Re: [GNC] Gun shy?

[Dennis West]

I'm using it and is fine so far.  I was using 5.0 and 5.2 in that order 
and they worked fine also.  I don't, however, use compression so I'm 
probably not a good test.

Re: [GNC] Should I upgrade or update?

Go directly to the sourceforge page and search for gnucash. You'll find 
all the download links there.  I don't know why the regular website 
still shows vs 4.13

Re: [GNC] Should I upgrade or update?

[Dennis West]

I heartily recommend the 5.0 update.  I am, I confess, a low demand user 
as I use it as a checkbook for non-business use and manage my 
investments elsewhere.  I normally wait a little longer to update out of 
an abundance of caution but decided to go for it now.  The drop down 
list for entering transactions makes the update worth it all by itself.  
The update has been totally glitch free so far.


Thanks so much to all involved!

I don't see version 5. That might not be a stable release if it exists, so
I don't know what you should do about that.

But I know what you should do - trim posts when replying to a digest. You

I think since 4.11 (am using Windows 11 and a dark theme), I notice very odd
random line spacing in Account list window (the default window when I open
Gnucash)

I see the lines for each sub-accounts are not evenly distributed - spacing
seems completely random (some have space above and below, others do not)

I have attached a partial screenshot showing this uneven spacing for the
subaccounts  (if the mailing list supports attachments?)

Re: [GNC] Should I upgrade?

I was running 2.6 on Win 10 and had a totally flawless upgrade to 3.2

part of the upgrade.

So if its safe to do?  Do I need to uninstall or will the ver. 3 install

I have data file backed up so would I need to import that or will the ver.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 3.2 Released

[Dennis West]

I'm sure you like to get feedback from someone with absolutely no 
problems at all.


I was using 2.6.21 on my primary computer and testing 3.1/3.2 on my 
standby testbed (both on Win 10.1803).  I finally decided to take the 
plunge and upgraded my primary computer form 2.6.21 to 3.2.  The 
experience was flawless and now my testbed pc is eagerly awaiting vs 4.0.

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 3.2, the second release of the 
3.x stable release series.

Changes

Between 3.0 and 3.2, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

• Bug 787401 - Test Report System - Report Definition.
• Bug 794617 - Can't compile with -DWITH_GNUCASH=NO due to 
scm-gnome-utils.
• Bug 795101 - Scroll Bar in Reconcile Window Floats in and covers the 
check boxes.
• Bug 795247 - datepicker broken in Persian. GnuCash passes dates as 
integer y/m/d without using locale-specific formats, so we need to strip out 
'E' and 'O' from the format when scanning dates or determining separators in 
gnc-date. None of '-', 'E', or 'O' are supported by boost (and '-' causes 
errors), so strip them out from formatters in gnc-datetime as well.
• Bug 795253 - Have problems input Chinese.
• Bug 795272 - QIF importer causes application crash if action is 
invalid.
• Bug 795276 - Invalid date on price stops file from being parsed.
• Bug 795362 - Special variable "i" not parsed in function calls. Due 
to balance tests with insane random values.
• Bug 795471 - Impossible to Edit Budget Unless Maximized.
• Bug 795519 - Credit card payment after reconciliation.
• Bug 795666 - Backslash '\' in Description field spoils CSV Import 
without helpful error message.
• Bug 795831 - When read only threshold set, dates are silently 
changed. Display a message box informing the user of the change.
• Bug 795944 - Cannot store change to Business Suppliers data.
• Bug 796079 - Repeatable Crash in Tax Report Options.
• Bug 796081 - Tax Schedule Report - An error occurred while running 
the report.
• Bug 796083 - Reconcile Selection Doesn't Work Anymore.
• Bug 796117 - Connecting 3.1 to an existing mysql db drops all data. 
Provide a backup recovery function that instead of dropping primaries and 
restoring backups merges the primaries and backups. This should handle a 
worst-case safe-save failure where the backup tables don't have a complete set 
of rows for some reason.
• Bug 796256 - Main Window stays hidden when starting after closing 
main window while minimized.
• Bug 796369 - Notes lost or perhaps just not displaying when using 
SQLite backend. This bug caused data loss if you saved your SQLite3 database to 
a different file or database. The problem is that in SQLite3 (though not in 
MySQL or PgSQL) the subquery ((SELECT DISTINCT guid FROM transactions)) (note 
the double parentheses) returns only the first guid in the subquery's results. 
Some transactions are loaded by special queries and those queries are also used 
to retrieve the transaction's slots so they weren't affected.
• Bug 796398 - Restrict accelerator keys to valid date range.
• Bug 796409 - Incorrect Current Value for Stocks. Missed calculating 
the value in the register summary bar.
• Bug 796423 - Cannot Input Chinese, seems does not work with other IME 
too. Toggles not in view with all rows selected weren't being redrawn.
• Bug 796484 - csv import: iostream error. Unfortunately it turns out 
that we can't use filestreams because they can't take path arguments containing 
Unicode on Windows.
• Bug 796527 - invalid currency on scheduled transactions.
• Don't even check for price/exchange rate on template 
transactions, there's no point.
• Check all split commodities are valid, abort transaction 
creation if not.
• If the template transaction's currency isn't used by any of 
the splits set the new transaction's currency to the first-found currency if 
there is one, otherwise to the first-found commodity.
• Bug 796537 - Transaction Report cannot sort by "num".
• Bug 796586 - QIF import incorrectly converts unicode characters from 
UTF8 encoded file.
• Bug 796595 - QIF Import Select Account button to add a new account is 
labled gnc-account-new but should be New.
• Bug 796600 - stock split cash-in-lieu income/asset labels backwards.
• Bug 796614 - Reconciliation report contains incorrect transactions.
• Bug 796638 - configuration not properly saved for CSV transactions

It may look like there is a lot of  room on your display, but a lot of

specifically designed to show the notes field, so to move the notes to 
the first line would render the second line useless.


I doubt that you would find very many users that would want to shrink 
the description and notes both to half their size to squeeze them into 
one line.

Re: : importing

[Dennis West]

Maybe I was just lucky, but I selected the first choice in the QIF 
export which was all accounts including categories and it did it all in 
one pass (and that was for a file that had 20 years of data, 3 banks 
with checking and savings in each and 4 credit cards).


I fully expected to have to break the file into several separate exports 
like you're referring to but figured it was worth a try. I've been using 
the result now for several months and have yet to discover any errors.

Welcome to GnuCash!

Since you have already found the qfx importer you are almost there.  Each
QIF file contains only transactions from one financial institution and
probably only for one or two accounts.

You simply follow the steps that appear after starting the importer.  It
will first ask you which account or accounts you want the transactions to
apply to if it has never seen a file from that bank, then it will create a
list of all the new transactions and try to get you to decide where you
want them to go.  Finally it will actually import them when you click ok.

If you are unsure which other account to assign, leave the transaction
unassigned so you can fix it later.

I always save my data just before any import so I can go back and try again
if I decide that I made a mistake.

Good luck!

Re: RFP: Generic Comparison Report

[Dennis West]

If you're going to the trouble, it might be nice to enable subtotals 
within a report.  We use a report that shows all the income each year 
from about 20-30 vendors.  It would be nice to show subtotals by vendor 
as well as the grand total for the year.


I know - I'm trying to piggyback on someone else's question and you 
work.  I hope that's OK.

Analytic/Activity style Income Statement)

Chris, thanks for the link. I'll take a look at Grid also.

While it is good to have a 'flexible and cover many use cases' report, most
people aren't going to be thinking in those terms. Users are more likely
going to want a Balance Sheet and then want it to be multi-column, or an
Income Statement and then see each month or quarter. So there should be
default reports with those names that do this. Ideally, those current
reports should be modified to include the new options rather than creating
separate new reports. (less clutter in the report menus the better)

I'm in the middle of Mardi Gras festivities at the moment, but I'll dive in

Users are very interested in these developments, and there are far more
readers on users, who may have additional suggestions for use-cases and

that ask this very question, it seems to me unhelpful to split this off to
the devel list, where those users will not learn of this.

For what it’s worth, I have yet to see or use the new transaction report,
since my system hates both me and custom reports. I doubt most normal users

There's already work done to enable periodic subtotals comparison. This

feature has been named "Subtotal Summary Grid". This is done by reusing and
augmenting the (most excellent) transaction report's grouping and
subtotals. I'm not sure whether this allows 100% coverage of users'
requirements for periodic comparison, but I suspect it would.

For example, setting accounts = expense accounts (+ children),

primary-key = account, secondary-key = date, secondary-subtotals = monthly,
subtotal-summary-grid = enabled -> will provide a nice 2D grid whereby
Y-axis = accounts, X-axis = monthly expense subtotals. This feature will
reuse the subtotals already generated within the transaction report,
therefore any errors in subtotals are not from my code. Example at

Unfortunately it was completed after string and feature-freeze for

upcoming 3.0 -- I'm afraid that inclusion into 3.0 isn't guaranteed yet.
Although, as I have notified devs, if this feature is renamed "Grid", it
could be written into 3.0. The translated string "Grid" already exists.

If you wish to experiment, the code is currently available at

Hello,

I want to raise a discussion here about the creation of a generic

comparison report.

I would preface this discussion by saying that, although I am a long

time user of Gnucash, I have repeatedly demonstrated my utter inability to
generate useful code for the project, so any ultimate action on the results
of this discussion would have to be applied by someone else.

As we have seen recently, and as I have seen repeatedly over the years,

one of the more common requests for reporting is to be able to see numbers
from different time periods in order to evaluate a financial situation.

As far as I can tell, other than the multi column report, nothing of

the sort exists in Gnucash. I started thinking that it might be good to
begin the process of detailing what features might go into such a report in
order to make it generally useful, with the idea of perhaps stirring up
someone's interest in creating such a report.

Some initial ideas include:

* Definable periods. Should be able to set the unit period, with

options for common units (month, quarter, year).

* Definable numbers of periods.
* Definable accounts, but with some common groupings (Assets,

Liabilities, Investments... Are there others?)

* Perhaps the option to use another report as a template? I have no

idea how that might work, but the fact that folks 

Scheduled Transactions

[Dennis West]

When I first started with Gnucash recently, I imported a rather large 
QIF file.  All the accounts appear to have imported correctly but I 
can't find any sign of transactions that were "scheduled" in Quicken.  
Am I correct in assuming that scheduled transactions are not part of the 
import process and will have to be created new in Gnucash?

I'm curious what the "A" field refers to.  It is on the bottom line 
under the y/n flag indicating reconciliation status.
