Re: [GNC] Gun shy?

[R Losey]

Thanks for all of the feedback. I guess before I do financial work this
week, I'll update my GnuCash from 5.1 to 5.3

I'm glad it's working fine!

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 5.3 autofill headaches

[Adrien Monteleone]

I thought I saw that a Windows specific freeze bug related to the 
autofill was fixed in the 5.2 release notes.


Perhaps a new bug has cropped up, or it wasn't fixed for all cases.

Or something is wrong with your particular data file, installation, or 
system as it appears to be working for others as noted. (maybe you have 
some sort of corrupted description in that particular register?)

Adrien

If I type any letter A-T, the list of prior descriptions pops up, but if I

if I type gibberish really fast when I get into the description box, I can
make the gibberish appear (not that that is useful!)

freeze when I get to the second letter.  Then i have to delete the entry.

I've tried re-downloading 5.3, I've tried re-starting GnuCash repeatedly,
I've rebooted, I've changed the size of window for GnuCash, so I dunno, I'm
about to go back to version 4.14 or whatever I've been using for past
several years.

I just wish there was a way to switch that "feature" off...  I can't get it
consistently, or most of the time to work.  I'm quite happy manually typing
in descriptions...

Re: [GNC] How to search for a word in a description in an invoice

[Adrien Monteleone]

If you do accumulate splits, then the register transactions will 
consolidate line items so there is only one split per affected account.


If you do not accumulate splits, all line items show up as their own 
split. (thus putting the line item detail into the register transaction)


'Memo' is the field to search line items in this case as that is where 
your line item description text will be. (other line item fields except 
for total amount for that line, do not make it into the register)


As for key bindings to auto-select a search field? I doubt it, but maybe 
the GTK Inspector can show you a clue if it is possible.


It would be nice to save search criteria though.

Adrien

Thanks, I have the preference accumulate splits on post  NOT set now.

I still need to use description, notes or memo setting to get anything 
from an invoice.  Does that mean I've not got the 'consolidate splits on 
posting' unchecked?   I DO  have accumulate splits UNchecked, and that 
is all I see.


I'm using locally compiled Version: 5.1   Build ID: 5.1+(2023-04-30)


What is involved in creating a key binding like f such that the

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 5.3 autofill headaches

[David Cousens]

Steve,

There is AFAIK no general way to turn off auto-completion but when it is
initiated and highlights a transaction which it thinks is a match, there is a
popup "Don't autocomplete" above that first matching transaction which allows
you to choose not to autocomplete by clicking on it.  The behaviour you describe
with "A-T" and "U-Z" doesn't occur in V5.3 built on Linux (Mint 21.3) so it may
be a Windows library problem rather than the GnuCash code itself.

You could raise a feature bug requesting the option of disabling autocompletion
completely or even on a register by register basis.

Re: [GNC] Backup

[David Carlson]

James,

Did you design your backup strategy to include your GnuCash data?

And did you test the strategy to see if you could recover the data?

If so, you should be good.  If not, you have some work to do.

Re: [GNC] Gun shy?

I'm using it and is fine so far.  I was using 5.0 and 5.2 in that order 
and they worked fine also.  I don't, however, use compression so I'm 
probably not a good test.

[GNC] Gun shy?

[R Losey]

(Heh) I wonder if we are all gun shy about downloading and installing
GnuCash 5.3; I haven't seen anyone on this list say that they have used it
and it is fine.

Re: [GNC] "Easy" way to revert to default Gnucash?

[Glenn Fowler]

Hi Steve - the easiest is to just delete the gtk-3.0.css file. The default
folder location is: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash

Re: [GNC] gnucash - Can't Save file

[Adrien Monteleone]

Neil,

Consider adjusting your preferences for Mac updates. I had a similar 
problem years ago and turned off automatic installing updates. I still 
get a notification and then it nags me if I don't get to it manually, 
but that allows me to decide when to update and avoid losing data that 
for whatever reason is not, or cannot be, saved at the moment.


Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] "Easy" way to revert to default Gnucash?

[Adrien Monteleone]

Yes, the Wiki covers theming. On Windows you can use an .ini file, or 
you can use a custom CSS file.


Look over that section of the Wiki and check those two locations. You 
can simply comment out the relevant lines in the respective files to 
undo any changes you made.


That may not qualify as 'easy' but since you made manual changes the 
first time, that is the way to undo them.

Adrien

Re: [GNC] gnucash - Can't Save file

[Neil Campbell]

Hello Gyle

Thank you for that. Unfortunately overnight my computer (Apple Mini M1) 
rebooted for some unknown reason and I lost it all anyway. But thanks for your 
help. Yes, I did upgrade too soon, and should have known better. It was my 
mistake, not theirs.

I just want to add that, like you, I am extremely grateful for the work done by 
all the developers to keep GNUCash updated. I am a retired Accountant and find 
it excellent for small business accounting which I do in a small way to help 
small businesses get on their feet.

Best regards
Neil

Re: [GNC] Get Quotes under Ver 4.14 v 5.0 or 5.1 or 5.2 or 5.3

[Steve Miller]

That worked perfectly. Thank you. Your brief instruction should be added to
the GnuCash help manual.
