[GNC] Configuring Automatic Retrieval Quotes error

2021-01-16 Thread Denise Ufkes
Hello, I am just starting to set up GnuCash and want to set it up to automatically update mutual fund prices.  I followed the instructions in the manual as show here, but got the following error.  I can see the file it is looking for, but don't know why access is being denied. Can you help?

I don’t have Big Sur, but I can just drag the icon from the Applications folder opened in FInder, onto the Dock. Then I can start Gnucash by double-clocking the icon in the dock. I suppoe it depends how busy you Dock is already. peter > On 17 Jan 2021, at 1:41 pm, Peter S. Shenkin wrote: > >

On Big Sur, I have Gnucash installed directly under /Applications, which is the default Installer option. I either double-click the icon, or, in a Terminal window, type "open /Applications/Gnucash.app". If you have Gnucash.app installed somewhere else, just type open /Gnucash.app. Once it opens,

Hi David, Yes tried it without and get "Couldn't find an application named "Gnucash"; defaults unchanged" so it definitely seems to need the folder name in addition to the app name. Might uninstall on my Macbook Pro later and re-install to apps folder only and see if it makes any difference.

Have you tried without the extra directory info? man defaults says that the -app flag specifies the name of the app, not a directory. I haven’t tested it myself, and the manfile is a bit vague on details here. But since defaults write is writing to the pfile in Library, it doesn’t have to know

Hi David, Been playing around with that exact same setting for a while now but it doesn't seem to work on my Big Sur / Gnucash 4.4 system. My setup is slightly different in that I installed Gnucash in /Applications/GnuCash as opposed to /Applications itself, so I've been tinkering with defaults
