[GNC-dev] Use trading accounts only for currency conversion

As I've written in https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797227: I suspect that the purpose of the trading accounts was to account for the loss/gain in currency conversion (only). Not sure if applying the trading accounts for other commodities makes sense. These should be accounted for through

David, that's a very elaborate explanation. I'm sure there will be enough information once you are through with testing. So far our findings match. One thing I'd like to note, David Cousens wrote > Date,Transaction ID,Number,Description,Notes,Commodity/Currency,Void > Reason,Action,Memo,Full

Re: [GNC-dev] Transactions vs Splits

OK, now I see that I'll need to use the Multi-split option always, to cover for the eventual real multi-split in the source. So, I'll be focusing on that option. The good news is, when multi-split is selected, the Transaction ID field becomes available for mapping. That helps a lot as the matcher

Re: [GNC-dev] Transactions vs Splits

Thanks a lot, David. I have completely missed that checkbox. Will try it out. Also, to comment on your reference to single- vs multi-split import. I saw the Transfer Account field available and decided to use it from the start. That way I don't need two splits for simple transactions, meaning

[GNC-dev] Transactions vs Splits

What is meant by "multiline" in this case? I've tried importing a CSV file with multiple records and it seems to be going fine. However, I'd like to keep the split structure in place but am not sure if that is possible. Currently I create rows for each split in a transaction and so it makes sense

Re: [GNC-dev] CSV Import Format

Thanks, David. I can confirm that a multi-currency transfer uses the same amount on both sides. I did not check the Trading Accounts but assume that works just fine. Reading your document gave me a few ideas, however. I might try sending both Deposit and Withdrawal columns together. Or

Re: [GNC-dev] CSV Import Format

A brief update from my side, as well. I've spent a few hours adding code to my export library and CSV generator. At first, I've exported the tranfers and that seemed to have gone well. However, as in my test file I had at least four different currencies, I switched back to simple transactions.

Re: [GNC-dev] CSV Import Format

Thanks a lot for this useful info, David. I'll keep in mind the possible issues with transfers, multiple accounts, and currencies during this exercise. Once I am happy with the code, I'll probably add my findings to the wiki. In the meantime I'll be on the lookout for the results you get with the

Re: [GNC-dev] CSV Import Format

Oh, I wrote too soon. Only now, that I have some .csv output, do I see the new screen for mapping the CSV fields. Wow, this should be enough to create any type of custom mapping so the CSV field order doesn't really matter as long as all the useful values are there. Cheers for that rewrite!

Hi, everyone, Could you recommend a place that contains the current description of the optimal CSV format for smooth import into GnuCash? Or perhaps just a few tips? So far I've been importing .qif files from the Android app and I was wondering if importing .csv files would be easier with the

Re: [GNC-dev] AppImage

Someone actually created an AppImage repo for GnuCash at https://github.com/ecmu/gnucash.AppImage It seems pretty fresh. The release available there is 3.4. The title says "Continuous Build", and it builds to the latest (.tar.gz) released sources. It looks a bit funny, probably minor GTK issues.

Thanks a lot for the link, Geert. Unfortunately, I think the root of the problem is this: "If given a choice between customization and more, better apps, I’m confident the majority of people would prefer the latter." Well, I'm fairly confident that it is exactly the opposite. Just looking at

Ah, that's from the period before I was born, then. :) Thanks for the pointers! I found out some of that in the course of the night. These packages are installed but the trick is that pywebview does not (yet) support WebKit2. In the meantime, I'll be using the Qt5 version. The more I learn about
