Re: [GNC] cut/paste problem in 3.4?

2019-07-03 Thread Adrien Monteleone via gnucash-user
Seeing how it functions I doubt it would use the OS clipboard. It isn’t just 
copying/cutting text. It also re-assigns the anchor split to the new account 
you paste it in. So this is certainly held in an internal ‘clipboard’ of sorts 
until pasted.

I would say the feature is much more complicated than a simple cut/copy/paste 
operation though that is the eventual effect.

Adrien

transaction  copy or cut action does not use the clipboard there either.  I
didn't have time to test pasting, however.

2019-07-02 Thread Paul Kinzelman

Thanks for your replies, also to David T, your way of moving a transaction
had not occurred to me before. I'll try that next time.
I figured the copy/paste would work more easily, hadn't occurred to me
that it was for going between different files.

I'm just curious where GC stashes the transaction, doesn't seem to be
on the standard copy/paste clipboard because I don't see it when I
paste into a text editor. But it has to go someplace globally to be able
to move between 2 different GC files.

BTW, the transaction was same currency, same file, vanilla transaction.
And Adrien, your test case captured what I did.

And I don't think it's the keyboard, these laptop keys are pretty tight and
I haven't spilled coffee or beer on it. :-) The control and C keys always
work at other times reliably.

I think the best thing to do at this point is to declare victory and move on
because it's not repeatable. Maybe play with it a bit if it happens again.

Re: [GNC] cut/paste problem in 3.4?

2019-07-02 Thread Adrien Monteleone
Paul,

Sorry for any time wasted or misdirection on my part. I re-read your original 
and subsequent posts and realized you were moving a transaction within the same 
book.

I’ve only ever heard this feature used in reference to moving/copying 
transactions between two open files, so I errantly presumed that was the case 
here, which is why I considered a window/mouse focus issue as in that case, the 
cut and paste would be in separate windows.

As noted in my other recent reply, I tested a cut/paste within the same book 
between two different registers and all went well, regardless of if I was 
cutting the debit or credit split.

So, until or unless you could make it repeat the issue intentionally and 
repeatedly with the same steps, I’m afraid this one will have to be offered up 
to the digital gods to sort out.

Finally, don’t discount a key not functioning. I’ve run myself ragged trying to 
figure out keyboard shortcuts not working properly (especially with 
cmd/ctrl/alt keys) only to discover that after removing the key caps, I saw 
some gunk underneath that was preventing the keypress from registering, though 
I was banging the heck out of it. A little cleaning with a q-tip and some 
rubbing alcohol, and... "magic!”  You can bring up an onscreen keyboard viewer 
that will highlight a key as you press it. Using that, you might see if the 
CTRL key is sticking or missing. (and test the other CTRL key as well)

Adrien

Re: [GNC] cut/paste problem in 3.4?

2019-07-02 Thread Adrien Monteleone
I never cut and paste whole transactions either. I’ve always just re-assigned 
one of the splits. (either via jump if I’m changing the anchor split, or 
rarely, using the Journal)

I thought this function was used more for copying or moving transactions 
between two open files, so I’ve never bothered. (and changing account 
assignments seems more proper to me)

However, testing the feature just for this thread, I was able to successfully 
move a transaction from one register to another. (and back again)

This transaction had two splits for accounts A & B.

I entered the register for account A and cut it.

Then I opened the register for account C and pasted it.

GnuCash re-assigned the transaction to be between B & C. Account A was no 
longer involved. (I also tested the reverse, cutting from register B and 
posting in C. That also worked.)

It seems like a handy feature, but apparently has some hiccups on occasion.

I wonder, the OP didn’t note the currencies involved. Perhaps the intended 
target is in a different currency? (though I should think that one would have 
been obviously noted as a manual re-assignment should trigger the exchange rate 
dialog)

Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] cut/paste problem in 3.4?

2019-07-02 Thread sunfish62--- via gnucash-user
Paul,

I don't use the cut and paste transaction feature. If I want to move a
transaction, I will change the account assignment for that split, which
effectively moves the transaction from one register to another.

I would wonder at the utility of cut and paste in this example. A
transaction contains two entries, each associated with a specific account,
say accounts A & B. If I were to copy the transaction and paste it into
account C, there would be nothing to connect the transaction with account C,
and the transaction would "re-appear" in accounts A & B, but not appear in
account C. This is, in fact the behavior you originally described.

If, instead, you follow my approach, you would open account A, change the
entry for either A or B to account C, and save the transaction. The
transaction would disappear from the account you changed from, and appear in
account C instead. 

Note that if you change A to C while in the register for account A and press
"Enter," GnuCash may complain about removing the anchor split. I have found
that Tabbing through the line will allow you to proceed anyway.

Subject: Re: [GNC] cut/paste problem in 3.4?

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try to remember that.
I've been using gnucash for almost a year and I'd never seen it before tho I
don't cut/paste whole transactions very often so I don't know when it'll
come up again. I have done transaction copy/paste successfully in the past,
so it is intermittent.

I don't think it's a focus problem or it would not have deleted the
transaction from the source. I didn't focus in any other app between the cut
and the paste, and the destination did focus when I clicked on the tab just
before doing the paste.

So you're saying that if gnucash doesn't see a paste right after a cut, it
puts the transaction back where it came from? That makes sense for it to do
that.

But I'm curious, where does gnucash stash the cut transaction?
It doesn't seem to be in the standard clipboard.

Now that you mention it, I have noticed that if I do a simple copy/paste of
text between like Firefox and emacs (not in gnucash) sometimes it would not
work (paste would get previous contents), so I've gotten into the habit of
hitting ^C about 30 times (that many because I'm pissed that I have to do it
more than once :-) whenever I want to copy.
I've seen that behavior intermittently on W10 on a previous laptop and now
on this one too. Maybe it's a W10 issue.

My first suspicion would be a mouse/window focus problem. It did paste it, but 
not in the window you were expecting it to. Since you can paste into emacs, the 
problem is either intermittent, or somehow limited to GnuCash.

I do know GnuCash on MacOS at least, has a focus problem where you must click 
the title bar sometimes to get it to accept input even though the window 
‘appears’ to be in focus. If that’s your OS, do a search for some threads in

Maybe do a trial with clicking the GnuCash title bar first, then pasting, and

Re: [GNC] cut/paste problem in 3.4?

2019-07-01 Thread Paul Kinzelman

Hadn't thought of that.

I had already exited when I saw your suggestion and when I started
up gnucash again, that same sequence to/from the same accounts as before
now works. Perhaps copy/paste works only in the afternoons, not 
mornings. :-)


Earlier when I saw the problem, the cut did work,
the transaction vanished from the source account, but
when I pasted it into the destination account, it magically appeared again
in the source account but not the destination account.

I also tried cutting a transaction, then pasting into a text editor (emacs)
and the transaction does not paste so they must hide it someplace else
other than the standard clipboard.

I can cut/copy text from one of the gnucash fields and paste it in emacs
so that part works with the standard clipboard.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, I guess I'll chalk it up to a stray 
cosmic ray.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Have you tried pasting into 
something like a plain text editor after cutting? Perhaps the 
clipboard is not picking up the ?cut? but GnuCash is still removing 
the data. Anytime I have a pasting problem I always test in a plain 
text editor to see if that is the issue. Regards, Adrien

I went to another account, pasted it, and it wasn't there, it had
gone back to the account where it was before I cut it.

So I carefully repeated the cut/paste and it did that again.

So I deleted it from the one account, and typed it in manually into
the other account and it worked.

Has anybody else seen anything like this?

Perhaps the clipboard is not picking up the ‘cut’ but GnuCash is still removing 
the data.

Anytime I have a pasting problem I always test in a plain text editor to see if 
that is the issue.
