Re: [GNC] House renovation Expense or Asset?
Thank you for your responses. At this stage there are no taxation issues, such as capital gains, to take into account as I'm living in S.E. Asia. I am just looking at a simplified way of recording all expenses incurred in connection with the renovation. I have an asset parent account set up as "House" and a sub-account to that as "Renovation". I also have an expense account as "Home Repair". My thoughts are that anything spent on Renovation adds to the asset and is technically not an expense to be recorded as Home Repair? Am I correct on this?

[GNC] House renovation Expense or Asset?
Hopefully I've posted this query in the right area - if not, please accept my apologies. My quandary is that, my recently purchased house, has an uncompleted extension. I have now contracted to have this extension finished. I am unsure how to record the expenses incurred in GNUcash. I assume that when all the construction is finished, the total cost could be assumed to be treated as an asset increase to the value of the house? In this instance, would all additional expenses occurring during construction be treated as a debit on my bank account but a credit as an asset increase? I would really appreciate some advice from any of the many knowledgeable users on this forum.

[GNC] My bad
Hi all, On 29/06/2018 I backed up my GNU file. I did some editing, entering additional transactions and reconciliations on the 30th, and today, without realizing that GNUcash had opened up my backup file instead. Is it possible to rename the now up-to-date backup file to the normal file I use, if so must it's log file also be renamed or can I open the backup file and do a "save as", specifying the normal file name, without screwing up anything.

How to account for a house purchase
Hi all, Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction on how to account for a house purchase in GNUCash. I have contracted to buy a house and have paid a 10% deposit from my bank account, with the remainder becoming due within 2 months. I understand that the deposit amount is a debit against my bank account but I have no idea what the corresponding double-entry should be. I assume when this purchase is completed it will be an asset?

Hi all, I note that some years ago there was quite some discussion about the inability to left-align text in the Transfer column of GnuCash.

Re: [GNC] Forward payments
My thanks to all respondents. It is finally making sense to my befuddled brain. However I have one more spanner in the works. I had already transferred funds from my Current Assets:Bank account to Expenses:Staff. My Bank account has been reconciled. What, if any, process is available to transfer the forward payment funds from Expenses:Staff to the newly created Current Assets:Forward Payment Credit account without messing things up, or would I need to delete the original transfer and re-enter it to reflect the new process?

Re: [GNC] Forward payments
Thank you for your patience Yes, I guess, in this instance, it could be considered as a type of temporary loan for her to pay the bills. However, my thoughts are, that if I change the current classification of Expenses:Staff to Current Assets:Staff, when I pay her salary I'm decreasing an Asset (Bank Account) but would also be needing to decrease another asset account Current Assets:Staff. Am I wrong in assuming that this cannot be done? By "transferred from savings to Staff Account" I meant when salary payment is made (usually in cash) it is from my Current Assets:Bank Account:Cash in Wallet with the offsetting account being Expense:Staff Account" Cheers On Thu, Jun 28, 2018 at 2:57 PM, Maf.

[GNC] Forward payments
Hi all, Hopefully someone can advise me how to treat the following problem which stumps me. I am using GNUcash 2.6.18 on Windows 10. I shall be away for several months and have transferred credit from my Savings account to my Staff account with a lump sum amount for her to pay her Salary, Electricity, Pool chemicals, Internet access etc, on the due date. All these are set up as expense accounts. All accounts, apart from her Salary and Internet access, are variable in amount and payment date. I assume that I have to split the lump sum to the various accounts as they are paid or is there some other method? I also need to take into account that the payment I've made to the Staff account may be too small or too large. Any enlightenment to a personally perplexing problem would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I only use GNUcash for my personal information and does not have any taxation or other legal requirement.

Re: [GNC] Forward payments
Thank you for your quick response. My Staff account is set up as an Expense not as an Asset. In this particular case would I need to set up a new account Current Assets:Staff - as a child account under Current Assets? Cheers On Thu, Jun 28, 2018 at 2:08 PM, Maf.

Re: [GNC] I can't see above the current widow
Hi Jonathan, For the record, I'm using Gnucash V 3.5+(2019-03-30) and Windows 10 V10.0.17134 Build 17134. I have attempted to duplicate your problem, with no result. I can scroll fully up and down with the scroll wheel on the scroll bar, and also when placed inside the body of all the registers. Dragging the scroll bar up and down with the mouse also works for me as do the arrow keys, both on the keyboard and the number pad. with the NumLock off. I may be way off base, but suspect more of an OS or hardware problem then something to do with Gnucash.

Re: [GNC] Edit Cut and Copy greyed out
No John, v 3.7 has been going fine ever since I installed it a few days after it was released as an update from 3.6. I suspect it may have something to do with the slew of Windows updates lately but I cannot specifically put my finger on anything as Cut and Copy works OK on all other apps.

Re: [GNC] Edit Cut and Copy greyed out
Thank you David, It is a simple split for interest I receive once a month and is credited to my bank account - nothing complex. As I mentioned earlier, *Duplicate* works perfectly well, which I hadn't used before, has less clicks and appears more efficient, so no drama. However it intrigues me why this problem should suddenly occur and I shall try to ferret out it's cause starting with setting up a test account with a couple of transactions to see if the problem remains.

Re: [GNC] Edit Cut and Copy greyed out
A bit further to my mystery - the first time I open a register, and the blank line on the bottom, with just the current date, is highlighted by default, *Cut *and *Copy *are active and I can in fact use them, however if I highlight a line with transactions, *Cut *and *Copy *are greyed out. In all instances *Paste *is available? Any ideas welcome.

Re: [GNC] Edit Cut and Copy greyed out
Thanks Geert, My understanding now is that 3.7 will not *Copy* or *Cut* a complete transaction line whereas previous versions did. A plus I got out of this is that *Duplicate* is a more efficient method for my needs.

Re: [GNC] Edit Cut and Copy greyed out
OMG, a light bulb moment! My sincere apologies to everyone for wasting their time on a non-existent problem. *Of course* I had been using TRANSACTION Copy/Cut and Paste successfully not EDIT Copy/Cut and Paste. I can only put this down to my rapidly declining brain cells over the years. Once again, thank you all for your patience and the developers for a great and very useful program.

[GNC] New version does not retain resized columns
Hi all, Just installed GnuCash 3.906 on Windows 10 and find that it doesn't retain the accounts column widths. I set the widths by double clicking each column's header and then pulling the left most Transfer column limiter to the left and let it snap back. This it has the desired effect of resizing the columns so that all digits appear but when I close and open the account it has reverted back to the old widths. Any clues please?

Re: [GNC] Unhide column
Hi Alan, I have a similar setup, though I only use Avast for anti-virus protection. Instead I use the Comodo free firewall and have the Windows 10 firewall disabled. At times Windows security shows a message that neither firewall is active though Task Manager shows that Comodo is running, but I have never had the Windows firewall start automatically regardless. The message gives the option to start either firewall and I specify Comodo though it is already active. and The Windows firewall remains inactive. I agree that there is a possible Windows bug here that they are not interested in fixing.

Re: [GNC] entry point error after recent automatic windows 10 update
Sorry to hear that. Does GnuCash actually become available? If so, maybe try to right-click on the file and then select "Open" instead of double-clicking it . Also temporarily disable any anti-virus you may have installed ( some will not allow unknown executables to run). If none of this works, I would have to assume that the installation is corrupt and would need a fresh download and installation. Do you get any error messages at all?

Have you tried Greg's suggestion? An easy way to check if GnuCash starts from the command, copy and paste the following into the Windows 10 search box (the magnifying glass icon on the bottom left of your screen) "C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnucash.exe" (without the quotes). This will bring up the GnuCash executable. which if you double-click on it will start GnuCash - or not.

[GNC] How to treat accommodation security deposit
Hi all, Using Windows 10 Home GC 4.2 I anticipate renting a property for 1 month and will pay the rental up front plus a security deposit amount which will be returned at the finish of the rental period. I am totally in the dark how to approach this. Do I need some kind of split? The rental expense is a straight forward expense, but how do I input the security deposit - I tried it as an asset but that didn't work and doesn't seem right. Various other things i tried usually came up with an Imbalance entry. I would really appreciate some guidance on this.

Re: [GNC] Strange behaviour
Yes, same problem here on Windows 10 Home with Gnucash 4.2. I used to just copy and paste a previous entry, alter the amount as required, and then commit. However this now causes CNC to completely shut down, but I find if I commit the wrong amount and then alter it, things are fine.

Re: [GNC] Strange behaviour
Seems that the comma separator is the culprit here if it is left in when committing the altered amount. In addition I find that if I use the backspace key to try to alter a number before committing, GnuCash shuts down immediately, however using the backspace to delete the comma separator works fine. Bit more digging to do. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email_source=link_campaign=sig-email_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email_source=link_campaign=sig-email_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Tue, Nov 17, 2020 at 10:47 AM wrote: > Tony -- just curious -- this seems very similar to the thousand separator > issue of entries over $1,000 when you include the thousands separator > (comma).

Re: [GNC] How to treat accommodation security deposit
Thanks Geoff, I've never been able to get my head around "splits" but your method seems straightforward - sort of 樂. I'll give it a shot. As I have no need for anything official, I guess I can always just manually enter the three entries separately.

[GNC] Wrong numeric separators in new file
Hi All, On Windows 10 and Gnucash 4.4 After a catastrophic failure of my laptop, which also took out my external backup drive, I found a 2 year old backup on another drive. The data loss is not a huge problem as it is solely for my own use. I closed that old file and used it to create a new file hierarchy with every account in the new file showing zero - all good. However I notice when entering amounts now that the thousands separator is a decimal point and the decimal point is a comma e.g. $10.000.000,00. I've dug around some but haven't been able to find where I can change the separators. Any advice is much appreciated Cheers -- *Tony Vanson* *The older I get,* *the better I was* <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email_source=link_campaign=sig-email_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email_source=link_campaign=sig-email_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

[GNC] Accounting for a pre-paid electronic toll card
I'm hoping that someone on this list can aid my befuddled brain to get to grips with my problem. The tolling system here is not the automated ones I'm used to. Here one needs to obtain an electronic card and, once done, must be charged with a cash value prior to travelling and topped up with cash on a regular basis. My question is what category is this card and how do I treat additions and subtractions from it? I initially thought it might be treated as a credit card but the way it operates it's obviously not.

[GNC] Customizing appearance of parent accounts only in Accounts tree
Hi all, I'm using Windows 11 and GNUcash 5.4 I'm wondering if there is an easy possibility of highlighting parent accounts only, by text size, bolding and/or coloring, to make them stand out when scrolling the accounts tree? *Tony Vanson* *The older I get,* *the better I was* ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Customizing appearance of parent accounts only in Accounts tree
Thanks for your answer, but no, basically I just wanted to highlight the Parent account only(Placeholder mostly) by a larger font size and bolded in black.
