Re: Announcing GnuCash Android v1.4.0-beta1
Hello Ngewi, I installed v1.4.0-beta1 on my Kindle HDX 8.9, and imported a large (approx 21 Mb) GnuCash XML file. I have not had a lot of time to look play with it yet, but all accounts and transactions appear to have imported correctly. Well done. You have created a very useful Android addition to the GnuCash environment. Please continue to make the .apk file available for those of us who side load into Kindle tablets.

Re: Announcing GnuCash Android v1.4.0-beta1
Hello Ngewi, Some early transaction importing observations: 1. Large files import successfully. 2. All accounts are created successfully. 3. All transactions up to and including today's date import successfully. 4. Transaction account, category and amount are imported successfully. 4. Any transaction with a future date DOES NOT import. 5. The notes fields DO NOT import successfully - this field is blank in all transactions in the Android version. 6. The number field DOES NOT import. 7. The reconciliation status field DOES NOT import. It's a pretty good first effort in importing transactions. With a few improvements, it will be very good! My bug fix priorities would be the (1) memo field, then (2) future dated transactions, then (3) the number field, and, finally the (4) the reconciliation status filed. I will keep testing the imported data.

Re: Release 2.5.3 crashes randomly
David, I agree with John's caution about old new registers. I am running Windows 8, and have been using the GnuCash unstable 2.5.3 builds extensively. I usually run the latest nightly build, and enter transactions daily. I do not recall having a crash over the last month. My experience is that 2.5.3 is usually stable. Very occasionally, a new nightly build just won't run. I agree with Derek that crashes are to be expected with this unstable branch, and I am comfortable with that. However, I am not seeing any crashes. Mixing old new registers?

Re: Where can I find the portable version of Gnucash 2.4.0
James, I frequently use GnuCash from my USB key too. The PortableApps.com people do a really good job, but as you have stated, have not released GnuCash 2.4.0 yet. I am sure that they will at some stage. I use X-GnuCash 2.4.0 which you can download from www.winpenpack.com It is stable, and is a very good portable implementation which will play well with your PortableApps.com menu. I have used their 2.3.x beta series for many months, and am now very happy with their 2.4.0 portable version. If you are using John Haller's PortableApps.com menu, then simply create a X-GnuCash subdirectory in the PortableApps directory, and extract the winpenpack zipped X-GnuCash_2.4.0_rev11.zip file into it. When you refresh of load the menu, X-GnuCash will appear in the menu. It remembers all settings, and will run very happily in portable mode allowing you to take GnuCash on the road and run on multiple machines. If you want to run without the PortableApps.com menu or any other portable launcher menu app - then just create the X-GnuCash directory wherever you want to put it, and extract the x-GnuCash_2.4.0_rev11.zip into it. To run it, you simply run the toip level directory X-GnuCash.exe file. I am a fan of the PortableApps.com menu, so that is my preferred method to launch my various portable applications.

GNUCASH WINDOWS - PROBLEM SOLUTION
Dear Dev's, THE ENVIRONMENT: Windows Vista, recent GnuCash Windows nightly build (particular build does not seem to be important). THE PROBLEM: From time to time in the forums someone will post the GnuCash will not get past the splash screen issue. It seems to come up with some replies signalling some sort of DLL or software conflict issue. Well, I came across it myself recently, and no amount of searching the forums, reinstalling, copying a range or related directories, and anything else I could think of solved the problem. Even a WinPenPack portable GnuCash installation in C:\Programs could not get me a working GnuCash environment. However, my USB key portable WinPenPack version still ran happily (up to and including the most recent nightly build). THE ISSUE: I don't really know, except to say that I frequently install and uninstall a variety of open source freeware software. I religiously use Glary Utilities and CCleaner to keep the registry clean defragged. I have good anti virus software. I have run GnuCash for a long time, but must have broken it recently by leaving some incompatible DLL's somewhere on the PC that GnuCash picks up before the good, clean stuff it installs itself. I do not take RegShots every time I install something new, nor do I install trial software into a VM - perhaps I should. I do not run GnuCash after every new software installation to check it still runs. It should not be that fragile. THE QUESTION: Has anyone had a good look at how a good GnuCash installation can go bad? I am happy to attempt to break a GnuCash installation on one of my PC's to see if there is anything we can learn that may make future versions more robust. Is anyone able to suggest where there may be some weaknesses in the the current Windows implementation, or where there is a liklihood that GnuCash DLL's may be substituted by DLL's in other directories on the PC? THE WORK AROUND: Scorched earth! I formatted my PC and installed Windows 7 on my Visa box. Extreme? Yes. I just could not get GnuCash to work any other way. I have not had to do this to get any other important application (for me) to run in years, if ever. GnuCash is running fine now on Windows 7. I will be vigilant to try to identify how it breaks, should I have the same situation sometime in the future. Does anyone have any suggestions of areas to investigate? I know I should be more careful with my PC environment if I don't want to break it in future.

Wiill Recent Tabs Patch be Reverted Before 2.3.11 Released?
As previously posted, tab labels broke again with Windows nightly build r18883. I have followed the email traffic on this issue, and understand that the reason for this is being investigated in the Windows environment. IMHO this feature should be reverted until a fix is found. It has fundamentally broken the Windows nightly build version again since r18883. Checked Windows nightly build r18908, and tabs still not displaying a label. I have previously posted a bug report on this when it originally broke. Is the correct etiquette to update my earlier bug report to reflect the bug is back?

Please back out r18428 - editable 2nd date field
The has been some discussion in the user forum at http://n4.nabble.com/New-Transaction-field-in-the-register-td1476778.html#a1476778 about patch r18428. IMHO this patch is particularly bad and should be removed for two reasons. Firstly, in double line register display mode, the two dates displayed for each transaction produces an extremely confusing display to the user. It is not at all obvious what the second date's purpose is - and there is no option to disable it. Secondly, the editable second date filed allows manipulation of the underlying transaction data. GUI manipulation of transaction creation date data surely sets a dangerous precedent. I understand the patch writer James Raehl was seeking some additional transaction functionality - but the result is a cluttered and confusing register, with no option to turn off the second date filed. I believe that it harms the users experience of the interface rather than enhancing it. Can this patch be backed out until such time there is an option provided to disable it? I believe that the default position is that the option should be turned off. Am I alone in thinking that the register in double line mode now looks less user friendly?
