[GNC] Unwanted Rate Column on Credit Card Register ???

[Dave H]

For some reason I have a Rate column on the very right of just one of my
credit card register windows.  Can't figure out why it's there, how it got
there, how to get rid of it.  It always seems to just contain the value
1. which I don't find very informative :-)

Any ideas on how to get rid of it, I've tried minimising it to nothing but
it comes back when I reset one on the other columns widths.

Thanks, DaveH

Re: [GNC] Strange Mac OS interface problem (John Ralls)

[Dave H]

Check System Preferences >> Dock >> Prefer Tabs when opening documents -
set to "Manually" ?  Mine tabs setting is set to "In Full Screen Only".  I
can't say I've noticed the problem running GnuCash 3.2 on High Sierra on a
27" iMac or 15" MacBook Pro.

Re: [GNC] Installing 3.2

[Dave H]

Not necessary on Windows, at least it never has been for me :-) Just start
the install of 3.2, it should detect the prior GnuCash version and offer to
uninstall it automatically as part of the install process before installing
3.2 for you.

Cheers Dave H..

Re: [GNC] Gnucash-Intel-3.1-2.dmg

[Dave H]

Hi John,

Have just installed 3.1.2 from the dmg and I usually double-click on both
the Gnucash.app and the FinanceQuote Update.app to trigger the security
warning and say open anyway before I copy them to the Application folder
replacing the previous version.  When I double click on FinanceQuote
Update.app I'm getting an error - "The variable gnc_fq_update is not
defined." - is this something to worry about or is it just because I'm not
running it correctly ?

Cheers Dave H.

Re: [GNC] New User Want to Edit Estabished Checkbook Name

[Dave H]

Not sure what you mean by checkbook account here but if it's the name that
shows up in the Accounts tab, highlight it and click the "Edit the Selected
Account" icon which will display a popup form that you can edit the account
name on.  If it's your actual file, Save As works well :-)

[GNC] Fwd: Addition of Mailing List Subject Prefix

[Dave H]

Hello people,

Please note the following as Reply All apparently has unintended
consequences.

Cheers Dave H.


Hello Dave...

Please edit the message's 'to' list before you reply to a mailing list
message. I read the list, I get the message you send to the list, I
don't need an additional copy sent directly to me when it's not even my
message you are replying to. That's just lazy. Thanks.

Re: [GNC] Addition of Mailing List Subject Prefix

[Dave H]

Yes please can we have emojis instead :-)

Your concerns are also mine, it was requested by one person who didn't seem
to be a regular reader/contributor and someone else that also looked to be
a non-contributor to the mailing list followed up with a wow this is a
great idea.  Despite a few people at the time saying they didn't want it,
Liz chose to implement it and we haven't heard a dicky bird from her
since.  I would have much preferred some sort of survey of the list to
gauge support for the proposal before arbitrarily forcing it on everyone.

Might as well go off to Nabble and read all about it :-)

Cheers Dave H.

The headers include :-

mailed-by:gnucash.org

if those aren't sufficient to filter on what is :-)

Re: [GNC] 3.0 UI broken under W8.1

[Dave H]

>From memory the description column is a special case. I usually get all my
other columns just the width I want them and if everything is too wide I
then drag the RIGHT HAND end of the Description column  back to the left a
bit and let it go - it then adjusts to fill the available space.

Glad it helped.

Re: Addition of Mailing List Subject Prefix

[Dave H]

Personally I find that sort of stuff distracting especially as there are
multiple GNC-XXX lists.  There is plenty in the current headers to filter
on if I could be bothered doing that and I get 1-200 emails most days :-)

Just my .02 worth.

Re: GNUCash 3.0: Report Printing problems

[Dave H]

So I should be able to run a report such as the Balance Sheet and then
click on the printer icon to print it on one of my physical printers ?
Currently all that happens is that it wants to save it as a pdf - doesn't
seem to be an option to send directly to the printer ?

GnuCash 3.0, Mac High Sierra 10.13.4 so perhaps not just a Win10 issue ?

Cheers Dave H.

Re: What does your Summary Bar say in Gnucash-3.0? Mine is rude

[Dave H]

Hi lj, on Windows 10 mine says "$, Grand Total:
 Net Assets: $999,999.99
 Profits: $99,999.99".

I'll have to compare with my MacOS/Windows versions at home to see if they
are different.  Not sure what the Grand Total is supposed to be and whether
it's alwys been blank as I don't usually pay much attention to this line :-)

Cheers Dave H.

Re: Gnucash 3.0 release crashes during loading

[Dave H]

I also am running Windows 10 (Enterprise - version 1709, build 16299.309)
and just updated from 2.6.19 to 3.0 (eng_au) without any issues apart from
the gigantic tabs across the top of the window which no doubt I'll have to
tweak to reduce the size to the same size they were in 2.6.9.

Re: Fast reactions to 2.7.8

[Dave H]

Geert,

I'm with Stan on this one - installed 2.7.? on another pc and it was one of
the few things I noticed apart from the tabs being wider and the font being
bigger :-(

FYI I currently have icons/labels on both Mac Hi Sierra and Windows 7 &
10.  From memory I don't think they show up on Ubuntu 17.04 - version
2.6.17 (?) from the getdeb repository and I don't think they are
toggle'able - I haven't found a setting to control it like other
applications.

Cheers Dave H.

Re: keyboard shortcut (view double line)

Roger,

Thanks for that works, like a charm and the shortcuts even show up in the
GnuCash Menus.  You just have to ensure your new shortcut doesn't clash

Re: beginning balance of income and expense accounts

Check your Preferences >> Accounts >> Reverse Balanced Accounts setting - I

Re: incorrect starting balance in reconcile

[Dave H]

Sounds like you entered a transaction with a date prior to your last
reconciled date or perhaps even before the opening balance of the
particular account you're looking at.

Check the View >> Filter By... options to ensure you're seeing all the
transactions in the account you're trying to unreconcile.

Re: how to download

The download link target you click on http://gnucash.org/ also differs
depending on which OS you select to download if you come in that way

Re: how to download

[Dave H]

I hope you understand now that's what is supposed to happen - that blasted
SourceForge.net (NOT Sound Forge) is an official download site for GnuCash
and many other applications.

Mike, assuming you want the Windows version, all you have to do is click on
the bright green with white text link that says (hope you're not colour

"Download  Latest Version

Re: Save File to Dropbox

[Dave H]

If you're talking about not being able to see it under "Places"on the left
of the file open popup form, you have to build up the path manually in
Windows anyway :-)

Click on "Windows C:" under places, then double-click "Users" in the right
hand panel, then double-click your user name in the right hand panel - keep
doing this until you've navigated to Dropbox and whatever folder in Dropbox
you saved your data file in, select it and click open.

I have a similar setup using Dropbox on a number of laptops running
Windows, MacOS and Ubuntu, only I use a file synchroniser (FreeFileSync) to
sync only my GnuCash data file between pc's as I can't be bothered synching
all the log files etc that go with it.

I also sync my saved report configurations and preferences separately.

Cheers Dave H.

Re: Saving Files

[Dave H]

Most of us save our Gnucash file(s) to a sub directory/folder under our
Documents folder so we don't clutter up our desktop :-)  Gnucash creates
log files every time you open it and do transactions with it so just
another reason to keep it off the desktop - you can set whether to retain
log files and for how long - Preferences / General / Retain log/backup
files.

On Windows if you start up Gnucash it'll open your last file automatically
so you must be moving it/deleting it/doing something to it for Gnucash not
to find it !!!

Re: Reports crashing GnuCash

[Dave H]

If you're running on Windows and running a report for the first time it
takes a few minutes even on a small gnucash data file, this is a known
issue.  Be patient it may say it's not responding but wait - after the
first report finishes ok the others all behave as expected.

You're getting the lock file message because you "killed" gnucash - select
open anyway if you're sure no one else is accessing your data file ..

Cheers Dave H.

Re: General Ledger

[Dave H]

Thanks for explaining the distinction Michael.

So I take from all this that the General Journal/General Ledger distinction
is an historical distinction no longer in real use with the advent of
computerised accounting software.  It still doesn't explain for me why the
intent is to rename everything that says General Ledger to General Journal
when General Ledger appears to be the more widely used terminology, at
least in my world.  I work in a large organisation with multiple branches
and many system users having a large Finance Section using dedicated
financial software who will only refer to the "General Ledger", hence my
confusion :-)

Re: General Ledger

Well from my point of view that is confusing.  Nobody in my world refers to

Re: variable scheduled date

[Dave H]

Hi Jean-David,

Yes version 2.4.15 was released just over 4 years / 20 versions ago so I'm
not surprised you're missing out on a lot of the good stuff :-)

I'm sure there must be ways of updating to a later version even on RedHat
just like I have already done on Ubuntu.

I see epel list an srpm for gnucash 2.6.18-1 under both
http://download3.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/7/SRPMS/Packages/g/ and
http://download3.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/7Server/SRPMS/Packages/g/ so
I'm surprised you can't upgrade to at least that version ?

Cheers Dave H.

Click on Accounts tab if not already the focus, click New icon (Create a
New Account), select "New top level account" in Parent Account listbox,
select "Expense" in Account Type listbox and click OK to create a top level
expense account, Then create your expense accounts under the top level
expense account just created.  Same holds good for Income Accounts.

Easier to start with one of the pre-defined COA's and adjust to suit
perhaps :-)

Re: Reports issues

There have been reports of late that when running reports on windows the
first time it can take a quite some time and appear like it's hung.  Give
it more time i.e. some minutes and let it finish.  Apparently subsequent
report runs are pretty normal after the first time :-)

Barry,

Your message seems to be missing any information on what you have, at least
the one I'm looking at doesn't have any.  Did you attach it (I think
attachments get stripped out of the mailing list messages ?) or paste it
inline which I think works from memory.

Re: info about action field in double-line view

[Dave H]

My workflow is remarkably similar but my transactions are marked as "y"
when they get reconciled :-)

I wouldn't mind also being able to flag a transaction as 'p' = pending for
the pending credit card transactions and 's' = scheduled when I have
scheduled a future transaction in online banking but I was told previously
that it's a binary value even though it transitions from 'n' to 'c' to 'y'
in my world !!!

Re: Fwd: Android to Desktop

[Dave H]

Mike,

Take a look at https://github.com/codinguser/gnucash-android and the
support site at  https://plus.google.com/communities/104728406764752407046
if you want details/support for the Gnucash Android app.  The support site
which mentions the double minus signs in QIF export among other things -
see below.

As it says version 2.3.0 if that's what you are running is beta software
apparently so use with caution :-)

Also XML files are usually just text files which if all else fails you can
open with a text editor to see if there's anything strange looking in the
file.

Cheers Dave H.

Re: yahoo as json stock quotes pounds/pence

[Dave H]

Also if you go to
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2017-November/thread.html#72946
there's a lot more info re the issue of changing quotes from Yahoo to
Alphavantage.

If you want to search the mailing list you need to specify the site in
google e.g. "site:gnucash-user@gnucash.org alphavantage" or similar as the
Gnucash search function doesn't work.

The actual release announcement for this change is at
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2017-November/072859.html

And states among other things...

Re: yahoo as json stock quotes pounds/pence

[Dave H]

This came about because of an issue reported in early November last year
and is considered solved I believe 

What version of Finance Quote are you running as it all changed about then
???

Re: GnuCash Install Online Price Retrieval

[Dave H]

Hi Bob,

Yeah I think from memory Win 8.1 has a start screen instead of the start
menu - it's been awhile :-)  There are 3rd party addons out there to
restore the start menu if you want it.

How do you start gnucash without the Start Menu.  When you installed
gnucash did you also tell it to install the start / taskbar icons ?
Somewhere there with the GnuCash icon, there should also be an Install
Strawberry perl icon ?

You also can download and install it manually from
http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html

Cheers Dave H.

Re: info about action field in double-line view

[Dave H]

Try clicking in the Action field - it displays a drop down for transaction
type etdc.

R = Reconciled and has values of N (New ?) / C = Cleared / R = Reconciled.

A dunno I only ever use "Basic Ledger" view :-)

Check out https://code.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/txns-registers1.html
for a bit more detail...

Re: Manually entering historic records

[Dave H]

I use Dropbox however I maintain my gnucash data file on my local drive
rather than directly in Dropbox.  I think from memory the lock file hangs
around in Dropbox so when you try to re-open your data file the LCK file is
still the and triggers the warning dialog.  As others have said you can
just click on open anyway if you're sure no one else has it open..

Keep your data file locally and depending on your OS use something like
FreeFileSync / Create Synchronicity / etc to sync it to Dropbox when you
are good and ready.

Cheers Dave H.

Yes Greg I've had this previously with GnuCash - not sure of the version
but confirmed for me by John Ralls that GnuCash does a bit of housekeeping
on occasion when you upgrade.  Can't find the thread at all at the moment
if I can will post a link to it.  What version was your previous file that

Re: Gnucash 2.6.18 blank screen in macOS 10.13.1

[Dave H]

I've had no issues running 2.6.18 on High Sierra 10.13.1 and the recently
updated 10.13.2.  Now running 2.6.19 ok as well.  Suggest you download and
install 2.6.19 and see if the behaviour is any different.

Re: MacOS 10.13.2 won't work with Gnucash

[Dave H]

Hi Pat,

I thought I'd already seen a message to the effect that you'd downloaded
the wrong Mac executable - you need to download the Mac OSX Intel bundle
NOT the Power PC bundle ?

What is the name of the dmg you downloaded - should have Intel in the name
NOT PPC.

Did you delete the old scheduled transactions, the ones with dots for
decimal separators?

Re: Gnucash & macOS High Sierra.

[Dave H]

Pam,

I haven't had any of the issues you are talking about - running 2.6.18 on
10.13.2 at the moment on both an iMac and a Macbook pro.  My scheduled
transactions are all editable and scheduling correctly.  Are you sure
you're running 2.6.18 and not 2.6.17 which is the version that has issues I
believe ?

Cheers Dave H.

Re: Gnucash & macOS High Sierra.

[Dave H]

There is an issue when you are not using the latest version of gnucash on
High Sierra.  If you aren't using 2.6.18 download and install 2.6.18 and
your issue should go away.

Cheers Dave H.

Re: My GNUCash System Will Not Launch

If you're running 2.6.17 upgrading to 2.6.18 should fix it. Otherwise
you'll need to copy a file from somewhere to somewhere, I don't have the
details handy right now 

Re: Pre-introduction question to the use of GnuCash.

[Dave H]

Hi Jeff,

I use the exact same file on Windows 7 & 10, Mac High Sierra and Ubuntu
17.04 Linux without a problem.

I'm using Dropbox currently to synchronise the file between pc's so don't
really have to worry about opening a file on a network drive from different
machines simultaneously, I just have to remember to synchronise it locally
on whatever pc I happen to be on at the time :-)

Re: Alphavantage quotes working through F::Q, not through Gnucash

[Dave H]

Hi Les,

Have you tried running it with the -v (verbose) option to get a bit more
information back ?

Running F:Q directly in Terminal works OK on MacOS 10.13 here but only
after I first issue a "export ALPHAVANTAGE_AKI_KEY="
command so you might find that's what is needed when running it directly.
Remember the environment file you added the key to is used by GnuCash and
presumably passes the api key into F::Q so if you run F:Q directly you have
to let it know what your api key is ?

Cheers Dave H.

Re: API Key

[Dave H]

Les,

Just right click on the environment file name in finder and choose "Open
With" / "TextEdit.app".  Scroll down and add it to the bottom of the file
and then save the file, exit text editor and you're away

i.e.

# Setup ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY for Finance:Quote
ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=xxxxx

Cheers Dave H.

Re: F::Q 1.40 uploaded

[Dave H]

Do you really have a semi-colon at the end of your api key in the
environment file ?

If you’ve set it up in the environment file you shouldn’t need to set it up
in the system and user environment variables also as I think Gnucash
over-writes these values with what you have in the Gnucash environment file.

Also you don’t need to set it up as both system and user environment
variables unless the user variable you want to use a different value for a
user for some reason.

Hi Lorrie,

I suggest you create a "GnuCash" folder in your "Documents" folder and copy
your gnucash files there - that way your log files don't clutter up your

Re: Customized saved-reports file per gnucash file (i.e. per company)

[Dave H]

Default location for saved reports on Windows 10 is
"C:\Users\\.gnucash\saved-reports-2.4"  I'm pretty sure I've just
copied that same file across to my Ubuntu Linux installation as well - will
check tonight and see where it is for Linux.

Cheers Dave H.

Re: New User - Help!

[Dave H]

Well the simple answer is "wherever you saved it" - if you saved a Word or
Excel document somewhere on your pc would you expect others to know exactly
where you had saved it :-)  I'm assuming you're using Windows here because
of the file path name but I could be wrong. Anyway GnuCash thinks you saved
it to "Users/yvonnePC/Desktop/Gnucash Accounts.gnucash" so will be looking
in "Users/yvonnePC/Desktop/" to find your "Gnucash Accounts" file and open
it.

Have you renamed the accounts file after closing GnuCash ?  If so how do
you expect GnuCash to know that you did this.

Did you save it to the desktop, close GnuCash and then subsequently move
the file manually after you closed GnuCash ?  If you did how could you
expect GnuCash to know this ? GnuCash will only know about it if you had
done a "Save As" and saved it somewhere else from within GnuCash it doesn't
know about anything you might have done outside of GnuCash.  You can double
click on the file when you find it again and it should open ok in GnuCash.

If neither of the above possibilties are likely and you are running Windows
you can just open windows explorer and use the search function (top right
?) to find your "Gnucash Accounts.gnucash" file - it might take a little
longer but it should come up with it unless you've copeid it to a usb drive
etc that's no longer plugged in :-)

I guess you're running windows from the file path name - it's not a good
idea to save it to the desktop as GnuCash will want to create all it's log
flles there as well - far better to create a "GnuCash" folder/directory in
your Documents folder and keep it all there without cluttering up your
desktop.

Cheers Dave H.

Re: Scheduled Transaction Help :(

[Dave H]

Hi Steve,

This is how I set mine up, I don't bother with the remind in advance as I'm
already telling it to create the transaction and notify me when it does and
I use Gnucash daily so I don't need a reminder.

Your screenshot seems to indicate it thinks it's already created the
transaction for 1 September as it says Last Occurred : 2017-09-01 - are you
sure there's not one there ?  If not you could try bumping the create in
advance out another 5-6 weeks and try running the since last run wizard
again an see if it creates the transaction for October.

Have you checked the frequency tab settings to ensure they're consistent
with what you want ?

Christine,

What version of Outlook are you using as "Reply all" has worked with
Outlook for years - just make sure you either have the ribbon with the
icons at the top displayed and click the envelope icon that has "Reply All"
underneath it (if the icon ribbon is not displayed click the Home menu
which should display the ribbon and then click on Reply All.

Having said that what version of Windows are you running ?

And as John already asked for what version of GnuCash are you running ?

Re: Scheduled transactions editor does not include ACTION feature | Use Bugzilla

[Dave H]

OK Andrew, I think I understand now - you are referring to the Action field
when you click on a "split" line of a transaction you're editing.in the
Scheduled Transaction editor - not something I use or have really noticed
to be frank :-)

I guess you're saying that like the notes field in bug 776564  that you
mentioned if you enter a select a value in the drop down list it's not
being copied to the final transaction created by the scheduled transaction
function.?

Re: Scheduled transactions editor does not include ACTION feature | Use Bugzilla

[Dave H]

I don't think the Action menu changed for the Scheduled Transactions from
2.6.16 to 2.6.17 but I could be wrong.  It's not something I ever use but
it's there in 2.6.17 in both the Windows and Linux versions.  I thought
there was an issue with icons/menu items on Mac but I could be wrong.  John
Ralls or David T (?) might be able to confirm this for you as I think
they're both running on Mac ?

Check out the GnuCash User Voice feature list at
https://gnucash.uservoice.com/forums/101223-feature-request which is the
preferred method of suggesting/requesting enhancements from memory

Re: Scheduled transactions editor does not include ACTION feature | Use Bugzilla

[Dave H]

As far as I'm concerned on Windows 10 it displays a subset of menu items
that relate to the Scheduled Transactions which is all I care about when
I'm in the Scheduled Transaction editor :-)

You'll find different Action menu items depending on whether the Accounts
tab has the focus or one of the other register tabs has focus - the menu
items are different for each scenario.

If I want to use any of the other Action menu options which in my case is
it's a simple click on one of the other tabs to use that functionality
which seems more appropriate.

What are you lacking that you want all the other items displayed in the
Action Menu ?
.

Re: Unable to create reports

[Dave H]

Heather,

If my memory is correct there were some issues (I can't remember what they
were now) with the Windows version of 2.6.16 and there was a 2.6.16-1
release shortly afterwards that fixed the issues.  Perhaps you should just
download the current version 2.6.17 which was released a couple of days ago
and install that instead ?  The download link is -
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/files/

Re: Fixing opening balance for an incorrectly reconciled account

[Dave H]

Personally I would have have fixed up the incorrect already reconciled
transaction and then re-run the reconciliation.  Although I'm at a loss to
understand how you already managed to reconcile the account if you had an
incorrect transaction in the mix :-)  If you re-reconciled after you fixed
up the transaction and the closing balance was correct you wouldn't have an
issue and wouldn't be adding transactions to try and get your next starting
balance correct.

Cheers Dave H.

Re: Schedule Transactions only auto run on startup

[Dave H]

Yes I believe the variables are limited to calculating transaction amounts
and I don't really have a use for them as I'm happy to live with an
estimated amount and update the actual amount when the transaction hits the
bank account.

I have regular fortnightly transactions where the amounts are generally
fixed rent and would like the SX to increment the periods in the
DESCRIPTION of the transactions :-)

i.e.

Statement From <> to <> (description line)
and also For Period <>  to  <> (split
description)

in the next iteration is automatically updated to

Statement From <> + 14  to <> +14
(description line) and also For Period <>  + 14 to
 <> +14 (split description).

Yeah I know, wishful thinking :-)

Cheers Dave H.
