Re: [GNC] Stange Mac OS issues (update)

[John Ralls]

Interesting and a bit strange. Are there any other differences between the two 
machines other than model? Grasping at straws, can you set up a new user on the 
13” MBA and see if running GnuCash as that user changes anything?

John Ralls

*You forgot to copy the list, other people can help too.*

I hope I understand what you want.

In the tab we have, icon, text, button. We do not have much to move about.
Some size can be varied by changing Preferences>Windows> "Show close button
in tabs"

Well, as far as I know, in code there is no "label box" object. The
behavior of the tab suggests that it is set up by code to auto fit to the
size of the text box and the text box is set to auto fit to text size and
would be unreadable if the text box was smaller than the text.

So, something that might work would be to adjust the margins of the text to
vary the size of the text box and maybe even accept negative numbers (eg.
-2px) to decrease the text box.

As I have not tested it yet, you can try these properties with this
selectors "notebook tab" and "notebook tab label":

margin: 2px 5px 2px 5px;

or

margin-bottom: 2px;
margin-left: 4px;
margin-right: 4px;
margin-top: 2px;

or

border: 1px solid lightgreen;

or

border-bottom-width: 2px
border-left-width: 4px;
border-right-width: 4px
border-top-width: 2px

or

padding: 0px 2px 0px 2px;

or similar.

Please, report yours results here for all.

Re: [GNC] Stange Mac OS issues (update)

[V. Vatsal via gnucash-user]

John,

Neither machine has a Retina display. One is an 11 inch MacBook Air (which 
works fine with GnuCash) and the other is a 13 inch Air (which doesn’t). Both 
are running 10.3.6.

I tried creating a new GnuCash data file on the 13 inch machine, and couldn’t 
even get through the setup process, since clicking with a mouse doesn’t work 
reliably. 

Both have tabs set “in full screen only” and all options in the dock 
preferences are the same.

Re: [GNC] Decimal separator on Gnucash 3.2 Mac (fixed !!!)

[Yves Forget via gnucash-user]

Problem fixed.  I thought I’d share with the list in case the problem happens 
to someone else.

I installed GnuCash short after upgrading from OSX 10.9 to 10.13.  Gnucash uses 
period as decimal separator, while here in French Canada decimal separator 
should be comma.

After asking the list I saw that Quicken 2015 for Mac did the same.  Annoying 
that my numeric keypad would send comma but GnuCash and Quicken both want a 
period.

I’m sure Quicken worked fine on 10.9 (displaying and expecting comma), because 
in old printed reports I got the comma as decimal separator.

Today I noticed that in System Preferences/Language and region, my preferred 
regions were French Canada and English Canada, with French Canada as main 
region.  If I remove English Canada (keeping only French Canada), both Gnucash 
and Quicken want a comma.  Bring back English Canada (with French Canada as 
main region), both want a period.

Seems to be a bug on Apple’s side, where locale is set to EN_CA even if main 
region is French Canada.

So I kept only French Canada in region preferences and everything works fine.

Thanks,

Yves Forget

Re: [GNC] What does this mean?

[Daniel G Rodriguez]

Hi Adrien,

Thank you very much for the explanation. Very clear and to the point.
Really appreciate this.

I had previously read the information in the link you provided. It makes
much more sense now :)

Which types scenarios do you think are good candidates for selecting the
"Use Split Action field for Number"?

 I'm not importing from Quicken and I don't yet know clearly how I "plan to
use the Num field" as I've never used GnuCash before.

Thank you.

Re: [GNC] What does this mean?

[Daniel G Rodriguez]

Hi Alex,

Thank you so much for the explanation. This helps immensely!

You said: "The right choice for you depends on your work practices around
Gnucash and how you plan to use the 'Num' field."

I don't yet know how I will use the Num field. Been stuck at the New Book
Options screen for weeks because I didn't know whether I should select the
checkbox or not...user guide calls for "careful consideration of the
consequences."

I've read every forum I could find on the topic and most comments revolve
around "...if you come from Quicken...". I don't come from Quicken; my
financial records come from CSVs, Excel, online banking and brokerage
accounts (checking, business, IRA, brokerage), and some online payment
services (Paypal, Wechat, Alipay, etc.)

I've never used accounting software before (I did take Accounting 101 in
college 27 years ago). This my first foray into bookkeeping and my
intention is to track my personal and business accounts. I run a two-man
software consulting company and my accounts are spread across three
currencies.

In your opinion, what kinds of situations call for selecting the checkbox?

Are there some basic criteria to consider before selecting this option?

What are the benefits of using this "Use Split Action Field for Number"
feature? Is it something to be taken advantage of if you are starting from
scratch, like me?

I'm also wondering what percentage of users would tend to find it a useful
approach. The feature was introduced in version 2.6 -- by popular demand?
...to satisfy some corner cases?

Thanks for reading and for all the help!

--Daniel

Nike,

When it comes to Mac screen resolution only one thing counts: Is one of them a 
Retina and the other not? Are both running the same MacOS version?

The data file shouldn't have any affect on drawing the GUI.

[GNC] Stange Mac OS issues (update)

[V. Vatsal via gnucash-user]

Hi all,

This is an update to my earlier post reporting malfunction of the mouse pointer 
under the current version of Mac OS,

John Ralls responded that it was connected with Mac OS system tabs.

I have tried toggling the system tabs, but it makes no difference — the 
behaviour continues. 

However, I have done some more testing and found some results  that may be 
useful to track down the bug.

I have a single GnuCash file, on a USB key. I have been running GnuCash on two 
different machines, and the USB key goes back and forth. 

On one machine, there is no problem at all with the mouse. Everything works as 
expected. This was the machine used to create the GnuCash file in the first 
place.

However, on the other machine, many GnuCash interface elements are broken. 
Windows appear with strange sizes, and radio buttons are often hidden. The 
mouse click in list seems to select the item below the one clicked. 

I note that the two machines in question have different screen sizes and 
resolutions; if there’s a problem with mouse/screen coordinates, perhaps there 
is something in the GnuCash data files that ties the resolution and screen 
coordinates to the machine that created the file? 

I hope this helps.

Re: [GNC] Cannot save custom checks

Yes, region settings is where Windows puts the localization UI.
Weird that everything else would find the right place but save check format 
would fail. And, FWIW, I just tested and it worked fine, albeit my primary is 
C: but it's hard to imagine why that would cause this problem.

 Unfortunately you have only included the very last line of
the build
 error.
 The more useful details are in the lines above.

 My first guess would be that you still have gnucash 2.6.x
installed on
 your
 system. During build gnucash will try to link against other
built files.
 However if these files are also present from an installed
gnucash it looks
 like these are found first. And in this case that could fail.

 Can you uninstall gnucash 2.6.x and restart the build ?

Yes, that folder exists and is populated with books\ checks\ and \translog as

As far as localization settings, are you referring to the region settings?

Re: [GNC] Operating Checking Account in Overdraft

[Murray Field]

HI David,

Thank you for your email. It all makes perfect sense to me.

Unfortunately, I fall into the second category, in permanent overdraft, but my 
bank treats me well, of course I pay dearly in fees!

Kind Regards,

Murray

Murray,

If you operate the account normally with a positive cash balance with only
an occasional excursion into the red for relatively short periods <<
financial year, I would think it is reasonable to record it as an asset
account.

If however you intend to operate the account as a perrmanent overdraft where
the account is in the red most of the time for some considerable period
comparable with a financial year (e.g. after paying for
renovation/refurbishment), it is operating as a variable principal loan, and
it would be more appropriate to record it as a liability rather than an
asset.

Either approach is reasonable. If the books are for your own business, then
your accountant will be able to sort out any formal reporting requirements.
If there are no formal reporting requirements then that is fine.

Your main concern is that any fees associated with using the overdraft
facilty and any interest will possibly by tax deductible depending upon tax
rules in your jurisdiction so you will need to record then as expenses.

David Cousens

be very careful when you do this, for example if you accidentally put a
space after the first / then you would delete the whole file system.  When
I have to do such things I usually do
cd /usr/local/lib/gnucash
then double check I am in the right directory, then
sudo rm -rf .

OK, normal enough. Does %APPDATA%\GnuCash exist and is it populated?

[GNC] ver 3.2 Fails to Display Graphics in "Tutorial and Concepts Guide" (main help file)

[GnuCashOrg]

None of the "GnuCash Tutorial and Concepts Guide" graphics (.png files)
display on my computer. Can you suggest why and how to correct the
situation?

 

Here are the details on my PC (although I don't really know what might be
needed to answer my question).

. GnuCash 3.2 just installed

. ASUS laptop (advertised as a gaming machine, though I don't play
games)

. Windows 10 Home ver 1083, build 71734.165

. Intel Core i7 processor

. 16GB RAM

. Running 1920 x 1080 resolution

. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti video card

 

Thank you so much for any help/direction you might be able to provide.

Re: [GNC] Compile of 3.2 fails

[Michael via gnucash-user]

Geert, Thanks for the reply.  type gnucash gives /usr/local/bin/gnucash, 
but that seems to be an old 2.6.21 install that no longer works.  There 
is a working 2.6.21 in a $HOME/build-folder, but it doesn't show up.


I cleared the guile ccache with no improvement.

Looks like I should think about this some more and probably do a fresh 
install of Mint.  For now I can use 2.6.21.  Thanks, Mike

Is the install of gnucash 2.6 installed in /usr or /usr/local ? Then your
build may be picking up the wrong libgnc-core-utils.so.

What do you get when you enter
type gnucash
on a terminal ?

Do you have amended the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable for your user
account (or systemwide) ?

Another thing to try is to clear guile's local build cache in
$HOME/.cache/guile/ccache
There may still be precompiled files in there from a previous build though
it's less likely this matters here.

The more useful details are in the lines above.

My first guess would be that you still have gnucash 2.6.x installed on
your
system. During build gnucash will try to link against other built files.
However if these files are also present from an installed gnucash it looks
like these are found first. And in this case that could fail.

Can you uninstall gnucash 2.6.x and restart the build ?

Hi Peter,

Exactly like this for example:

/* Tab Label Settings */
notebook tab {
  color: blue;
  font-size: 14;
}

notebook tab:hover {
  color: red;
  font-size: 15;
}

now we can control the style when the mouse pointer is over the tab and
when it is not without one definition interfering with the other.
Do not forget to delete/suppress old settings for the tab.
Suppress: put lines to be suppressed between /* and */.

For more information and other properties that can be used, see here:
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK3#Sample_Style_Properties

Re: [GNC] Cannot save custom checks

[Mike stagl]

My user directories should be on my local F: drive.

Any idea how I could double check where GnuCash is looking for my user data 
files?

When I go to Windows Explorer and type %APPDATA% or %LOCALAPPDATA% it appears 
to correctly point to the locations on my F: drive.  The path appears to be 
F:\Users\Me\AppData\ then either Local or Roaming.  There are no unusual 
characters.

For reference, I have just created a new test gnucash file saved on my local 
machine's desktop and encountered the same error.  My primary drive is my F: 
drive.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [GNC] Compile of 3.2 fails

[Geert Janssens]

The symbol gnc-build-userdata-path is defined in libgnc-core-utils.so or it 
should be. It is a new symbol for gnucash 3.x.

Is the install of gnucash 2.6 installed in /usr or /usr/local ? Then your 
build may be picking up the wrong libgnc-core-utils.so.

What do you get when you enter
type gnucash
on a terminal ?

Do you have amended the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable for your user 
account (or systemwide) ?

Another thing to try is to clear guile's local build cache in
$HOME/.cache/guile/ccache
There may still be precompiled files in there from a previous build though 
it's less likely this matters here.

“X in a box” is Windows’s way of indicating a character for which the current 
font doesn’t have a glyph. Normally one would expect “C:” beginning the user 
directory path, so perhaps your user directories are on a network share with 
non-ASCII characters in the name?

[GNC] Cannot save custom checks

[Mike stagl]

I'm having trouble saving custom check prints.  When I try to save my custom 
settings, I get a dialog box that says:


Cannot Open File {odd symbols such as an "X" in a box}\Users\{my Windows User 
Name}\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash\Checks\PTA.chk: Invalid Argument.


If I attempt different file names to save as, I can get this message:


Cannot Open File {symbols such as an "X" in a box"}\Users\{my Windows User 
Name}\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash\Checks\1.chk: Input/Output Error


I am using GnuCash 3.2 on Windows 7.  I encounter this error both when I am 
using a local copy of a .gnucash file on my local machine, and also when I am 
working with a .gnucash file on a remote server.


Any thought?  Thanks to all the contributors,

Re: [GNC] Hangs on startup

[David Carlson]

Finbar,

Your screen grab did not come through all the way to my computer.

Have you read any of the discussion here about the first start-up of
release 3.2 being more slow than normal, and subsequent start-ups still
being substantially slower than 2.6 21 or earlier?  In Windows in
particular the O.S. will think that GnuCashh is not responding, in some
cases for several minutes.  You have time to brew a pot of coffee and maybe
drink it too.

Also, GnuCash has historically been very slow to open certain reports,
especially when started in the default settings or with custom settings
encompassing a lot of data.

Have you tried creating a tiny test data file to see if it works faster
with less data?

[GNC] GNC 3.2 CSV import for transaction with multi-split

[Indra via gnucash-user]

Hi I'm new to GNC, I'm trying to re-import CSV generated by same version of 
GNC(version 3.2). I saw previous email that version 2.6 cannot import CSV 
generated by GnuCash (containing 2 split). And this re-import from exported CSV 
issue is solved since version 2.8
I just tested exporting simple transaction from my accounts
1 transaction with 2 splits with memo on each split.
I deleted the transaction from UI and reimport using the generated CSV (checked 
the multi-split option). The importer should recreate 1 transaction with 2 
splits with their memo.But now after import, I have 2 transactions instead of 1.
first transaction contain memo for split 1 with description.

second transaction contain memo for split 2 WITHOUT description.

Is this multi-split CSV importer working and tested?
Thanks
