Re: [GNC] [GNC-dev] GnuCash 3.3 Released

[David Cousens]

Jack,

If you had GnuCash installed it is unclear why you had problems deleting
certain accounts. The only difficulty would normally be if there were
existing transactions to the account you were trying to delete. In that case
you either have to decide to assign the transactions to another account or
delete them. The other area where you might expect problems is with the
business features where deleting accounts will disrupt those features.

It sounds as though your problems were in setting up the CoA to meet your
needs. If you don't need the business features then you should be able to
add and remove accounts as necessary. You may have difficulty removing the
top level Asset, Liability, Equity, Income and Expense accounts and these
should not be removed at all as that will disrupt the reports. They should
really be placeholders for the accounts you need in each category and you
should create your accounts under the top level accounts. The best bet is to
select the accout structure closest to meeting your needs in the setup
assistant and modify it from there.

If you do get in a mess and need to start again, all you need to delete is
the gnucash data file, not the gnucash program or the user settings. There
is some relevant information on this wiki page
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/basics-migrate-settings.html
for migrating settings. Migrating the data is a matter of copying the data
file to a new location or opening a new data file and giving it a new name.
As GnuCash creates backup and log files it is a good idea to store your
datafile in its own folder. The data file will be in whatever location you
stored it when you first create the file.

There are a number of tutorials on the internet which discuss removing
GnuCash from MacOS systems:
https://www.uninstallmacapp.com/gnucash-2-6-3-removal.html
https://macuninstallguides.com/remove-gnucash-2-6-3-on-mac.html
http://macosuninstaller.com/remove-gnucash-2-6-10.html

Good luck

David

Re: [GNC] Ubuntu PPA

[David Cousens]

When 3.3 is available in a ppa will depend upon the maintainers for that ppa
not the GnuCash developers.

Did you follow https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux when
attempting to build on Ubuntu? You will have to follow all the steps and
install all the dependencies. The instructions there were developed on Linux
Mint which is a Ubuntu 18.04 derivative and are basically unchanged from
14.04 through to 18.04 apart from changes to the dependencies. The trickiest
part is usually the relative addressing of the gnucash source directories
from the build directory using cmake. That can be avoided by using an
absolute path to the gnucash source directory in the cmake command.

Give it a go and come back to the forum with the problems you are
experiencing along with the specific command sequence you used and we should
be able to help you get it up and running.

You might want to check out the new CSV-Importer in GnuCash 3 and the
Bayesian Matcher or maybe you can even directly import the transactions
from the bank without an extra file.

For which I don’t know why to convert it to QIF, if wasn’t provided by
the bank that way firstly, since as I said, gnucash 3 can import
CSV-files just fine.

Hi,

I am using Gnucash 2.6.21 on Windows 10, and after ver 3.3, decided to use
3.3. However, because it takes ages to update the database during log-off
and during automatic saves, I decided to turn back to 2.6.21.

BTW, I am using xml database.

[GNC] bank2qif - a gnucash companion tool

[Łukasz Piątkowski]

Hi everyone!
I'm new here, but I'm using gnucash for about 10 years now. A few
years back I created a small helper tool, that allows you to get a
bank statement from a bank, convert it to QIF format and then import
to gnucash. I know there were tools like that already, but mine can
also convert transactions in the statement according to user-defined
rules and thus automatically assign them to gnucash account. I'm using
it for years as well, but recently I cleaned it a little bit, added
some docs and published on github. If you're interested,check the
project here: https://github.com/piontec/bank2qif

It is designed to be easily extensible, so it should be easy to add
new bank statements formats or transaction conversion options. If you
find it useful, please link in the docs for others to find.

This seems to be fixed, however I’ve encountered a new one.

Under certain circumstances I can’t select-all on autofilled
transactions with Crtl+A, if I’ve clicked into a text input field,
instead a random portion of the line gets selected right when I press
Ctrl, the “a“ has no effect afterwards.

Is this already known or should I file a report?

Re: [GNC] Reports with previous year in different Accounts

[Geert Janssens]

Ok,

Unfortunately that version had a bug which means the metadata migration only 
ran partly. As a 
result your saved report configurations didn't come over.

It takes 3 steps to fix this:
1. Undo the folder renaming you did of the .gnucash directory in your home 
directory
2. Remove directory '%APPDATA%\GnuCash' (you can enter %APPDATA% in the 
navigation bar 
of your Windows explorer and then remove the GnuCash child directory you see in 
that 
directory)
3. Update to gnucash 3.3. You should in any case. *lots* of bugs have been 
fixed since gnucash 
3.1

Upon first start of this most recent version you should see a Migration notice 
popping up. If so, 
your saved report configurations should be available again.

Regards,

Geert

Re: [GNC] Reports with previous year in different Accounts

[Geert Janssens]

I have a feeling your folder renaming was backwards, but without more detail 
it's hard to tell.

Can you be a bit more specific to what you did exactly ? Lik which folder's 
name did you change ?

And what version of gnucash did you use before and to which version did you 
upgrade ?

Re: [GNC] Reports with previous year in different Accounts

[davidbrown.rdps]

Hello David …. I changed the folder name with the May dated files, and then 
installed the newer version and no new files/folder were included in the “User” 
paths.  I have yet to try a new report anyway, so we will see.

 

Always a bit odd when specific notes are given and then doesn’t follow.  They 
have to be somewhere!!

 

I know when Apps are looking for those files it would be useful to store them 
in the folder alongside the main file.  There would be no confusion between 
different Data files when all stored separately.

 

I wonder whether this has been an issue over the years; I would have thought it 
was, because reporting is the thing we do for other people’s info.

 

Tnx David …

This is a known issue with how GnuCash handles saved reports, and has been 
around a long time. Your only recoourse is to create separate user logins at 
the operating system, and log in to each user account when you wish to access a 
particular GnuCash book and its reports.

How can I store reports for the org that I am working on.  As you say it seems 
though report config is per user and not per book.  Will look at the "Close 
Book" function anyway to see what it does.

Tnx

Kind regards

It was 3.1 and just updated ... yet to use the new one though.

I have created and saved a config and then when revising some bits, just save 
the report config.  I'll have a look at your suggestions tmrrw sometime .

Many thanks Geert ..

What version of gnucash are you running ?

In addition there is a subtle difference between report configurations you 
explicitly save and reports you keep open when quitting gnucash.

The former are stored in a file named saved-reports-x.y. The ones that are 
still open while gnucash exits will be saved in GNC_DATA_HOME/books/ 
.gcm. These will be restored automatically when you restart gnucash.

[GNC] scroll not working

[Dennis Powless]

I haven't updated to 3.3 yet, still on 3.1 on ubuntu

While in a register, I noticed that trying to scroll up to past
entries using the scroll bar on the right does not work.  I'm able to
scroll by moving the bar, but when released it snaps back to the
bottom.  When I hover on the scroll bar area the mouse and right 4 or
5 columns flicker back and forth.  With a transaction selected at the
bottom I can use the up/down arrows to navigate to a previous
transaction (however, going back to a previous year of transactions to
review something is time consuming.)

Is anyone else able to replicate this?

I can raise a bug if warranted.

I'm glad you got it working.

Just to solve the other mystery: when you tried settings.ini previously, did 
you also shorthand to only a font size ? I believe the font specification in 
settings.ini also requires at least a font family.
