Re: [GNC] Accounting period on a per-file basis?

To Michael's point, setting specific dates, that's not as convenient, but maybe saving one report with two sets of options will reduce the amount of date selection I have to do, even if it doesn't reduce it to zero. Perhaps lack of clarity what is meant by "saved report" Thus for any

Re: [GNC] finance Quote Not working

As an FYI, on my windows 11 installation, the default location where GNUCash installs itself is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash" and the full path to the CLI executable is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnucash-cli.exe" For command line guys like me, these paths are just crazy

On windows you'll need the double quotes around the .exe path because of the space in "Program Files" i.e. "C:\Program Files\GnuCash\gnucash-cli.exe" -V --quotes dump nseindia RELIANCE OR you can also open a command prompt and change directory to C:\Program Files\GnuCash end then just run the

I agree an option would be best with sub-folders as what I'd call a 'sane default'. As for the OPs files, I suspect the search wasn't required, but maybe seemed to be useful for a directory with *lots* of files. (It also might be a case of familiarity with search and limited familiarity with

Hi David: Thx for the reply. The qif file is not coming from a financial institution. It is being created from a 3rd party software. I was trying to determine if the file was created incorrectly or if gnucash wasn’t reading it properly. That’s why I was editing the file to see if I could

Quite correct For a very long time I have had an issue that when I click the app, it loads, but after the perl stuff it says"cannot find the file - open anyway?" From time to time, seemingly randomly, it opens the (presumably last used) file and away I go. I am always careful, because of

Yes. After sending my issue, I realized I did upgrade to MariaDB 11 a while a go, but just haven't used GnuCash since. I've just tested and it does work on MariaDB 10, so I'll need to downgrade for now. Is support for MariaDB 11 in the works? Anywhere I should submit such a request? On Sun, Aug

[GNC] gnucash complaining about libdbi version

Dear GnuCash community, for years I've been happily using GnuCash on Windows, storing my data in mariadb. Unfortunately it now started complaining about the version of libdbi and I can't use my data anymore. I didn't change anything and even tried upgrading from 4.13 to 5.3, but to no avail.
