Re: [GNC] Third party OFX/CVS providers

Tom, Not sure if Python is on the table or not but it looks simple to go from PDF to CSV format programmatically in Python (I un-learned Perl in 2010's and learned Python in place). This will do away with needing very fine external programs likes of Ghostscript and/or or iText7. Take a

Re: [GNC] Request for two new features in GnuCash

Both of these are already possible. I maintain two GnuCash files, and most often run both of them at the same time with two different instances of GnuCash. You just have to tell it which file to open, either by using “File/Open” or with a command line argument. I do this on a Mac with

Eric, Both of those situations should be easy to deal with. I have three Gnucash files, one personal and two for organizations. Gnucash opens with the last one I used. I can switch to one of the others from the items listed at the bottom of the File menu. All transactions can have any

[GNC] Request for two new features in GnuCash

As I am getting more of my accounts completely into GnuCash I find the need for two things: The first is the ability to have two separate (at least) GnuCash file systems: one for my business and one for personal. My business is an LLC, and one legal requirement for that is there is no

Re: [GNC] Third party OFX/CVS providers

The other great tool for processing pdfs is PDFBox. It’s a java jar file, so you need to have a reasonably recent JVM installed. https://pdfbox.apache.org/ I’m still using version2. Here are the commandline tools. https://pdfbox.apache.org/2.0/commandline.html

First of all, Impish is already EOL. You will need to use a flavor of 22.04 LTS for the following. The documentation for how to build GnuCash is confusing and not all in one place. The following begins with a fresh install of Lubuntu 22.04 LTS. I use Vagrant so that everything is deterministically
