John, To replay the log files you have to open one of the previous backup files identified as Adrien described them and then import one by one all logfiles with a timestamp forward from that backup file. See https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/basics-backup1.html David Cousens

Re: [GNC] Strange reconciliation behavior

Art, Are you using GnuCash V3.9 If you are please either revert to 3.8 or upgrade to the newly released 3.10 version which reverts changes in 3.9 if the following is causing your problem. The problem I encountered in 3.9 was that the starting balance did not include reconciled transactions

The file that ends in .gnucash is your data file. Also, that file name should generally not have a long string of numbers in it preceding the .gnucash. (this would be a date stamp) Such a named file will be a backup file not the main one. You can ‘replay’ the log files, but I’ve never used it

Although the Trading Accounts section and total are selected to be included by default, the accounts are not. When I run an Income Statement, they do not appear and are not included in my bottom line Profit/Loss net. If I want them to appear, I simply select them in the Options > Accounts tab.

Re: [GNC] Strange reconciliation behavior

There is a big discussion going on in the developer arena about what is wrong with the reconciliation process in release 3.9 I suspect that you may being an artifact of that. They have released 3.10 in an attempt to fix that, but if you are conservative you may want to revert to 3.8 instead.

[GNC] Strange reconciliation behavior

Strange to me, anyway. I have a long-closed U.S. mutual fund account (call it ABCDX) that was never reconciled since I started using GnuCash a year ago. Now I want to reconcile it, and I'm tackling it year-by-year. I reconciled the first year closing balance, 5,898.936 shares, without issue.

[GNC] After a long hiatus I'm trying to restart using GNC for my accounting/tax needs. I have some old GNC files, but can't open them correctly.

I had tediously entered in my checking account transactions, into a 2016 file, save it with the ‘log’ files, etc. but now when I open Gnucash, I only see a 2018 file, which I only had a few entries, I tried ‘importing’ from *.log, but that only did one limited thing, resulting in ‘orphan’

[GNC] Which file contains the account name map for the CSV import tool?

I'd like to work on a gnucash file on a new machine. I'd like to transfer the account name map that is used by the CSV import tool (see the bullet "Match Import and GnuCash accounts") from the old machine to the new machine. Is this mapping stored in a file that I can transfer to the new machine?

Re: [GNC] Keeping Imported Transactions from Overwriting Data?

Christopher, Unfortunately, my use model no longer includes any imports, whether QIF, OFX, or csv-- in part because the work of importing was greater than simply entering in the transactions myself, and in part because my institutions blocked or obscured these features. So, I won't be able to

David please check out https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797678. The importer *can* be taught to not overwrite existing data. There are win32 builds; do try a master release. More features are upcoming, and all need beta testing. On Sun, 12 Apr 2020, 10:21 pm D. via gnucash-user, wrote:
