Jeff,

If you do a find from the accounts tab it will search in all splits, 
if however you do a find in a Register tab it only looks at splits for 
that particular Register, it doesn't search in splits belonging to 
other Register's.  Are you falling into this trap ?


Thanks David. Interesting,

If I do the find from the Accounts tab it does find the transaction. But 
I have been searching in the bank register where the transaction I'm 
looking for resides. It doesn't find the transaction that is in the bank 
register searched from that specific bank register where the transaction 
I'm looking for resides.

FWIW I've been, happily, using GNUCash for several years.

I'm working on my 2022 taxes importing .OFX files from my banks. I
generally want to add a memo on most transactions with notes found
from
the vendor transaction details on their respective sites. Since this
adding memos isn't currently possible during the import I move
transaction to a temporary 'unaccounterd for 2022' register where
I add
notes in the memo field, categorize the transaction and save.

Occasionally I want to verify that I entered the correct notes in the
Memo field. I do a find with 'contains' searching in the
'description,
notes or memo' This find operation doesn't appear to be finding
transactions I've entered today although if I search visually through
the register they have been entered. I did upgrade to 4.13 from some
4.xx version before I started working on this .OFX import. I haven't
used Find for some time but if my memory is correct I've used find
similarly in the past successfully.

I tried to find some kind of re-indexing function. Does such an
option
exist?

I did try exiting and restarting GNUCash and repeating the find
with the
same results, not finding transaction with memos entered today.

Which version did you try at last?

I believe I tried it again with Win 10, GNUCash 4.2 I had some trouble 
with the workaround so decided to just wait until I saw some release 
notes that it was fixed...

I'm referring to this problem which John Ralls commented on awhile back;

Thanks. Perhaps I'll give CSV import a try again. I wonder if those

Hi Chris,

Thank you for the feedback. I'll just keep downloading the .OFX manually
for now. 2020-12-27 looks far away now, but it will probably be here
when I blink - not that it will be a guaranteed fix...

Again, thanks for the input.

Everything below https://code.gnucash.org/builds is related to nightly
builds. In contrast to the stable releases at sourceforge, they are test
versions — save your data and setting before using them!

The nightlies come in 2 flavours:
* win32 for Windows and
* flatpak for Linux.

The next level is the branch:
Most important — at least now — is Maint, the bugfix branch which will
lead to Gnucash 4.3.
Master is the feature branch wich will lead to GnuCash 5.0

Then there can be special branches which should be explained by their
creators.

Finally there are the build logs to help us, the devs,  to determinate,
why a build failed.

Depending on your OS you should usually just select the most recent
build from the sent links.

Actually I'm not seeing any 'nightly' tree. url in Frank's message was 
'maint' which sounds better than 'nightly' to me as I want to use it on 
a copy of my live data. Are maint releases stable / supported?


I read this page 
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Release_Process#Update_Release_Version 
which had one (1) reference to 'nightly' and thirty two with the string 
'maint' I also looked at 'tags' on github and didn't see 'nightly' 
That's the extent of my attempt to answer my own question / RTFMing.

Re: [GNC] Help with AqBanking Wizzard after accounts list retrieval

This is a bug, we think in AQBanking. I've documented the work-around and what 
to do if it fails on https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Setting_up_OFXDirectConnect.

Thank you John,

Love that media wiki show history, wasn't sure if I missed that or you 
just created it. :-) Kinda wish I could put images inline on this 
Gnucash-Users list.


I'm on Windows 10. Much progress but not successful yet.

I've attached three images.

GC Unable to update account spec...
    I got this when I initially created the accounts per your "Manual 
AQBanking Account Creation" wiki instructions. The accounts seem to have 
been properly created from what I can see. I went through the process 
three times for three accounts. Double checked them a couple times. I 
did use an alphanumeric account number as are my accounts. Replacing my 
dummy account numbers with actual numbers -  I should say strings...


GC Accounts with new checked
    Near the end before I hit apply this image showed the check boxes 
checked only when I manually widened the window, that caused be some 
concern as I didn't know what they meant. Subsequent reRuns of the 
wizard didn't have these checked, I'm assuming they meant new 
associations - my fear was that they would make new accounts and wipe 
out my existing decades of data... Maybe an additional note on the wiki...??


GC Error on executing job...
    I got this on two of three accounts while trying the action->get 
transactions. FWIW I didn't get this error on the first account in the 
logs, a savings account, I got a message reporting that there were no 
transactions to download. I experimented with attempting to download 
transactions on the other accounts several times, closing GC between 
tries, and which account I tried first. It always seemed to work on the 
Savings account but no transactions downloaded. I went to the web 
interface and transferred some funds from one online account to that 
savings account which was reflected in the online balances. I ran the GC 
Action again on the savings account. It again reported success but no 
transactions, no new transaction were downloaded.


There is an Actions->OnLine actions -> show log check box that I don't 
seem to be able to check. There were intriguing lines of debug info in 
the window but it closes immediately after attempting the OFX direct 
action. No opportunity to read the log.


I'll continue to work with you gladly, if it will benefit the community, 
otherwise I guess I'll just keep downloading the .OFX from the web site 
and watch the list for news of a fix.Is this bug fairly widespread? Just 
on windows? or Just on certain banks?


Is there a bug tracker bug I can subscribe to for this?


Thanks, - Jeff

Re: [GNC] Help with AqBanking Wizzard after accounts list retrieval

2020-08-07 Thread Jeff Albrecht


Additional question / observation while debugging;

I should have mentioned I'm using Windows 10.

From the docs I see; 'In the OFX tab of the User Configuration, Click 
the "Supports Account List Downloads" check box, and Click the "Get 
Accounts" button' I am not finding a configuration button / tab/ radio 
button ... for; "Supports Account List Downloads"


I've attached the help->About for version information. I assume 
AqBanking is linked during the build. I don't know how to display 
version info for AqBanking.

Re: [GNC] OFX Import matcher user input memo / description enhancement

2020-08-05 Thread Jeff Albrecht


Hi Jean,

In my workflow it's not a drawback for me as I don't want matches 
recorded, at least as we probably all do, I use Ebay and Amazon a lot. 
And I end up buying things destined for a diverse set of accounts 
(classifications) that can't be determined by the matcher. Perhaps five 
to ten different accounts from a vendor that sells a wide range of 
stuff. Unlike say Albertsons, Kroger etc will always be a single 
account; groceries.


I put them in the UnAccountedFor2020 specifically so I can easily add 
the memo text. That way it's a bit easier to find transactions I want to 
add memos too, rather than searching around the register for the 
imported transactions I want to add the memo too..


   ++ "I too would love to be able to add a note to the imported info
   *in* the matching dialog, rather than having to go to the register
   after the import to add notes... "

I wonder how many folks enter additional text to transactions? Maybe 
easier to ask who doesn't?


c ya...  - Jeff

One drawback of your workflow is that GC does not learn how to better 
match incoming OFX transactions to your accounts, because you're doing 
that outside of the import matcher...
I guess you move them to UnAccountedFor2020 so you can go back to them 
at a later time, and take your time importing them to the right 
account...

Devs and users,

the item was in my GNUCash check register.


_My Current Workflow_
Ignore monthly reminders to import .OFX
Do six to twelve months at a time
Download the .OFX from my bank
Import the .OFX
Match obvious like Netflix, utilities, grocers etc... that don't need 
a memo.
Move the remaining unmatched transactions into a temporary register, 
for instance 'UnAcountedFor2020' where I can add some arbitrary text 
to a memo or description field.
Then lookup transactions on the vendor websites and try to jog my 
memory what a a transaction was actually for. This may be handy for 
reordering, or explaining to my Accountant. For instance in the 
following image replacement nozzles for my pressure washer, this text 
string was copied from the vendor, Amazon, orders list item 
description. Copy and Paste.




Next I highlight the UnAccountedFor2020 and utilize the 4.x partial 
pattern matcher which again, is so COOL, such a time saver. (Maybe 
have a short list at the top of the picker of the last ten accounts 
selected? This would leave my hand on the mouse for many of the 
transactions)

I continue this until the UnAccountedFor2020 register is empty.
I've noticed that the yellow line which has the 'UnAccountedFor2020' 
is always blank in the memo/description. I put my desired text there.


_Enhancement_

If during the .OFX import matching some input box that I could enter 
my memo/description text would appear as I pick the proper matching 
account. Again that yellow line that has the desired target account 
is always blank in the memo/description and may be the likely 
candidate for the text target. If I could ad that user inputted text 
during the import transaction matching I wouldn't need to move 
desired transactions for memo/description into a temporary register 
as I do in my current work flow.

[GNC] Bravo! 4.x type-ahead search enhancement

2020-08-04 Thread Jeff Albrecht


Thank you GNU developers!

This feature is saving me so much time in my workflow.

"New type-ahead search added to sequential search when selecting an 
account in the register: Instead of typing the first few characters of a 
top level account, the separator, the first few characters of the next 
level account and so on you may instead type a few characters of any 
part of a full account name and the drop-list will be filtered to 
contain only matching accounts. Once you have a small enough list you 
can use the arrow keys to select the account that you want."


Thanks again! - Jeff

[GNC] Non appearing, appearing - disappearing memo detail

2020-01-01 Thread Jeff Albrecht via gnucash-user


Windows 10
GNUCash 3.7

I started in on my year end taxes a couple days ago. I will get them 
filed and paid on time this year.


I import .OFX transaction and be sure the distributions are correct. I 
also paste in details of purchases typically from Amazon and Ebay. This 
specific incident is from Amazon. It's not an isolated incident but at 
the moment I can't specifically say it happens in other transaction 
vendors than Amazon.


After the initial entry, I put GNUCash aside and double check a couple 
days later. I see a transaction categorized correctly but it looks like 
I haven't pasted in purchase details. I place my cursor in the seemingly 
blank line to enter some detail and (abracadabra) the detail I entered a 
couple days ago appears - no I don't believe it's auto complete as I 
click the enter command and as I move my cursor out of that transaction 
it disappears again and no comment from GNUCash to save changes. 
Generally I cut and paste the detail info (not available in the .OFX 
transaction) from a .CSV import to a spread sheet that makes it easy to 
search for amounts and to copy/paste the detail. I can click back and 
forth between the line with odd behavior and a line in another 
transaction and have the consistent behavior of appearing when clicking 
on the line and disappearing when clicking outside of that lines 
transaction. Just for grins I prepended a ' ' space at the beginning of 
the line trying to rule out invisible specharacters, recorded the 
transaction, clicked out of the transaction and experience the same 
disappearing behavior. In this same register I can see many of the 
transactions that I've entered additional memo, non .OFX content, 
information displaying as I would like - not disappearing...


This is the string; "Creality 3D Upgraded BLTouch V1 Auto Bed Leveling 
Sensor Kit Accessories for Creality 3D Ender 3/ Ender 3 Pro/Ender 5/CR 
-10/CR-10S/CR-10S4/S5/CR20/20Pro" Could the GNUCash enter or display 
routing or associated library used be interpreting '/CR' as a CRLF or 
??? exhibiting this strange behavior?



As I say this was not an isolated incident. It's happened a few time 
over my couple years use of GNUCash. Maybe happening more often as once 
I'm clicking 'enter' I'm not looking at the transaction.

Working on it since 2013 and it's still experimental? :-) I'd sure like

[GNC] Unique entry date and transaction date availability?

2019-05-01 Thread Jeff Albrecht

I had quicken for a decade or more. Several accountant / bookkeepers 
worked on it with me.


I've found a transaction, now imported into GNUCash, that I feel may 
have been entered less than optimally. It's dated 4/9/2015 however I 
suspect it was entered at some other time when someone made an adjusting 
entry. They didn't document the transaction very much. I'm curious when 
the transaction was created vs the date it represents.


Is there a transaction creation date available and if so how may I 
display it.

[GNC] Account remains red after void that would put it in black

2019-05-01 Thread Jeff Albrecht

Is this a know bug? and/or could someone forward it to gnucash-devel if 
appropriate?


Windows 10 GNUCash version Version: 3.5 Build ID: 3.5+(2019-03-30)

I'm balancing a checking account. It has a positive amount for Present 
and Future in black. I don't specifically remember the Balance column.
I enter an adjusting entry that puts the account in negative and the 
Present and Future change to reflect that and change to parenthesis and red.
Doh! I entered that wrong so I void the transaction. (IMHO deleting a 
transaction should never be allowed. It voids the audit trail.)
After voiding the transaction the account is now positive however the 
color is still red.
I close and reopen the account, the Present and Future are now black as 
I would expect. It was a real head scratcher for a while as I just saw 
red (PUN intended) before realizing that the amount was displayed wrong, 
red instead of black.


FWIW I've had this happen several times in the last couple days of 
marathon balancing after Quicken Conversion last year. I couldn't put a 
finger on when it happens but It just occurred again so I wrote down the 
steps that I just completed. This behavior _may_ appear any time an 
account goes from red negative to black positive.

Re: [GNC] 8.1 Find (^F) set default search preferences?

2019-05-01 Thread Jeff Albrecht

The major pain, for me at least, is not so much the ^F but the constant 
changing of the 'Find Transaction' options from 'Description' to 'Value' 
It's the only way I've used ^F so far - Value and has credits or debits 
-> equal to. I can see that flexibility of 'Find Transaction' will be 
very useful at some time. In my current marathon accounting balancing 
sessions (Still converting from Quicken*) I'm sure I've entered ^F 
nearly a hundred times or more.


How about something like some combinations of these;
- A Boolean check box to save the options on close in the "Find 
Transaction' window.

 -- Perhaps another check box for windows to remain open.
- A preference to save the last used options in the 'Find Transaction' 
window.
- An additional 'quick find' initiated by ^F that uses the value->has 
credits or debits->equal to and move the full find to menu initiated only.




* ProTip; Don't procrastinate more than three months to import new .OFX 
transactions as many institutions only save three months available online.

Remember, GnuCash has to accommodate many screen sizes, not just people with 
1080 and larger WXGA displays that have the room to keep a Find dialog open 
next to the main window. Some people are using this app on netbooks.

But if it is simple enough to implement, I could see that it would be a nice 
option. (and I have plenty of screen space, so I’d be happy to have it as well)

I don’t know of a way to save search criteria, however, when you do a Find, you

In my experimenting I've been closing all of the results tabs (which are

will come up with 'New search' radio button if initiated from accounts 
tab. It comes up in 'Refine current search' if initiated from any other 
tab even with no results tabs open. Just my observations here.


What's odd is that the 'Find Transaction' windows is not remaining open. 
I could say remaining open anymore as several days ago, when I started 
this thread, It was staying open as I remember at the time thinking it 
was annoying and closing it with a click on the window's x close or the 
button close.


Now I can't get it to stay open. I engage the search with a click of the 
'Find' button. I've minimized my screens thinking it might be hiding. 
And tried closing GNUCash and reopening several times.


I dunno, it's kinda of weird, certainly not the end of the world...

 - Jeff



If you do a subsequent find, you’ll effectively be narrowing the search 
results. (because you’re running the find from the results tab, the new find 
window is using that as the data set)

So if you need to repeatedly start from a particular criteria, run that `find` 
operation once to get the intial data set, then from that tab, run find again 
as you like to narrow down the search.

Just don’t close the initial search result, and always run your next `find` 
from that tab if that is the data set you want to narrow down. (or just keep 
running `find` from the next results tab to keep narrowing down further.)

Adrien

Re: [GNC] OFX Import add Memo to transaction

2019-04-26 Thread Jeff Albrecht

Groovy, boss and kean -or- OMG, snap and Shredding. Plus red face and a 
little embarrassment. But I didn't realize and it never occurred to me 
that my vendors / sellers had report exports!

Amazon has CSV export as well as a much more useful on screen report 
than looking through the online 'your orders' section. Which doesn't 
have a total of all items and shipping.

eBay doesn't have a purchase export, and their 'MyEbay->Purchase 
history' has an order total, but it doesn't reflect shipping charges! It 
makes it difficult to simply ^F search on a bank transaction amount to 
find the matching seller transaction.

PayPal has a transaction export. In fact you can export .QIF from 
PayPal. Dare I try an import from my primary PayPal bank and Paypal. 
This report does have Transaction total including the shipping.

I'll have to experiment with that in the GNUCash 'Generic import 
transaction matcher' after I accrue some new transactions.

With these reports quit a bit of frustration and time sink will be 
removed from my GNUCash import work flow!

Some icing on this workflow would be a simple filter input box at the 
top of the COA account selector in the 'Generic import transaction 
matcher' such that I can filter all those accounts to those that contain 
a string say gas, fuel, netflix, dining, clothing etc... It sure would 
make the matching account selection a lot easier, faster and error prone.

On the GNUCash user voice this sounds a bit similar to my 'icing' 
https://gnucash.uservoice.com/forums/101223-feature-request/suggestions/1589607-type-ahead-search-when-entering-the-accounts-to-a 
but rather than a type ahead match a straight filter on search of any 
COA account that matches any part of the account name on that filter 
string.

If others think this 'icing' suggestion worthy I'll add it to the user 
voice. I did spend some time searching to see if this request was 
already there. Looks like there are 351 feature requests.

Perhaps the developers could refine the import process to allow 
performing the first and second parts simultaneously.

That is my suggestion.

   - Jeff



To help us understand, we need some more information about your work
flow.
Do you enter transactions into Gnucash one by one, and then run the
import looking for ones you have missed (or could be fraudulent) OR do
you use the OFX file to populate your Gnucash ledger?

If you do enter one by one you can of course put the memo in at that
stage. The importer will find the transaction as a possible match, and
you will tell it NOT to amend the matched transaction.

Liz


I use the OFX file to populate the Gnucash ledger. As I import and 
categorize I check transactions against vendor (seller) online records. 
Other than recurring transactions I generally want to add a memo to most 
other transactions.


I generally am working through a number of transactions. As I lookup 
each item in the sellers site to verify the transaction and decide 
classification there is no opportunity for me to add the memo. I have to 
go through seller site transactions again after moving each item from 
the 'Generic import transaction matcher' to add the memo. Time consuming.


What I've started to do is move the un-categorized transactions that I 
want a memo for into a register "UnAccounted For" There I can categorize 
and add memos at the same time working my way through verifying against 
online seller transactions until there are no more remaining. mostly 
Ebay, PayPal and Amazon.


I read about "6.15.5.2. Assign a Destination Account to Multiple 
Transaction" and once David gets that functionality restored to 3.5.x, 
see thread; "6.15.5.2. Assign a Destination Account to Multiple 
Transaction" that will be handy in the 'Generic import transaction 
matcher' window to deal with some of the transactions that have a common 
destination and don't need a memo. Then I can use the multiple 
transaction selector to move all reaming un-categorized transactions to 
my "UnAccounted For" account to classify and add memos. It's a bit 
tedious right now as I have to move one transaction at a time however it 
saves me the time sink of looking up each item twice. I can enter the 
memo and the destination category / account at the same time while 
verifying that transaction on seller sites. If I don't recall the 
transaction and can't find it on a seller's site then It's suspicious of 
being bogus.

The patch to implement the multiple selection in the importer doesn't appear

patch for the documentation made it in.  If you are building from source, I
can send you the amended files to incorporate in the build. I haven't
checked it out since v3.1 when it was uploaded to the sources. John was
planning on incorporating it for 3.5 but must have missed it while dealing
with other issues. Only helps if you are building from source unofrtunately.

I'll recheck out the mods in 3.5 and if necessary put another pull request
in to John to get them uploaded.

[GNC] 6.15.5.2. Assign a Destination Account to Multiple Transaction

2019-04-24 Thread Jeff Albrecht

On this page; "6.15. Importing Transactions from Files" 
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-help/trans-import.html#trans-import-matcher 


6.15.5. Import Matcher I'll copy it here

Is it still valid? I'm attempting to select multiple transactions for 
assignment to a single specific _category_ I'm not able to duplicate the 
leftClick and ctl-leftClick to make multiple selections as described in 
6.15.5.2 I'm not seeing a right click popup either.


I'm in the 'Generic import transaction matcher' 'list of downloaded 
transactions (source split shown):' Using GNUCash version 3.5.1 after 
importing a .OFX file from a bank.

 6.15.5. Import Matcher

The Import Matcher uses a Bayesian approach to assign a destination 
account, if it is not specified in the imported data, to each imported 
transaction based on the previous import history of the import account. 
It also attempts to match the transactions being imported to any 
existing transactions based on the date and the description fields.


Transaction rows which match existing transactions already in the import 
account are flagged not to be imported. They will have a light green 
background and the A and U+R checkboxes will be unchecked and the R 
checkbox will be checked. To override and import the transaction, check 
the A checkbox. The U and R boxes will be unchecked automatically. The 
reliability of the match is indicated by a bar display in the Info 
column. If a destination account for the second split is assigned by the 
matcher if will be appended to the info column.


Transaction rows which do not match existing transactions in the import 
account, for which an assignment of a destination account cannot be made 
on the basis of the previous import history to the account, will be 
displayed with an orange-yellow background and the A box will be checked 
and U+R and R unchecked. A destination account must be specified for 
these transactions.



   6.15.5.1. Assign a Destination Account to a Single Transaction

The currently selected row is selected by Left-clicking it. It is 
displayed with a mid dark green background.


*Double click*on a row. This will select it and open an Account 
Selection dialog. Select the desired destination account in the dialog 
and click*OK*. The row background will change to a light green and the 
assigned destination account will be displayed in the Info column.


or alternatively,*Left-click*on a row to select it followed by 
a*Right-click*to bring up a popup menu then select "Assign a transfer 
account" to display the Account Selection dialog, select the destination 
account and click the*OK*button.



   6.15.5.2. Assign a Destination Account to Multiple Transaction

Sometimes you will have several transactions which will have the same 
destination account. Gnucash allows you to select multiple transactions 
and apply the same destination account to all transactions in the selection.


Rows in a selection are displayed with a mid dark green background.

Multiple rows may be selected to have the same destination account 
assigned to them.


To select rows either:

 *

   *Left click*on first row and then*Ctrl-Left click*on other rows to
   add to the selection or

 *

   *Left-click*on a first row and then*Shift-Left-click*on another row
   to select all rows between them.

then*Right-click*to display a popup menu and then select*"Assign a 
transfer account"*to open the Account Selection dialog. Select the 
desired destination account and click the*OK*button in the Account 
Selection dialog.

[GNC] OFX Import add Memo to transaction

2019-04-24 Thread Jeff Albrecht


I'm using GNUCash on Windows 10 using version 3.5.1 upgraded from 2.6.19.

As I import a .OFX file from my bank or credit card and match/enter/edit 
with the 'Generic import transaction matcher' I sit with my Ebay and 
PayPal accounts open in browser tabs to lookup transactions to be sure I 
categorize them to my liking. There is information important to me that 
I want to add as a memo in each of the transactions. Sometimes I try to 
modify the transaction after I enter / classify it into the correct 
'category' entering a memo however I generally get message something to 
the effect of 'transaction is open in another window, please close or 
finish that edit' I'm assuming the message is referring to the 'Generic 
import transaction matcher' window, other times I get a message about 
the transaction being out of balance after I've added a memo - usually 
the former about the record being open in another window.


Is there a way to add a memo during the import process?

If not It's a feature I'd very much like to see. I imagine that once I 
select the account for the match it could open up in a 'transaction 
journal' view allowing me to enter a memo and clicking a O.K. accept 
button. The 'transaction journal' view could be displayed in the 
'Generic import transaction matcher' for items that have been matched. A 
check box could enable (or disable) this behavior in the 'Generic import 
transaction matcher' screen. And / or as a preferences selection.

[GNC] Convincing my credit union to support online importing

2018-04-19 Thread Jeff Albrecht

Here in Arizona, USA Tuesday I attend the annual meeting of my credit
union. I met with the Senior VP / Chief Information officer. We spoke
about Quicken and it's rapid price hikes and move to subscription model.
I told him a bit about GnuCash and that I had just converted to GnuCash
and had imported a decade of Quicken data. I gave him some old school
paper with some resources and my contact info. I asked if it would be
possible to support online banking to support GnuCash. They do have a
.OFX export. Yesterday he emailed to me;

"... Intuit has ratcheted up their pricing model for several
years and good to know there are viable options in the
marketplace. We have connected with the team here at ___ and
will look into GNUCash over the next few business days. Can I
get back with you by Friday, April 27^th ? My contact
information is listed below. Please don’t hesitate to reach out
with additional ideas or questions."

They seem genuinely interested. I would like to gather up information
that may be valuable to the credit union in researching and deciding to
support it, and perhaps links to implementation resources.

Does anyone have links etc. I might want to read and share with my
Credit Union? Beyond

* "Setting up OFXDirectConnect in GnuCash 2"

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Setting_up_OFXDirectConnect_in_GnuCash_2#The_AqBanking_Set-up_Wizard
* "AqBanking" https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/AqBanking

I'm also looking for

* Press
o public looking for their banks to support it
o banks that have implemented
+ Success stories
* Technical
o Resources
* ???

Has anyone on the list worked with a bank to convince and/or implement
support for online connections?

Thanks, - Jeff
