Sorry, I did try those commands but I'm not certain it worked as I do see: Tests succeeded but one dependency not OK (Test::Perl::Critic) I am have not installed another Perl version so it must be using the system Perl. When I launch GnuCash the "Get Quotes" button is still inactive for me. I

Hello all. This may have already been covered, but after the death of Nabble I can't see how to do searches throughout the archive. I need to produce accounting reports in a different language (French), but I would prefer to use a single installation of Gnucash (all my other sets of books are

It’s working, using the system perl. When I started to tinker, I copies the gnc-* binaries from Contents/Resources/bin to my local directory, so that I could run them without having to delve into GnuCash.app. I renamed that bin to bin~, and forgot about it. Your mention of

That's what "Perl from other sources may or may not work and will regardless require modifying Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/etc/gnucash/environment to set the perl path and @INC so that GnuCash can find the right F::Q. If you insist on that you're on your own." is about. The issue is that

Glad you're putting this into a narrative. In the past, I've worked on the docs, on both Mac and Windows environments. If I* can do it, it's most certainly possible! David * Geert and other long term devs can vouch for my high level of ineptitude regarding the development tools.

Re: [GNC] Comenity Bank OFX Exports

2021-08-20 Thread David Carlson
Update on Comenity Petco imports: They do offer a CSV-like export option but it turns out that their version makes every value positive and has another column assigning words like payment, charge, interest and a few others to those values, so it either requires some pre-processing or

Geert, thank you. With that pretty simple explanation I completely understand it. I've rolled all that together ordering the split description lines the same as the input form and added an example based on the Tutorial and Concepts Guide. David T, I'm with you on contributing but iirc the

As an aside, the documentation discrepancies between the Help and the Guide that flywire noted are due to the differing preferences of the documentarians behind the files. The person who worked assiduously to document the CSV importer prefers the Help files, and so placed his text there.

Doesn’t work for me. Note: I’m assuming that the message Finance::Quote not installed properly, when Add is invoked in the security editor, means that it’s not installed properly. I depend a lot on MacPorts. I’ve tried forcing the installation with MacPorts perl 5.34 foremost in my path, and

Re: [GNC] Multi-split CSV Import

2021-08-20 Thread Geert Janssens
Multisplit is a gnucash specific variant of a csv file. In short it's csv in which certain fields can be left empty if they are the same on consecutive rows. This avoids having to repeat transaction specific data for each split of a transaction. Or put differently, the format expects full

CSV Import is documented in https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-help/trans-import.html#trans-import-csv In a lot more detail than the Guide and Concepts Manual (which is hardly more than a list of headings). The only dataset demonstrated is a screenshot in Figure 6.5. The CSV Import Preview
