It may be doing what I'm doing and making the date of the closing price as the day the script is run. I don't run it using cron. I run it manually and if I forget a day I don't worry about it. I just run one of these two commands from the terminal. getquotes -y    <--   gets the prices from

I am not sufficiently comfortable with BASH, Chron jobs, etc to be willing to set up an outside utility to do that. I manually download prices inside the GnuCash price database using Yahoo as JSON as the source. If I forget to do it in the late evening I sometimes try to do it in the morning

I'm not sure what you are using to updated the your prices but I wrote a python script & a bash script that get the quotes and put them into a csv file for importing into GNUCash and I don't have that date issue. I run the scrips in the evening when the markets are closed. On 4/23/21 8:59 PM,

I noticed recently that if I download mutual fund prices after about 7 AM central daylight time the prices are saved in GnuCash with todays date even though they are still yesterday's closing NAV until sometime after the markets close. To reliably get the correct price posted on the correct date

I agree that having the info available is useful; I sincerely doubt that an appendix in the Guide is the appropriate place for that info, however. Original Message From: David Carlson Sent: Fri Apr 23 19:24:44 EDT 2021 To: "Frank H. Ellenberger" Cc: "D." , Gnucash Users

OK. I do think that the description of the check format file in particular should be put where it makes the most sense rather than being deleted. Granted, not many users print checks any more, but IIRC there was a question quite recently about that on this maillist. On Fri, Apr 23, 2021 at 5:14

Yes David, appendix C. I am challenged that way. Frank: there isn't really any content in appendix C, except this outdated listing. Why not move it to the wiki, where someone (like the OP) could actually make changes? Original Message From: David Carlson Sent: Fri Apr 23

Right, David, appendix C is correct. But seen from a distant, more formal point, C and D contain technical details, which belong in the appendix of the manual (help) instead of a tutorial Regards Frank Am 23.04.21 um 23:38 schrieb David Carlson: > Forgive me, I am confused. I just looked at

Hello Dale, it seems most of the points are based on the loss of your previous settings. The Gnome devs tricked us here by offering a platform 40 as successor of 3.38. You can think, 40 is the successor of 38, that should be a minor ungrade. But in fact it goes from 3.x to 40, a major jump with

My install was upgraded this week (flathub) from gnucash 4.4 to 4.5 on Linux Mint 20. I think some of these have been reported by others. 1. First gnucash opened as though I was a new user and needed a new account setup. I was able to stop this and get to the file menu and my last saved version.
