[GNC] W3C Web Developer Tools

Hi GnuCash, For those web developers (or web users) on this list, I stumbled across what seems to be a very helpful toolset from W3C: https://w3c.github.io/developers/tools/ That page includes a link checker, a HTML validator, a CSS validator and more! It seems like a pretty useful thing to

[GNC] Default to Plain English instead of Debit and Credit

GnuCash is presented as a double entry accounting system using debits and credits, but it's not special, it just lacks a good explanation. The Guide starts with a quick overview followed by The Basics describing Accounting Concepts. The guide even warns that accounting debits and credits are used

That seems to cover it. I'm disappointed that the bug was posted six years ago and still hasn't been addressed. I know that the developers are far from idle, but to me it just seems so basic that you don't tell the user "There's a problem, now try to guess where it is." Stan Brown Tehachapi, CA,

Carsten, Do you already have gnucash installed from flathub or only from code.gnucash.org? To update with this procedure, you'd need to have the flathub gnucash package installed. And I don't know what happens if you have gnucash installed from multiple repositories. That may need some

Re: [GNC] Auto commit with auto save?

Yes, one can imagine that. I can imagine that it would be possible to add something like that into the get quotes function that already exists, but I'm not a programmer, so I accept that if I want to track commodity values in GnuCash, I have to click the get quotes button. The get quotes button

Hello Roland! To being able to keep GnuCash up to date, you should install a flatpak version. The wiki tells you how to do that. GnuCash wiki flatpak German:     https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/De/Flatpak My preferred way is to download the flatpak package from the GnuCash build-server. GnuCash

Re: [GNC] corporate profit tax ........... where to put

Karl, Jim is right, you're mistaken or confused. You can create and edit Equity accounts just like Asset and Liability ones. Closing the books simply transfers the balances of all Income and Expense accounts to some other Equity account that you designate when you run it. For most

Re: [GNC] Auto commit with auto save?

I use auto save, and if the app is running, the cron kills it and removes the lock before running the quote fetch. One can imagine the app having a listening socket to let you ask it to get quotes from a cron script.  Or having it maintain a schedule where it gets all quotes, like an internal

[GNC] How to upgrade to 5.1 in Ubuntu

Hi all, I'm looking for some details on how to upgrade to GNUCash 5.1 on Ubuntu 22.04.  I installed GNUCash from the repositories (v 4.8), but the new version is not in the repos yet.  So, if I install manually, I'll probably end up having both versions installed, not? Question 1: Is there

It's a wiki, so you could put it in. You'd get to decide where that would best live, too. FWIW, my method for doing this is to save the file as an SQLite file, open the result in a DB reader, locate the appropriate table there, and execute the change globally. Then I reopen the file in GnuCash

Re: [GNC] corporate profit tax ........... where to put

Hello Jim, Thank you for your response. What I would do on paper I already lined out in my first email: equity- liability swap. For this to happen there must be a an "approachable" equity account in gnucash, which from my understanding will only show a value if the "books are closed". I.E.

Hello, Karl: This sounds like an accounting question to me, not a GnuCash question?  How would your account advise you to track these transactions if you were using a pen and paper accounting book? You can do it the same way in GnuCash. I am a bit surprised by your statement, "that gnucash

[GNC] corporate profit tax ........... where to put

Hi, I am wondering where to put the tax on corporate profit. My understanding from accounting training is: 1) As long as not paid it would swap between Equity and Liability, i.e. the equity shrinks by the tax amount and the liabilities increase by the tax amount. 2) At pay date it would be
