I follow about 20 mailing lists and gnucash-users is the only one having
prefix.

For those which do not want or can't use Gmane, they ca filter either
locally or at the server level by using List-ID, so I simply do not see
the reason for this poor-man's filtering...

Well I can describe how I do it.

Not different months in my case, but consecutive years, because that is 
how non-profits usually present their annual statements. I have gnucash 
produce the (raw) reports for the two periods and export those << well 
actually I produce just the reports for the currently ending period and 
export those because I did the previous ones last time.


I then bring this data into a document using my favorite editor. I 
remove extraneous data (detail levels kept for historical reasons or 
needed to prepare governmental filings but of no interest to the board), 
realign for differences in what accounts present in the two periods, 
pretty print changing fonts, font sizes, etc., and add any necessary 
annotations to explain anything unusual. Also add any fixed text 
describing principles used << for example, what was the amount the 
organization chose to be the minimum amount for fixed assets, 
depreciation schedule, etc.  the boards would know these things but 
non-profit financial reports are supposed to be open to the public so 
explanations in order >>


For the interim reports (quarterly for the organizations I keep books) 
not two side by side, just the current quarter, but the same general 
method.


Asking the accounting package to incorporate the full power of a general 
purpose editor is silly, unnecessary, since good editors already exist. 
And this is the opinion of somebody like myself who used to make my 
living designing/writing financial system software. A few hundred 
thousand lines of code in my day, and since able to at least read LISP, 
would have been a short learning curve to have written custom reports in 
Scheme.

Re: [GNC] find AND REPLACE?

 Pardon a naive question from a newbie.
I noted that I can save my .gnucash file into .xml file which I can edit with a

ways.
Can anybody tell me what are the pros and cons for such a change?

Re: [GNC] find AND REPLACE?

[David Carlson]

The simplest answer is:

1.  it is incredibly easy to break the file so that GnuCash cannot read it.

2.  A large part of the file is obfuscated by using tokens instead clear
text so cross references are really difficult to follow.

I do get the general idea of having a news "feed", and I completely
agree on the usefulness of feed/news files. If I'm not mistaken Mailman
3 with HyperKitty combination keeps the mailing list functionality but
also provides a forum-like interface, so in this combination there would
be no need for the feed/news file. But if we do resort to using such
files, it's best (and more secure for the end-user) to do so using the
Atom feed/news/aggregation standard instead of RSS, and also make it so
that the full content appears in the items, not just a "This is a long
text example... cut" body.

[GNC] Online Banking

[Steve Cohen]

In GnuCash 3.0, I tried to enable online banking in accessing
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Setting_up_OFXDirectConnect_in_GnuCash_2

(I had previous made an unsuccessful attempt to do this with 2.6.x).

The first thing I found was that after launching Tools --> Online
Banking Setup, I got a popup window that would not close.

Possibly something is not set up right.

I see the following:

> GnuCash now uses AqBanking as a means to handle connections to financial 
> institutions. GnuCash must be configured using --enable-hbci and --enable-ofx 
> in order for OFXDirectConnect to be available. Note: --enable-hbci is really

> DirectConnect, which is why you need to --enable-hbci.

Hmmm: "why you need to --enable-hbci"

What does this mean?  Launch gnucash with this parameter?  Put it into
some configuration file before (or after) building?  And if so, which file?

And does any of this apply to 3.x?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Re: [GNC] New User Want to Edit Estabished Checkbook Name

[Dave H]

Not sure what you mean by checkbook account here but if it's the name that
shows up in the Accounts tab, highlight it and click the "Edit the Selected
Account" icon which will display a popup form that you can edit the account
name on.  If it's your actual file, Save As works well :-)

Cheers Dave H.

[GNC] New User Want to Edit Estabished Checkbook Name

[Jack Stewart]

I have begun using a GNUCash checkbook account. I now find the 
checkbook name which I used to be unsatisfactory and can see no 
way to edit or rename it.


Do I have to trash it all and start over?

Thank you   ~Jack

[GNC] "No suitable backend was found" when trying to open file in 3.0

[Jeremy Doran]

Hello,

I just upgraded my version of GnuCash to 3.0 on my Mac, and now I am 
unable to open my account file - I get the error "No suitable backend 
was found for "


The filetype, according to the output of the 'file' command is: SQLite 
3.x database, last written using SQLite version 3007014


The same file opens without issue if I use 2.6.21.

Is SQLite no longer supported with Mac now?

Re: [GNC] find AND REPLACE?

[D]

To be more specific about item 2, Gnucash uses a random 32 character string to 
store account information in transactions, rather than an account name. This, 
of course, means that you can rename an account without breaking all the 
transactions that have used that account previously. The downside is that you 
can't simply read a transaction in the stored XML and ascertain which 
transactions are using a given account. 

That being said, if you were to determine the proper codes involved, a simple 
find and replace of the codes in the text file will change the references. As 
David C noted, though, if you break it somehow, you're on your own. Note that 
by default, Gnucash compressed your XML file, and that you have to expand it 
before it is readable in a text editor. There are explanations about this on 
the wiki, I believe. 

Oh, and should you choose to go this route, a backup taken before you mess with 
the file might be prudent.

David T

On April 12, 2018, at 11:11 PM, David Carlson  
wrote:

The simplest answer is:

1.  it is incredibly easy to break the file so that GnuCash cannot read it.

2.  A large part of the file is obfuscated by using tokens instead clear
text so cross references are really difficult to follow.

It means to pass --enable-hbci to configure when building with autotools. The 
cmake equivalent of --enable-hbci is -DWITH_AQBANKING, and it's on by default, 
so no, you don't need to do that for 3.0.

Tools-->Online Banking Setup opens the online banking setup assistant. It has 
two buttons, Cancel and Next, whose location varies depending on I'm not sure 
what: They're across the top on Debian 9 and in the lower right corner on 
MacOS. "Cancel" always dismisses the assistant. Is that what's not working for 
you, or is it after advancing to the second screen and clicking "Start 
AQBanking Setup" that you get the window that won't close?

John Ralls

Check the archives of this list this month. There are several posts 
about this and at least 2 of them have a very likely solution. You 
probably just need to edit the environment file.

It's supported, you've just found
