Re: New Entities

Roger, I presume you already have the first entity at least partially setup and have started entering transactions. Go to File menu and see if ’Save’ is an option or if it is ‘grayed out’. If an active option, go ahead and save your work. If it’s grayed out, no need to do anything, as any

Re: New Entities

Matt, There might be a use case for it, but as I mentioned, it’s just too darned easy already to switch between books. With the example of the club book I manage, I have to sometimes record my own expenses in my personal books, and then in the club books as a contribution in-kind. The workflow

Re: New Entities

I’m well aware of that method. It just doesn’t produce that result for me on a Mac. I still only get one file open at a time. I had to resort to cli to force it. Note, this is just for Gnucash. Other apps let me open more than one file with the double click method. (and for the record, I use

Re: New Entities

Matt, You bring up a good point. I have seen a suggestion somewhere to use virtual machines to sandbox GnuCash files and keep them isolated from each other. I think that is Overkill but it works. I occasionally open two files simultaneously if I want to copy a transaction from one file to

Re: New Entities

It is OS specific. You Apple users don't know that ,Windoze and Linux and certain other OSes allow the user to open a data file with it's preferred program simply by double clicking the data file icon. Makes it easy to get the right one when there are lots of files with similar names. :-) David

Re: New Entities

The only other thing to add - this all presumes that you need separation. Probably do for your businesses (tax and legal reasons - I have no idea), but don't forget that GNUCash reports are very flexible - you choose the accounts you want included. I don't use the business features though -

Re: New Entities

The only way I’ve found to do this is from the command line. While certainly possible, the normal methods, including the File > Open method I described in this thread should not allow opening two files at once. I can’t seem to get it to do so otherwise. I don’t suspect a new user will be

Re: New Entities

Actually, more than one file can be opened simultaneously, but certain settings that apply to the program environment on the computer can be lost if they are changed while editing one file then it is not the last file closed. It is better not to open more than one file at a time. David C On

Re: Changing GTK theme or UI Font on macOS

Thanks John, I’ll test 2.7.4 then for theming. As for font and size, that’s the code I was trying. (with a different font) I even switched it to Baskerville as a test to see if the font itself I chose was the issue. Still no dice. I had to use this format below, but only the register is

Re: New Entities

Roger, Yes. Just start a new GnuCash book file for the new entity. Create its account structure as you wish. Save the file. (probably using the name of each entity helps) Only one file at a time is allowed to be open. (the same holds for Quickbooks incidentally) Open the file corresponding

Changing GTK theme or UI Font on macOS

I started playing around with using a different theme than Raleigh for my GTK apps. I’ve managed to install gtk-chtheme via Homebrew along with a couple of themes and their required engines. I can select the theme with gtk-chtheme, but GnuCash doesn’t seem to use it. Inkscape does however. I

Re: Copying transactions from an account to the general ledger

Mike, See the replies by Geert and John. The GL by default only shows the last 30 days of transactions. If the transactions you entered previously were dated more than 30 days ago, you won’t see them. Turn off the default filter first as they mentioned. As John noted, be wary of entering

Re: Copying transactions from an account to the general ledger

Mike, There’s no copying anything to the General Ledger. The GL is simply a consolidated view of all accounts. Your transactions should be there. I just did a test with a fresh book, entered some transactions in Cash, opened the GL and the transactions were all there. I presume you are going

Hi Mike The easiest way I know of, to move ALL the transactions from one account to an empty account, is to simply rename the account! On 6 February 2018 at 17:15, Mike Donovan wrote: > Having recorded many transactions to the cash account, I would like to copy >
