting up the Securities, in the "Get online quotes section, I run into trouble again. My securities are all on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). The only AlphaVantage selection available is AlphaVantage US. I now don't know quite how to set up the Get Online Quotes section. I have tried a few of the many combinations of selections to no avail. Can you help me further please. What other information should I provide?

[GNC] Price Editor Problems
Where, please, can I get wo-to-go instructions to get my stock Price Editor (Re)working?? I am running Ubuntu 18.04. GNC ver 3.5. My stock is all on the ASX (Australia). Things worked wonderfully until the Yahoo demise and then for a while I was able to use Alphvantage but that stopped too. I have tried all sorts of fixes randomly and fear I have completely confused GNC in the process. I would greatly appreciate some step by step assistance.

FYI:- These following comments are for feedback only. And my intrigue of course. I uninstalled the flatpak version via the Software Centre (Ubuntu 18.04) quite easily. Strangely, the Software Centre shows that I have 1:2.6.19-1 installed. Synaptic shows: "Installed Version = 3.4-0-1 | Latest Version 1:2.6.19-1" There is an ! mark in the checkbox and it is greyed out. The Software Updater offers an available update for Gnucash to 1:2.6.19-1 but the checkbox is blanked. Obviously your "Hold" command at work. Much of the discussion in the other emails under this thread-line is beyond my level of understanding. But, perhaps destined to resolve and normalise future presentation and updating process?

I should have nutted out the wrapping issue myself. Grrr. Please let me clarify: 1. The commands work equally for 18.04 and 18.10? 2. I currently have Gnucash 3.2 loaded and working. It is a dl.flathub.org version. Is that an issue? Do I remove it first or does the apt remove take care of that? 3.

Thank you Stephen and Colin, I am going around and around. I am a little confused as to whether the instructions in the above thread apply to 18.04 or 18.10?? Nevertheless, I followed the commands line by line, (Although I note that when it gets to the: "libboost-locale1.65.1 libboost-regex1.65.1" line it say it does not recognise the command.) However, I always land up where I started. I should note here that Synaptic sees the 3.4 version but it's greyed out and there is an ! mark. Here's some additional information which may point to my dilemma:- I have available in my Software Centre 2 versions of Gnucash: 1. ver 1.2.6.19-1. 2. ver Version: 3.2 Build ID: 3.2+ (2018-06-24). I notice that the source is dl.flathub.org. Futhermore, I discover, in my frenzy, that Synaptic does not see this version - even though it is installed? So I guess "flathub" is outside the Ubuntu relm? It seems to work okay, although I have not thoroughly tested it. I discover that I can install each of the above versions and they can run independently. All of that said, I simply want to install the latest version and keep the system and myself happy.

Re: [GNC] Import qif does not remember account allocation.
David C I apologise for the duplicated messages. (I was troubled by the fact that I saw no evidence in the List that my message was properly sent. Even now, I don't seem to be receiving my gnu-cash user copies from the List? Be that as it may, I regret the nuisance value of my emailing dilemma.) Thank you very much for the very helpful comments you provided. I now understand it is imperative to make/correct the account assignment during the wizard process. (As an aside, that the wizard doesn't show the $ amount on the appropriate page, often makes it difficult to recall where the transaction belongs. Just by way of comment.) All of that said, it seems that I should await, or install, version 3.x Thank you again Dave and a Happy New Year to you and this user group. It is an excellent facility.

Ongoing . . . . .
I have now been through 8 monthly iterations of my newer Amex qif
importations. Still no auto account allocation generation as
suggested will eventually occur. (Yet my long-term Mastercard
account .qif downloads continue to import and allocate correctly.)
In my frenetic searching, I find this file: /.gnucash/qif-accounts-map.
It seems to be the memory source of previous transaction. It's a long
file that obviously has followed me over the years. In it I recognise
that, typically, the Mastercard allocations Line Description has
the correct account allocation recorded.
So I searched a recent Amex transaction that has twice previously been
manually corrected from "Unspecified" to it's correct Expense account
yet this is what is recorded inter alia:
("ROMEO S FOODHALL SUTHER SUTHERLAND" "ROMEO S FOODHALL SUTHER
SUTHERLAND" (9 8 0 3 4 2 11 12 5 6) #f "Unspecified" #f #t).
Sorry about the long preamble. ):
*1. Once designated "Unspecified" how/when, and by what means, does the
correct allocation be recorded?
*2. Is there a difference between manual correction while in QIF
Download mode and after Import has been completed?
*3. What do the numerals and #'s mean?
*4. Shall I upload the said qif-accounts-map file for you?
