[GNC] Issues importing transactions (not matching)

[Alan Johnson via gnucash-user]

Hello,

I'm attempting to import transactions from a credit card QFX file /
Quicken format.  


I have the pre-entered transaction as 'LEGO' in the amount of 45.14. 
The imported transaction is "LEGO Enfeild CT" in the amount of 45.14. 

Gnucash thinks these are not the same - and there are a number of other
transactions that are the same way.  How can I manually match these? or
adjust it so they match?

Thanks,

Alan

Re: [GNC] Issues with missing gnc-fq-dump

[David H]

>From the 5.0 release notes

The Online Quotes facility has been completely rewritten and the old
gnc-fq-check, gnc-fq-dump, and gnc-fq-helper programs have been replaced
with finance-quote-wrapper. The functions performed by those programs may
now be accomplished by passing commands to gnucash-cli -Q, see gnucash-cli
--help for specifics. The perl module requirements have changed with the
rewrite: The new version doesn't need Date::Manip but needs JSON::Parse
instead. gnc-fq-update has been, er, updated to reflect that.

[GNC] Issues with missing gnc-fq-dump

[Robin Haeusler via gnucash-user]

g'day. trying to setup Gnucash on my Debian Linux system. Installed and 
working fine, but now need to start tracking crypto currency trading and 
earnings/losses. I have followed the manual, can get gnc-fq-update to 
work, but not gnc-fq-dump can't find it installed anywhere.


I work with aud as my default currency, and all investments reported 
back as usd/usdt. I honestly think there are some improvements needed in 
the manual for helping an ancient beginner!


any advice be greatfully appreciated.

Re: [GNC] Issues Recognizing Account Names When Importing CSV into GnuCash

[Adrien Monteleone]

If I'm not mistaken, you should only have to do this once per account. 
Now, combining this with your other question, there is reason #2 to 
break this into smaller import chunks. You don't want to have to 
manually assign those in a large quantity in a single pass.

Re: [GNC] Issues Importing a Large CSV with Multiple Accounts into GnuCash: Is Duplicated Transactions Normal?

[Adrien Monteleone]

This is one of the reasons why it is not recommended to import a large 
file, especially one containing transactions from more than a single 
account on one side of each transaction.


Read over the Help Manual & the Tutorial & Concepts Guide concerning 
imports.


The usual recommended procedure is to break the import into smaller 
chunks depending on how many transactions you have in a month/year, etc.


So for example, you might import January 2023 of your checking account. 
(from whatever other app, or from a bank download) Then reconcile, and 
repeat for February, then March, etc.


As you go, you are training the matcher, so the imports speed up, and 
duplicates are detected.


It is up to you, how big the import chunks are, but bigger is not 
necessarily faster, and maybe rarely is.

I assumed that GnuCash’s import algorithm would recognize and eliminate

both transactions, resulting in duplicated entries.

Is this a mistake on my part, or is this behavior expected from GnuCash

[GNC] Issues Importing a Large CSV with Multiple Accounts into GnuCash: Is Duplicated Transactions Normal?

[Gio Bacareza]

I've been attempting to import a large, consolidated CSV file containing
multiple accounts into GnuCash. Previously, I used to import transaction
logs from various accounts individually, which I thought was a cumbersome
process. To simplify this, I’ve created scripts to compile all transactions
into one comprehensive CSV file for what I thought would be a more
straightforward import process.

However, I've encountered an issue where GnuCash duplicates certain
transactions during the import. Specifically, this happens when a
transaction represents a withdrawal from one account and a deposit into
another, which are naturally recorded as two separate entries in the CSV.
For instance, when money is withdrawn from a bank account and deposited
into a cash account, the consolidated CSV file includes one row showing the
bank account debit and another showing the cash account credit.

I assumed that GnuCash’s import algorithm would recognize and eliminate
these duplicate transactions during the import process as it typically does
with other duplicates. Unfortunately, my tests indicate that it imports
both transactions, resulting in duplicated entries.

Is this a mistake on my part, or is this behavior expected from GnuCash
when importing a large CSV with multiple accounts? Any insights or
solutions to prevent these duplicates would be greatly appreciated.

Check the Wiki concerning file locations. (just do a search on the wiki 
for "file locations") and you'll find a very detailed breakdown of where 
everything GnuCash related is stored.


While it seems you are describing an entirely custom report, I do know 
the 'saved reports' file changed names and the migration for many 
involved manually renaming the file accordingly. (I'm not entirely 
certain why this file is named with the version as part of the file 
name, but it is what we live with)


This may or may not address your exact issue, but I'd bet something in 
examining those file locations will shed some light on why your report 
'disappeared'.



Yes, Windows 10 will tab.  However, I am talking about the separate 
account register tabs displayed within GNUcash, that you can display: 
top, bottom, left, or right. (Which gives him more options)


His screen resolution is x1080, My screen resolution is 4K 
(3840x2160) with NVIDIA display.  Does that matter?


Okay, good to know we're discussing the GnuCash tabs. Note my followup 
reply about the arrows at the ends of the tab bar, and about the tab 
list via right-click. Does that help?


As for resolution, x1080 is most likely 1920x1080 which is standard 
HD. That is plenty large enough for more than 5 tabs. (It is what I use)


Something else is definitely wrong. I'd say it is time for a bug report.

Now, on to the errant installation:

I'm on a Mac, so I can't test this, but does Win10 have the ability to 
'tab' separate windows as a function of the OS? (Mac does)


If this is the case, by 'tabs' do you mean "within the gnucash 
interface" or do you mean "within the Windows OS"?


The first case is separate tabs like in a web browser or spreadsheet.

The second case is roughly similar, but the UI is a bit different and 
each 'tab' is really a separate window of the app. (the window title 
bar appears tabbed, or else a separate tab bar above/below it, but 
clearly different from what GnuCash provides out of the box otherwise)


Of note, check "Preferences > Register Defaults > Other Defaults > 
Register opens in new window", and make sure it is *not* checked. 
(meaning you get 'GnuCash' tabs within the app - not separate windows, 
tabbed together or not)


And if Win10 doesn't have this ability, consider having him play with 
checking that preference as a workaround. (he'll have to manage 
separate windows, but the ability to open more than 4 might be worth 
it, and managing them with the keyboard, mouse, or the Windows menu 
which shows a list of open windows of the app)


There is also "Preferences > Reports > Location > Report opens in a 
new window", which will spawn a window instead of a tab for reports, 
which can help further testing.


My next question would be, "Does the limitation of 5 total tabs also 
include reports, a mix of reports and accounts, or just accounts?"


And then my only other question would be, "What is his screen 
resolution?"


My recommendation regardless of that answer (it is just for my 
curiosity, as I know some really small screens might have issues - 
there is a really reasonable design minimum, 800px I think) is to 
please file a bug with all of the relevant details, especially 
anything that is unique to that laptop that isn't working properly.


*Also Note - he shouldn't have to shorten account names. The built-in 
solution should be to substitute ellipses for longer names past the 
charcter preference limit. If that is not happening - definitely file 
a bug.


*Last Gasp — does he by chance have a custom UI stylesheet on that 
machine? There are ways to directly alter UI elements via CSS, at 
least as of 2.6. I'm not sure if that was possible in 2.4. But if so, 
an old display rule might be at play causing havoc. See the Wiki about 
GTK customizations: 
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Customizing_the_Appearance

How version 2.4.13 started acting flaky with Windows 10 on both our

I think that's highly unlikely.

Short filenames were a max of 8 characters, possibly followed by _a_dot_
and 1-3 characters. There's no dot in "Administrato", and it's longer
than 8 characters.

Re: [GNC] Issues with gnucash files

[David Carlson]

Back in the day when I used Windows fairly regularly and before Windows 7
(i.e. Windows XP or Vista  or even earlier days) when it may have been
installed into a 32 bit computer, it was fairly common to see Windows using
special foreshortened names to fit into the 32 bit file system without
requiring the double quotes that many of us regularly failed to use
correctly.  I think 'Administrato' is an artifact from those days, and I
think the OP's system may have originated in that era.  That does not
change how Windows 10 or 11 processes user rights.  At least now it is
easier to just operate as an ordinary user and only run programs 'as
administrator'  when required.  It is also easier today for ordinary users
to understand how to play the 'rights' game to complete a task, once they
know when it is needed.  There are a few of us 'Old Fogeys' that used to
have 32 bit computers who did not structure our file systems with clearly
defined user folders and some of us even thought it was ok to put user
files in Windows folders or even just in the 'C' drive where they were
'easy to find'.

We don't know where the OP lives.  Maybe he is in Idalia's danger zone.

I noted that, too, but on some Windows computers, there is a secret hidden
account called "Administrator", so when I needed to create an admin-level
account, I have to call it something else (Admin or System works for me),
so I thought that perhaps he called his "administrato" to get around this
problem.

Or maybe it was a typo.

Re: [GNC] Issues

[Adrien Monteleone]

I forgot something, so please I hope you read this first and don't go 
down those rabbit holes just yet...


I currently have 17 tabs open. (mix of reports, invoices & accounts) I 
normally keep this on the Left side as I get to see more tabs at once, 
and because of my wide-screen oriented monitor, I prefer reserving the 
vertical space and using some of the extra horizontal space for tabs.


But I switched it to 'Top' position as a test, and also narrowed my 
window roughly in half. (usually 1920px, so now 960px)


I've attached a screenshot of my resulting tab bar. You'll see arrows to 
the left and right of the outside tabs. Those allow you to advance back 
and forth to the next tab that you can't see. (but they are open)


Also, if you right-click any tab, you'll get a tab list to choose from.

I think this was introduced in 3.x, but I could be mistaken.

Regards,
Adrien

rest of us mere mortals.

Now, on to the errant installation:

I'm on a Mac, so I can't test this, but does Win10 have the ability to 
'tab' separate windows as a function of the OS? (Mac does)


If this is the case, by 'tabs' do you mean "within the gnucash 
interface" or do you mean "within the Windows OS"?


The first case is separate tabs like in a web browser or spreadsheet.

The second case is roughly similar, but the UI is a bit different and 
each 'tab' is really a separate window of the app. (the window title bar 
appears tabbed, or else a separate tab bar above/below it, but clearly 
different from what GnuCash provides out of the box otherwise)


Of note, check "Preferences > Register Defaults > Other Defaults > 
Register opens in new window", and make sure it is *not* checked. 
(meaning you get 'GnuCash' tabs within the app - not separate windows, 
tabbed together or not)


And if Win10 doesn't have this ability, consider having him play with 
checking that preference as a workaround. (he'll have to manage separate 
windows, but the ability to open more than 4 might be worth it, and 
managing them with the keyboard, mouse, or the Windows menu which shows 
a list of open windows of the app)


There is also "Preferences > Reports > Location > Report opens in a new 
window", which will spawn a window instead of a tab for reports, which 
can help further testing.


My next question would be, "Does the limitation of 5 total tabs also 
include reports, a mix of reports and accounts, or just accounts?"


And then my only other question would be, "What is his screen resolution?"

My recommendation regardless of that answer (it is just for my 
curiosity, as I know some really small screens might have issues - there 
is a really reasonable design minimum, 800px I think) is to please file 
a bug with all of the relevant details, especially anything that is 
unique to that laptop that isn't working properly.


*Also Note - he shouldn't have to shorten account names. The built-in 
solution should be to substitute ellipses for longer names past the 
charcter preference limit. If that is not happening - definitely file a bug.


*Last Gasp — does he by chance have a custom UI stylesheet on that 
machine? There are ways to directly alter UI elements via CSS, at least 
as of 2.6. I'm not sure if that was possible in 2.4. But if so, an old 
display rule might be at play causing havoc. See the Wiki about GTK 
customizations: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Customizing_the_Appearance

Barry,

In this message you state that ' administrato' is the good name to use but
you do not say whether that is the username that you log into your computer
with from a cold start or whether you are still logged in as administrato
when you start Gnucash.  When you start Gnucash do you get a warning that
the file is read only? Is that the name of the user that has administrator
access?

Also have you checked the properties of that user to see if you read and
write privileges as that user and in folders belonging to that user?

Re: [GNC] Issues with gnucash files

[David Cousens]

Barry,

A file attached to an email can be of any type -there is generally no
requirement on the type of file to attach. Whether the recipient can then open
it depends on the software they are using. Most of the common image formats
(.jpg, .gif, .tif, .png etc) which are compressed bitmap images can be opened by
most image display programs - less so in the case of vector drawing formats.

The information we need to help you is mainly going to be in the form of screen
window captures from File Explorer (or command like DIR with specific options
from the command line interface to display the ownership and permissions
information.

You can either capture an image of the window on the screen or if using the
command line window direct the ouput of the command line to a text file.

In all cases first you need to create the image or text file on your hard disk
and then you need to attach the file you create to an email reply.

You can also find plenty of help on-line for Windows  specific operations using
Google. But doing that successfully usually means including a few specific
keywords in the search term the most important of which will be "Windows" likely
"file" and then a descriptor of the information you are trying to find to limit
the replies to something useful.

In some cases it may appear that we are trying to teach you to suck eggs but we
have only limited information about your familiarity with the Windows operating
system and what you know or don't know. The impression most of us get from your
replies is that you are a  relatively new user of Windows with not a lot of
background on how operating systems work in general and how Windows works in
detail. 

On the other hand we who are replying also often have widely different and
overlapping skill sets and individually use GnuCash on one or more of the three
major PC operating systems and sub-variants in the case of Linux users. Some of
us are or have been software developers. Our aim is to get to a common
understanding which will enable us to help you sort your problem. You may find
the profusion of answers coming from different directions a little confusing but
often it is the variety of perspectives that is the main advantage of a mailing
list.

Hi Adrien,  I realize that 2.4.13, was extremely old, but it completely 
worked for me.  Whenever I upgraded, I always had a new set of issues, I 
really didn't have time to deal with.  2.4.13 started acting a little 
flaky with Windows 10, so I thought it may be time to install 5.3.  When 
I installed 5.3 on my machine, I first completely deleted 2.4.13 , 
including the configuration and report files.  I then snooped all over 
the computer and deleted anything pertaining to GNUcash.  I then ran 
CCleaner and Privazer and deleted any residual registry entries.  I then 
rebooted and did a fresh new install of GNUcash 5.3.   Everything worked 
great.  I was first impressed by the Account Reconciliation report, 
which 2.4.13 lacked.


I'm familiar with the style sheets and created custom ones for our

Greg, 2.4.x was a very old release. Did you properly go through the

And what do you mean exactly by 'display accounts on the page'? Can he 
not open more than 4 register tabs? (so 5 tabs total including the 
ever-present 'Accounts' tab) Maybe a screenshot here will help 
clarify. Obfuscate any sensitive numbers/info of course.


As for the negative numbers issue:

That preference is for the Accounts Tab & various Register Tabs.

Reports have their own separate display controls via Style Sheets.

Unless otherwise specified, all reports use the 'Default' style sheet.

You can set a custom style sheet via Options, or else edit the default 
style sheet via Edit > Style Sheets.


From there, select 'Default' and click the Edit button. You'll see on 
the Fonts tab an option for 'Negative numbers in red' that you can 
un-select.


Click 'Apply', Then reload the report. Future reports should behave 
accordingly.

The issue he is having, is that he can not display more than 4

show up in red in reports.

I believe I missed Nigel's comment, but I agree with all that David T. said.

And sprinkling messages across multiple threads, one of them the generic
"GnuCash", just makes things worse. Those of us with nothing to
contribute (unless we want to duplicate what others have said, which
would be unhelpful) can't even filter out this mess.

Re: [GNC] Issues with gnucash files

[Mahon Finbar via gnucash-user]

Thank you Adrien for a) being so patient, and b) reacting properly to 
the unnecessary comments.


Somewhere, way back, it is my impression that the requirement for 
attaching to posts had to be in jpg format, is that the case, or will a 
vanilla screen scrape do?? From this message that would appear to be the 
case. Also, I am not certain how much of a scrape you need, I have 
screenfulls.


I aplogise for the confusion between adminstratO and adminstrator. As a 
result of various ministrations to this PC when I first got it, a while 
back, several names were applied, barry mahon, finbar mahon, 
administration, and administrato, The latter one if 'good'


As to  attach, maybe it my misunderstanding. I have a screen in a file 
in 'This PC' with a list of files from gnu. If I do 'attach' (top RHS) 
it appears, but if I then click Add Attachment the files screen 'blinks' 
and if I click 'send' it asks 'did you forget an attachment' If I do 
PrtSc (or windows icon and PrtSc, depending on the advice received!!) 
the same things happens 'did you forget'


I have answered 'no, send now' to send this, sorry, further confusion.

That's mostly my fault on the 'administrato' vs. 'administator' issue.

path instead of copy/pasting it, that would explain the spelling.


As for permissions, I'm not even concerned about root/admin vs. not 
but simply one user trying to save into another's file tree. That 
alone would most likely return a permissions error message. It seems 
Barry is logging in regularly under an account with that name, but 
GnuCash is opening a file stored under another user. (at some point 
that had to be done manually via File > Open, or since this is 
Windows, perhaps navigating to that other user and double-clicking the 
file - still manual and intentional)


Why the file is there instead of the regular user account, I don't know.

But I see the solution as moving it to the regular user account, 
fixing the file ownership and permission flags, and then proceeding to 
clean up the multiple file/backup file apparent mess.

Maf,

With regards to Nigel's comment, over the past month and a half, there have 
been well over a hundred messages sprinkled across eight different threads that 
seek to address the situation. At some point, it would seem that the problems 
cannot be solved through this venue. For me, that was about 40-50 messages ago.

+1.

get everything RW and into a folder in the "Barry" tree.   find the most 
recently changed file(s) and go from there (in a new folder) with the save 
issue. then Barry will have to clean up the inevitable missing txns that 
were made in backup files only.

@Nigel Stapley.   ISTR the user Mahon Finbar has been on the list for years, 
only occasionally having problems which I think have been solved in the past 
quite swiflty or easliy  (or not).   I think he is having genuine problems 
just now.  However, I agree that the problems as presented seem somewhat wider 
than just GC.

Re: [GNC] Issues with gnucash files

[Adrien Monteleone]

That's mostly my fault on the 'administrato' vs. 'administator' issue.

But I only kept typing that because Barry reported a file path at one 
point with that spelling, and I wasn't certain of a possible different 
language in use, so I didn't correct it. If Barry transcribed the file 
path instead of copy/pasting it, that would explain the spelling.


As for permissions, I'm not even concerned about root/admin vs. not but 
simply one user trying to save into another's file tree. That alone 
would most likely return a permissions error message. It seems Barry is 
logging in regularly under an account with that name, but GnuCash is 
opening a file stored under another user. (at some point that had to be 
done manually via File > Open, or since this is Windows, perhaps 
navigating to that other user and double-clicking the file - still 
manual and intentional)


Why the file is there instead of the regular user account, I don't know.

But I see the solution as moving it to the regular user account, fixing 
the file ownership and permission flags, and then proceeding to clean up 
the multiple file/backup file apparent mess.

Adrien

Re: [GNC] Issues

[Adrien Monteleone]

Greg, 2.4.x was a very old release. Did you properly go through the 
version by version upgrade on both machines, or did you just jump from 
2.4.13 to 5.3?


And what do you mean exactly by 'display accounts on the page'? Can he 
not open more than 4 register tabs? (so 5 tabs total including the 
ever-present 'Accounts' tab) Maybe a screenshot here will help clarify. 
Obfuscate any sensitive numbers/info of course.


As for the negative numbers issue:

That preference is for the Accounts Tab & various Register Tabs.

Reports have their own separate display controls via Style Sheets.

Unless otherwise specified, all reports use the 'Default' style sheet.

You can set a custom style sheet via Options, or else edit the default 
style sheet via Edit > Style Sheets.


From there, select 'Default' and click the Edit button. You'll see on 
the Fonts tab an option for 'Negative numbers in red' that you can 
un-select.


Click 'Apply', Then reload the report. Future reports should behave 
accordingly.


Regards,
Adrien

OK,I have an app called CaptureWiz but it doesn't save as gps



"gps" as a file format was never requested. I don't know why you think 
it was. Why did you even comment on this fact, who told you that was the 
necessary format? (where did you get that idea?)


Note, you *do not* need a screenshot app, though some of them do offer 
extra abilities.


At a very basic level, Windows OS has supported the PrtSc key on your 
keyboard for 30+years. If you hit that key, a screenshot of your current 
viewport will be saved somewhere. In the past it was a BMP format to the 
clipboard, but I've heard modern versions save a PNG to a folder. You 
NEED to do a tad bit of homework to learn how this works. Of course, if 
you already know how to use CaptureWiz, that is fine. I'm sure its 
formats are compatible with this list.


--

Here goes with an attachment - recent files in tax accounts and returns, 
as I said, not used as gnucash data from loading, recently, but seem to 
have recently saved files. Further mystery.


Not a mystery. You clearly are not paying attention to where you are 
saving your files or where you are accessing them from. (once you told 
us it was 'tax accounts and returns' under the 'Barry Mahon' user and 
other times you told us it was under the 'Documents' under the 
'admistrato' user)


We can help you to a point, but the end result relies on you. You 
absolutely *must* get it straight in your mind where your files are 
stored. We can help you sort that out, especially now that you've 
figured out attachments.


I have REPEATEDLY stated not to try to send your actual files to us. 
Those won't do any/much good.


Yet, that is what you just did. And in this case, you sent a log file, 
which is effectively useless to us. (you also sent everyone on this list 
an actual copy of your GnuCash file — 2 of them in fact — that is all of 
your personal financial activity! No one ever requested this, I still 
don't know why you keep insisting you need to send it. It does us no 
good with regards to trying to help you.)


I'll congratulate you that you did in fact this time manage to send an 
attachment, even if it wasn't what was requested.


Now you know how to do it properly.
-


My question now is can I and how do I move over to adminstrato?


NO! NO! NO! Do *not* move them over to the user 'adminstrato'! You need 
to take the files that are stored in the 'adminsistrato' tree and move 
them to the 'Barry Mahon' user — opposite of what you are thinking. And 
I have no idea why you'd think otherwise. No one has suggested what you 
are referencing. (that I recall)


The attached files have no 'save' icon live, so, if I enter some data 
will I have the same issue with saving? and what can be done? They are 
in calendar terms quite recent so I would like to continue from where I 
"left off" if possible.


What in the world are you talking about? No, log files (I didn't know 
you could open them with GnuCash) are unlikely to show an active 'save' 
icon. Why would you remotely think so? They are LOG files. They 'log' 
activity (and maybe) errors with activity. (I think errors go to the 
Tracefile, but that is another topic) And if you tried to 'save' the 
attached 'gnucash' files and they didn't save, or were greyed out, that 
makes sense if you were logged in as 'Barry Mahon' but these files were 
'owned' by 'administrato'.


STOP trying to open files and save them. STOP. If that is what you keep 
doing, you are seriously making a MESS.


I advised you weeks ago to slow down. I repeat that advice.

STOP. SLOW DOWN.

Do *NOT* just 'Do Something'. That is a terrible approach if you don't 
know exactly what it is you are doing.


-
The next request is to send a screenshot, while viewing the Windows 
Explorer, when viewing the folder where your Gnucash file resides.


Does that sound complicated? If so, say so, and myself or someone else 
will simplify this process.


Regards,
Adrien

p.s — Barry, I know some of the above sentences may seem harsh. I'm 
doing my best to help you as is everyone else here. You *really* have to 
meet myself and everyone else here at least half-way. You've made a big 
stride in attaching an image vs. copy/pasting one. Keep that momentum up 
and we'll have you solving your conundrum in a jiffy. But you have to 
keep that momentum up...

Barry,

I have never used CaptureWiz but my screen capture utility saves images as
"screenshot from(dateandtime).png".

That format would work here.

You do not need to do anything with the gnucash files to send a screenshot.

We DO NOT need you to send the actual gnucash files.

You can't copy/paste images here. They are removed.

You have to ATTACH the screenshots.

What mail application are you using to access this list?

OK.  or whatever file type CaptureWiz defaults to (I don't know that program).  
I'd imagine that  (some) others on the list and I can open the vast majority

Your last message was truncated before the salient part, but I suspect that
you do not have rights for GnuCash to save files in administrato user space.

You need to unscramble which username is your 'standard' username and put

Re: [GNC] Issues with gnucash files

[Mahon Finbar via gnucash-user]

Thanks for the details, OK, here goes.

I opened this file in Gnu -

No 'log' It had a 'save' icon and when I try to save it I get this -

That is the problem. There is plenty of space.

you can see the datestamps are MMDDhhmmss which should help you decipher

Just try to find the *.gnucash file with the most recent date stamp in the name,
move it into a new folder, call it something sensible and open it.  see what

I'm glad all of the files are under one user now... make sure that you
access them with the same user, or (if you are an advanced user, set the
permissions accordingly).

The file that holds the GnuCash data has an extension of ".gnucash" - you
can ignore the other files for the time being.

Your main file should be "what-you-called-it.gnucash" (for example,
"Finbar.gnucash"). If you don't have one of those files, you have
trouble... all the similar-looking files are backup files with the numbers
being year-month-day-hour-minute-second (using the sample name above,
"Finbar.20230822072234.gnucash").

If your main file is missing, can you restore it from a backup? If so,
restore it, and then start GnuCash and use the File->Open to open that
restored file... you should enter any data you have missing and use this
file as your file henceforth.

If you cannot restore your main file, you will need to pick a backup file,
and start with it. I don't know which would be the best backup file, as I
seem to recall that you have been doing edits on various files. You will
have to decide which is best... possibly, the one with the latest
"Modified" date.  Also, I'm not sure how to open a backup file, because (on
my iMac), the File->Open option does not let me see backup files. You may
need to create a copy of the backup file and call it your main file. You
should then start GnuCash and use File->Open to open that file.

You'll need to correct anything that is wrong and then go forward. Because
of all the confusion, after you are SURE you have a good main file again,
you might want to clear out the old backup files and start fresh. You
control how long to keep backup files in the "General" tab of the
preferences.

As a safety precaution, I would certainly backup the files that you have.

I created a folder just for my GnuCash data files (separate from the
install folder). All it contains are .gnucash files and .log files (and, of
course, the LCK file when I'm running GnuCash). I like this because all it
contains are the data files... this may be worth considering for you. Once
you have your file fixed up, you can use the File->Save As to put your data
file in its own place.

I never click on a file to open it; I always open GnuCash application... it
seems to always open the last file that was being worked on.

Best wishes to you... I hope this helped.

Re: [GNC] Issues with gnucash files

[Mahon Finbar via gnucash-user]

Thank you and happy to see that someone else is confused by filenames 
and suffixes


A screen grab from CaptureWiz of a screen from part of my 'July' GNU search.

My issue was that towards the end of July I had a strange message which 
said I had no rights to save the current transactions to the file I was 
apparently trying to save to. I had no idea were the 'errant' file came 
from.


I put up a text of the message and then went through a series of 
messages about what was happening, with increasing confusion.


All I want to do is find, if possible, the original 'good' file I was 
working on and continue. I would be quite happy to try on the dates in 
the last few days of July, but where to start?


Can anyone identify a likely candidate? For example in the screengrab 
there are a series of files with 496kb on the same time and date on 30 
July, but I am not sure how to start a GNU session to access the 'right' 
file?

The "requirements" message really meant to convey you should either select an 
"Amount" or 
an "Amount (negated)" column, but I understand from your reaction it's poorly 
formulated. It 
tried to squeeze both names in one phrase using brackets to mark negated as 
optional. But 
as the brackets are also used in the real column type name, this is ambiguous.

So in your case, if you originally had selected a "Deposit" column, you will 
now want to set 
that column to "Amount" instead. Sorry for the confusino.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean here. Can you explain this in a 
bit more 
detail ? What page of the assistant are you looking at, and what were you 
expecting to find 
vs what is there now ? You could also attach screenshots (with sensitive data 
removed or 
blurred) if that makes it easier to explain.

[GNC] Issues with Release 5.1

[eliotread]

Dear list,

 

I have been using GNUCash in various forms for 3-4 years. However with the
5.1 release I have some issues:

1.  When uploading transactions, I can select the date, description, but
the "Deposit" option has disappeared from the dropdown selection. The
"requirements" that indicate what dropdowns must be selected, rather than
stating select a column for Deposits, says a column must be selected for
Amount (negated).
2.  If I select the column I would usually use for Deposit to be "Amount
(negated)", which does appear in the dropdown, when I click next to select
the accounts (for transfer or for income/ expense), there are no options to
select the accounts

 

Is this a known issue, or something specific to me?

 

Any help much appreciated!

 

Eliot

Re: [GNC] Issues Retrieving Quotes with v5.0

[Fross, Michael]

So it sounds like this might be a Windows issue with retrieving quotes (I'm
running that latest v11).  I believe perl and the correct modules are
installed (Worked under v4.13 and I installed JSON::Parse) and it works
with the gnucash-cli, but just not within the program.

Happy to help troubleshoot if I can be of assistance.

Have a great day all.

Re: [GNC] Issues Retrieving Quotes with v5.0

[R Losey]

I found the problem; I thought I had switched everything over to use JSON
for prices, but I still had some using Alpha Vantage, and I don't have my
key in the iMac version of GnuCash. Once I switched the few remaining
items, the update is working fine.

Re: [GNC] Issues Retrieving Quotes with v5.0

[R Losey]

Yes, I have an M1 iMac.

Getting the right JSON::Parse for my architecture was what was needed... I
get data now.

But it didn't give me the "want x86_64, have amd64" error... it just said
it wasn't installed.

Checking with GnuCash...better; not greyed out, but not working properly. I
think something is failing, so it just stops on the others. I probably need
to figure out where the log file is to find out which item it cannot get.

Stock Assistant will be only visible/active when your account type is a stock 
or mutual fund. i was able to enter the transactions

You can access it from Actions>Stock Assistant when the focus tab is the 
Accounts page or a Stock or Fund account register.

Hello Murugan,

I've reinstalled Gnucash 5.  gnucash-cli.exe continues to work.  Actions|Stock

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a few pointers on how to troubleshoot an issue I'm having
with v5 downloading quotes.  I had no issues with v4.13.  When I select
"Tools|Price Database|GetQuotes" a shell opens and closes quickly and
nothing is updated.

I don't seem to have any issues with gnucash-cli.  Here are the results:
---

To me, it's odd that gnucash-cli.exe seems to work where the gnucash app
itself does not.

I have Finance::Quote: 1.54 installed and it shows this in Help | About

Lastly, if I check the security editor, it seems like every quote provider

I'd appreciate any pointers on how to dig deeper and determine what broke

I'm enjoying v5 quite a bit - congrats on the release.

Re: [GNC] Issues Retrieving Quotes with v5.0

[David Reiser via gnucash-user]

Is your iMac an Apple Silicon (M1) machine? It’s possible to get mixed 
architecture perl modules installed. If your gnucash-cli -Q error included 
something like “want x86_64, have amd64”, then you definitely have an 
incompatible version of JSON::Parse. The way around that is to enter (in 
Terminal):

sudo arch -arch x86_64 cpan -f JSON::Parse

After that finishes, since gnucash-cli quits at the first error, you need  to 
run gnucash-cli -Q again — both to ensure that the right architecture 
JSON::Parse got installed, and to check if there are any other perl errors.

If necessary, run the above command repeatedly, substituting any new module 
names from arch-related error messages. When gnucash-cli -Q runs without 
complaint, you should be able to get quotes within gnucash 5.0

Re: [GNC] Issues Retrieving Quotes with v5.0

[Murugan Muruganandam]

please discard my query, i did not read the instructions fully, i was able to 
use the same in Stock register.

You can access it from Actions>Stock Assistant when the focus tab is the 
Accounts page or a Stock or Fund account register.

Subject: [GNC] Issues Retrieving Quotes with v5.0

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a few pointers on how to troubleshoot an issue I'm having
with v5 downloading quotes.  I had no issues with v4.13.  When I select
"Tools|Price Database|GetQuotes" a shell opens and closes quickly and
nothing is updated.

I don't seem to have any issues with gnucash-cli.  Here are the results:
---
C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>gnucash-cli.exe --verbose -Q dump

Running gnucash with the "--log gnc.scm=debug"  shows the following error:

* 15:11:29 ERROR  [gnc_prices_dialog_get_quotes_clicked()] Price
retrieval failed: Failed to parse result returned by Finance::Quote.
Error message:
(1): expected value


To me, it's odd that gnucash-cli.exe seems to work where the gnucash app
itself does not.

I have Finance::Quote: 1.54 installed and it shows this in Help | About

Lastly, if I check the security editor, it seems like every quote provider
is greyed out.  This woudl suggest to me that gnucash doesn't think there
is a valid Finance::Quote configured.

I'd appreciate any pointers on how to dig deeper and determine what broke
for me between 4.13 and 5.0.  Is anyone else having issues?

I'm enjoying v5 quite a bit - congrats on the release.

Re: [GNC] Issues Retrieving Quotes with v5.0

[R Losey]

David, thank you.

I did this on my iMac; it ran a LONG time with LOTS of output, and
installed the development tools, but finally finished. Even though I'm a
software engineer, it was kind of scary.

But the "Get Quotes" is still greyed out, even though I ran the
gnc-fq-update...

When I attempt the gnucash-cli command, it fails, stating that
Finance::Quote is missingcthe JSON::Parse module

Re: [GNC] Issues Retrieving Quotes with v5.0

[David H]

Michael,

Is your "Get Quotes" button in Gnucash also greyed out?  I had to run
gnc-fq-update in /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin in the
terminal on macOS and let it update and then start Gnucash before the
button became active. Same in windows 11 pro - open a command prompt as
Administrator and use the command perl "C:\Program Files
(x86)\gnucash\bin\gnc-fq-update" - you need the double quotes around the
path because of the space in the path. After I did this it all seemed ok.

Hope this helps,

Cheers David H.

[GNC] Issues Retrieving Quotes with v5.0

[Fross, Michael]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a few pointers on how to troubleshoot an issue I'm having
with v5 downloading quotes.  I had no issues with v4.13.  When I select
"Tools|Price Database|GetQuotes" a shell opens and closes quickly and
nothing is updated.

I don't seem to have any issues with gnucash-cli.  Here are the results:
---
C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>gnucash-cli.exe --verbose -Q dump
yahoo_json acn
acn:
 isodate => 2023-03-27
 low => 270.64
type => EQUITY
name => acn (Accenture plc)
  pe => 25.180145
exchange => Sourced from Yahoo Finance (as JSON)
 eps => 10.88
currency => USD
  method => yahoo_json
 success => 1
  volume => 2805531
   close => 272
date => 03/27/2023
  year_range =>242.8 - 345.3
last => 273.96
open => 270.73
   div_yield => 1.5919117
  symbol => acn
high => 274.36
---

Running gnucash with the "--log gnc.scm=debug"  shows the following error:

* 15:11:29 ERROR  [gnc_prices_dialog_get_quotes_clicked()] Price
retrieval failed: Failed to parse result returned by Finance::Quote.
Error message:
(1): expected value


To me, it's odd that gnucash-cli.exe seems to work where the gnucash app
itself does not.

I have Finance::Quote: 1.54 installed and it shows this in Help | About

Lastly, if I check the security editor, it seems like every quote provider
is greyed out.  This woudl suggest to me that gnucash doesn't think there
is a valid Finance::Quote configured.

I'd appreciate any pointers on how to dig deeper and determine what broke
for me between 4.13 and 5.0.  Is anyone else having issues?

I'm enjoying v5 quite a bit - congrats on the release.

Michael

You may also want to verify that the MySQL server is set to accept 
connections from your GnuCash machine.

Yes, just include the port number after a colon in the Host box of the

Re: [GNC] Issues with Payables

[Adrien Monteleone]

Yeah, can't do that.

Right click the transaction and use 'Edit Payment' to change the date. 
That way the 'Business Features' will be cognizant of the change.


To fix the existing transactions' "no owner" problem, you'll also likely 
need to re-select the proper document they apply to.

Adrien

Re: [GNC] issues

[Adrien Monteleone]

Can you provide a screenshot of that error message? (attach at the end, 
*not* in-line, you may have to adjust your e-mail app settings for this)


What happens if you try to delete an account? (you say you cannot, note 
that is done from *within* GnuCash.)


App logs are stored with your data file, does your OS report an error 
when you try to delete them? Can you provide a screenshot of that error.


I think there is some mix-up here between what GnuCash does and general 
handling of your files. (managed by the operating system) But we can 
help you sort that out.

Adrien

Re: [GNC] Issues with Balance Sheet report in 4.2

[Christopher Lam]

The old venerable balance sheet (and many "classic" reports) are not
exactly well behaved when a subset of accounts, especially of varying
levels, is selected for reporting. The experimental and eguile reports may
behave better. Unless someone steps up and decodes the classic reports,
this is likely to remain unresolved for a long time.

Re: [GNC] Issues with Balance Sheet report in 4.2

[David Carlson]

So the fundamental issue seems to be that the report is not showing the
full account tree above the accounts that contain the desired data in the
same tree structure that you see in the Chart of Accounts.

Is this the first time to use this report for this purpose, or is it a case
that has changed from previous behavior, say in GnuCash release 3.x or
earlier?

You mentioned that if you select all accounts, the report is correct, but
when you try to omit unnecessary lines, some necessary lines disappear and
others seem to change level.

A brute force work-around might consist of producing a complete report and
using a spreadsheet to delete unnecessary lines.

Also, as Frank asked in the previous email, did you select the Owner
accounts when selecting accounts?  Also, are those accounts possibly marked
hidden or placeholder?

All of these questions are partly attempts to eliminate the possibility
that there truly is a bug in the report design, or, conversely, to identify
where a bug might lie.

Re: [GNC] Issues with Balance Sheet report in 4.2

[mike823]

It is more than the hierarchy. Subaccounts are missing on some levels - this
is the highest criticality.

Look at the pictures I've sent before. The report shows the Account Taxation
Class ( RRSP | TFSA ) but does not show the Account Owner. 

The report calculates the Cash Balance but it does not tell me to which
Account Owner that balance belongs.

Re: [GNC] Issues with Balance Sheet report in 4.2

[David Carlson]

Would it be fair to summarize the issue by saying that when some accounts
are not selected for the report it fails to retain the same display
hierarchy as displayed in the account tree?

What sort parameters are you using there?  I seem to recall that the
account tree may not sort correctly if sorted by account numbers, for
example.  Then the report might sort differently.

Re: [GNC] Issues with Balance Sheet report in 4.2

When all accounts are selected, the report works fine.

The thing is that I only need a few accounts, not all, in the report. 

The relevant "Chart of Accounts" looks like this:

Assets

Re: [GNC] Issues with Balance Sheet report in 4.2

[Adrien Monteleone]

I'd start with changing the Levels of Subaccounts from '6' to 'All'

Then make sure that Display > Include accounts with zero total balances 
is *checked*.


Then in Options > Accounts, select every single account. (you can select 
the main parent accounts and choose to include all sub/child-accounts)


Now, every single account should be visible.

If not, perhaps one or more of the missing accounts is marked as 
'hidden'. You'd have to select the missing accounts in the Chart of 
Accounts tab, click the Edit button and uncheck the 'hidden' checkbox. 
Then re-run the report with the above settings.

Adrien

Always easier to post screenshots, with appropriately placed smudges. Also
post screenshots of the report options.

The issues I have mentioned are present on default report options,
absolutely nothing customized.


a) CoA    The "Chart of Accounts"

b) Look, a "Balance Sheet" report is ALWAYS as of some specified date. 
So when you say present on default option, nothing customized, you mean 
you are only considering the report as of the default date "real time 
date when run". In other words, you shouldn't consider things like 
saying what actual date you want a "customization". There are other 
choices, like whether you want to see zero balance accounts, what 
subtotals you want, etc.


   In order for gnucash to (initially) produce the report to give you a 
chance to specify those things it has to use SOME choice. In this case 
"default" doesn't mean the choices you or anybody else would want in the 
actual report. The :effective date" is an obvious example. In the case 
of nesting levels, three was a reasonable MINIMUM value for nesting 
levels. Again, not "customizing" to increase that to what makes sense 
for YOUR CoA.


You didn't see where you specify nesting levels Report=>Options, under 
the Accounts tab "levels of sub accounts"   The number you choose for 
that is the nesting level (how many levels of nesting).  The CoA has a 
"tree" structure and the depth of a tree is its nesting level.

"Include accounts with zero balances" & "Omit zero balance figures" both
unchecked. It does not make any difference if I change them / any
combination checked - unchecked.

As Michael said check ALL report options particularly the ones on the
Display tab - you may have set it to not include accounts with zero total
balances or similar ?

I think you misunderstood me.

a) Start the Balance Sheet report (select it)

b) When the report appears, use Edit=>Report Options to open the pages 
of options. If you have never done this, go through that to see all of 
the options you are allowed to choose. Some basic ones you would 
normally always set. For example, for what date do you want it run? In 
this case, since your CoA has nesting deeper than three, you would be 
increasing that.


c) But do take the time so see ALL of the options available to you.

I also looked into the "Balance Sheet (eguile)" report as well and while this
one does indenting properly and shows all subaccount levels, it does not
allow account selection.

[mike823]

If you are referring to "Levels of Subaccounts" setting from Accounts options
tab, it is set to 6. The balances I am trying to report are usually one or
two levels lower.

Re: [GNC] Issues with Balance Sheet report in 4.2

[Michael or Penny Novack]

First question (before we look deeper)

To what level of nesting have you set for this report? We want to make 
sure you have set that high enough so that the levels of nesting you 
expect would be shown. I believe the default nesting level is three.


So ... confirm for us that you have used Edit => Report options to set 
the level of nesting high enough. Because if you have not done this, of 
course nesting would not show correctly.

Hi everyone,

I have noticed a couple of bugs in Balance Sheet report in GnuCash 4.2:

1.  some subaccounts seem to be missing randomly. Let's say that for an
subaccount of level 5, I would expect to see all accounts of higher level
above, like this:

account-of-level-0
  account-of-level-1
   account-of-level-2
account-of-level-3
 account-of-level-4  balance

Current behavior is that first / last are displayed but intermediate
accounts, 1 to 3, are being displayed somehow randomly and some of them
missing.

2. I would expect subaccounts of same level to be aligned the same. As an
example;

account-of-level-0
  account-of-level-1
   account1-of-level-2
account1-of-level-3
 account1-of-level-4  balance
   account2-of-level-2
account2-of-level-3
 account2-of-level-4  balance

Current behavior is something like that:

account-of-level-0
  account-of-level-1
   account1-of-level-2
account1-of-level-3
 account1-of-level-4  balance
 account2-of-level-2
  account2-of-level-3
   account2-of-level-4  balance
