Hi, I'm a new gnucash user running on macOS Mojave. I've installed gnucash and run the finance quotes updater app. When I try to "Get Quotes", gnucash returns an error message saying > There was a system error when retrieving the price quotes When running the finance quotes updater app it

[GNC] Mnemonics Tip for GnuCash 3 users

GnuCash 3 uses GTK3. GTK Mnemonics are underlined characters in a label, used for keyboard navigation. Examples of labels which may include a mnemonic are the text on a button, the label of a field, and the text in a menu line. The mnemonic is activated by pressing the mnenomic activator key (Alt

Re: [GNC] OFX Importer Matching: too many false positives in matching with repeated transactions

Milan, The reconcile and import matcher windows use different code even though there are some similarities in identifying matching transactions. Which version of the matching are you using in the importer (see Edit->Preferences-Online Banking and the bayesian matching checkbox)? The importer

Re: [GNC] Preferences for latest version

No, we moved to Gtk3 because WebKitGtk no longer supports Gtk2 and we were getting dropped from major distros for using an old version of WebKitGtk. Regards, John Ralls > On Oct 20, 2018, at 1:27 PM, Adrien Monteleone > wrote: > > Yes, but as I noted, the Accounts page is not designed in a

Re: [GNC] Preferences for latest version

Yes, but as I noted, the Accounts page is not designed in a way that you can target the individual lines using those (even/odd) pseudo selectors. It is also unknown if Gnome even implemented pseudo selectors at all for Gtk3. (I think I’ve tried some on other elements and they did not work) The

Re: [GNC] Time zone workaround?

A better idea would be to start GnuCash with `TZ=EST5EDT gnucash`. I think the simplest way to address the different timezone problem is to change the XML backend to always store the time in UTC like the SQL backend does. A time with a TZ mark is really UTC anyway, and internally all timestamps

Re: [GNC] Time zone workaround?

Thanks, that's a good idea. I'll take that approach in the meantime. Long term, is this issue scheduled to be fixed in a future release? Would some level of financial support help make that happen? I imagine this is an issue for other geographically distributed companies. Thanks, Clayton On

[GNC] MySQL on GCP

I wanted to share something quickly and ask a question at the same time. I've been using gnucash since ~ 2001-2002 for my personal finances. I was "closing" and starting fresh every year until 2006 at which point I just started accumulated into the same file. So I currently have data in a single

Re: [GNC] Time zone workaround?

Possibly create a separate user account on the computer just for using GnuCash and set it to EST — not convenient, but certainly avoiding confusion. Consider setting a different screen background so you know at a glance which user you are working with. Regards, Adrien > On Oct 20, 2018, at

[GNC] Time zone workaround?

Hi All, I recently joined a company that uses GnuCash and have been enjoying learning the application. We are a distributed company and do all business in EST, while I reside in MST. I know there is a bug in GnuCash where if I save a file in my timezone it overrides the transaction date and time

Re: [GNC] Preferences for latest version

Thank you so much for your help Adrien.  Very much appreciated! It does seem rather strange to step backward in display when upgrading a program!  I would stick to the older version (with it's zebra striping on the account tree LOL!) but for some strange reason the search function just

Re: [GNC] Preferences for latest version

Jill, Unfortunately, this does not appear to be possible at the present time. You can only target the entire background, not individual lines for zebra striping. I did find a possibility of having grid lines, but this will need to be done via code by the developers. I’d suggest filing a bug

Re: [GNC] Unable to retrieve quotes for these items:, CURRENCY:EUR

Ah, sorry, that wasn’t obvious to me. Try running GnuCash with ‘--log gnc.scm=debug’ instead of ‘--debug’. That should produce a listing of each price retrieved and its values as price-quotes.scm processes them and may offer a clue about the problem. Regards, John Ralls > On Oct 20, 2018, at

[GNC] Thanks

Thank you for a great product. I have been using GnuCash for over 12 years and I have never been happier with any other financial software for my home or business. I have just donated to the project. PS: I am happy to see the amounts are back next to the checkboxes in the reconciliation

No solution. Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. The path (Edit / Preferences / General / Path head for Transaction Association Files) is to a folder on a mapped network drive. The preference is ignored; I am simply provided with a list of files in Recent. The quickest work-around is to select a file in the
