So I've discovered that something about those nested command processors isn't working the way it did in earlier versions of Windows. Or maybe there's a typo I'm just not seeing. In any case, some experimentation that a simple batch file works fine (I called mine GnuStart.bat). c: cd c:\users\publi

Hi! I just started using v4.6 on a new machine running windows 10. For various reasons, despite being in Norway, I prefer having US language on my main computer, including date formats. However, I prefer having numbers on gnucash being in Norwegian format. Is there any way to run gnucash in Norwe

I'm afraid my notes are not generic enough for that.  My notes are literally the name and location of the purchase, which could be any shop in any city or any website. Generally, the bank statement will have good enough information, but there are a lot of locations that use Square, for instance

I am sure the accountants would not like the idea, but it opens the subject of having different accounts in different currencies.  This seems less revolutionary in an international commerce world, like having a London account in Pounds Sterling.  You could buy with any account in the currency of

I've established a bit of a different workflow. I "convert" what would have been the note into a very specific sub-account so that no matter what the note's information doesn't get lost. For example if I paid for a gift via check for xyz then I will create a sub account of xyz under gifts (Expenses

Neat!  I used to have that issue, but then that particular bank discontinued one of the account types AND stopped offering OFX downloads.  Never thought to consider it a bug or even a feature request. I also had issues where two identical transfers wouldn't match properly (as described early i

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'd be interested in seeing that bug if you want to drop a link / bug number.  I filed a new bug (798296) for the regression I'm experiencing since the previously mentioned bug was for a different field.  In my case, I think NOT importing the files at all and just re

I know it is an extra step, but for a work-around I manually adjust the existing transaction during the import so I know which new one(s) match it. Then I accept the incoming transaction as new. Finally, as a post processing step i manually merge the text that i want to keep into one and delete

Regarding your search: I get results from: https://www.google.com/search?q=franking+site%3Agnucash.org I'm not sure why Google.ca would have different results, or whether my broader site designation draws in more. Mind you, they're older than the previous year, but this discussion has occurred.

Thanks Chris, that helps me understand it a bit more but a little differently. I see Franking Credits as Income. Maybe someone with a formal accountancy background has an opinion. So, Income account has Franked, Unfranked (from Bank) and Franking Credit (from Asset). I'm not sure how taxes should
