Re: [GNC] How to upgrade to 5.1 in Ubuntu

Roland If you want to build GnuCash it is not all that difficult once all the dependencies have been resolved. The instructions at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux still seem to be pretty current. When you run cmake it will usually identify any development header files that have

David, I didn't notice when I replied, that this thread broke (at least for me) and there were more detailed replies. Now that I see what the OP was encountering, I agree, SQL won't be a solution for anything not committed. Other than this special case, I'm not sure it would be a good idea

Re: [GNC] Auto commit with auto save?

Adrien, The issue as stated is specifically the loss of an uncommitted transaction, so an SQL back end won't help with that. If, however, that open transaction prevents an entire session from being saved, then your suggestion merits attention. I personally don't know about that, though; the

Yes, uninstall the repo version just in case there is a conflict. (there shouldn't be as far as I know because flatpak is sandboxed, but in your case, it won't hurt because you want to upgrade anyway rather than try to keep both versions) Regards, Adrien On 5/9/23 11:16 AM, Roland Giesler

flywire, That looks like a bunch of documentation bug candidates. Though I'm pretty certain, the non-formal labels are default on new installations. And with regards to explaining Accounts or Transactions first, I think it would be awkward to explain entering a transaction without first

All reports can be styled with CSS. (they are simply HTML tables) You can set up a custom stylesheet and assign it as the default. You won't be able to re-order elements in the file itself, but you could maybe use some CSS positioning rules to gain a bit of flexibility. If that doesn't get

The SQL backends will get you an instant auto-save, but only for committed transactions. (as far as I know) You still have to hit Enter or Tab-through to finish a transaction, at which point the file is auto-updated. (thus, save-on-commit) Regards, Adrien On 5/4/23 4:30 PM, David G. Pickett

Yes. Click on the down arrow on the right side of the header line. Choose "Present". You may also want "Total (Period)" if you don't close the books each year but want Expense and Income accounts to just show current year totals. On Wed, May 10, 2023, 18:22 Xe Roy wrote: > The TOTAL column

The TOTAL column of the ACCOUNTS tab shows the balance of each account, including future scheduled transactions. Is there a way to show the total as-of today without applying future transactions? Sent from Outlook ___
