Re: [GNC] Switching to trading accounts in existing database

When I implemented trading accounts several years ago they were a bit controversial. Some people thought they were more trouble than they were worth and argued that they should be an opt-in choice. One of the initial design goals was that if you didn't turn them on nothing would change in

Re: [GNC] Switching to trading accounts in existing database

I am probably missing something here. I have bank accounts in two countries and regularly transfer money between them. Whenever I move money, I record the transaction and the amount for each side of the transaction. Gnucash automatically makes an entry in the Price Database recording the

Hi Christopher, This is very sad. Sad for various reasons. I went over these documents previously (but did not read them thoroughly). My takeaway is: * Storing the conversion rate per transaction makes the accounting equation as a function of time inconsistent (but it is consistent for each

Hello all, thank you for replying. I'm new to this email list. Dave, I do have an M1 Mac. Maybe that's part of the problem. Chris, how do you reinstall F::Q? The "perl -MCPAN -e shell" doesn't have an uninstall option. I did manually upgrade F::Q though, no change. Gnucash-cli still thinks

Multicurrency is a major minefield. Start from https://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/accounting/tutorial.html and finish with https://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/accounting/gnucash.html for the background on trading accounts. >From discussion with accountant, it would seem that the safest

Re: [GNC] Updates on Windows

David, On Linux Mint any orphan menu items are not removed automatically from the users menu but the uninstall process reports orphaned menu items after an app is removed and asks you if you want to remove or retain them, at least when the uninstall is triggered from the menu system. I can't

Derek, Thanks for the quick reply. Not being a Linux user (much), I immediately wonder whether the Linux removal and reinstallation process removes existing menu shortcuts that a user may have implemented, such as placing an icon on the OS menu bar. Do you know? David  On 1/21/2021 8:58

[GNC] Updates on Windows

Hello, I've used GnuCash for a very long time, under different operating systems (currently GC4.4 on WIndows 10), and I have a minor question about the upgrade process under Windows. When I updated under MacOS, I was able to install multiple versions in parallel simply by renaming the app
