Re: [GNC-dev] Register text selection + V#3 Windows scroll bars.

Hi Geert,

 

Re Changing GnuCash 3 scrollbars back to typical MS Windows style

 

Thanks for the information.

 

I see from your comment on:

sual_aspect.2C_not_covered_by_.22Select_Theme.22.3F :

is partly documented in the gtk api reference, but gnucash is not picking it
up. Perhaps we need to initialize the gtksettings early in the application
run ?]
 

that GnuCash is currently ignoring settings in the GTK3 settings.ini file. I
have tested this is still true.

 

I have raised bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796421 - GTK3
settings.ini not being used

so that hopefully this can be fixed.

 

I see from:

imary-button-warps-slider :
   Whichever action you choose for the primary button, the other action
will be available by holding Shift and primary-clicking, or (since GTK+
3.22.25) clicking the middle mouse button.

 

I confirm that I can use shift-left-click or middle-button-click to perform
the desired scrollbar action in Windows 10.

I'll send a less complicated email to gnucash-user to let people know of the
alternative.

This is another behavioral change we got "for free" from Gtk3.

 

Luckily this one is configurable [1] by adding

gtk-primary-button-warps-slider = false

to the [Settings] section of gtk3's settings.ini file

 

The location of this file is platform dependent.

 

On systems following the Freedesktop specification (being linux, gnucash on
macports, most bsd's,...) settings.ini should be created (if not exists yet)

in

$HOME/.config/gtk-3.0

$HOME is a special shell variable and refers to your home directory.

For example

/home/someuser/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

 

On Windows this file should reside in

%localappdata%\gtk-3.0

%localappdata% is a special Windows variable and refers to a location to
store local user specific configuration files.

For example

c:\Users\someuser\AppData\Local\gtk-3.0

 

For our OS X/Quartz the settings.ini file will be searched for in

$HOME/Library/Application Support/Gnucash/config/gtk-3.0

Like on linux $HOME refers to your home direcory.

For example

/home/someuser/Library/Application
Support/Gnucash/config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

[GNC-dev] branch-2.6

[John Ralls]

Christian,

Your "branch-2.6" drew its first PR today, so I've deleted it to avoid any 
further confusion. Please consult with the rest of the team before you do 
anything like that again. If you'd like to maintain a 2.6 branch yourself you 
are of course free to fork GnuCash, though you should change the name and 
artwork to avoid confusion with the main project.

Regards,
John Ralls

I searched the aqbanking project's sources and you are correct the name is 
"aqbanking" without 
the leading dot on Windows (and ".aqbanking" on all other platforms). I don't 
know is this has 
ever been different in the past.

Not that I know of.

If you have made customizations for Gtk3 you may also want to backup
%LOCALAPPDATA%\gtk-3.0

That's all I can think of on Windows.

On Freedesktop based platforms (linux, Macports on OS X,...) there is still
$HOME/.config/gnucash to back up.

[GNC-dev] AqBanking Settings

[Chris Good]

Hi,

 

I'm modifying my BackupGnuCash [1] tool to cater for the new locations of
GnuCash V3.

I've also added a dump of the Registry HKCU\Software\GSettings\org\gnucash.

 

I also want to backup the AqBanking settings if possible but I don't
actually use AqBanking.

 

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_backup_my_GC_environment.2C_in
cluding_preferences.3F

says:

 

Lastly if you are using AqBanking online banking

$HOME/.[aq]banking holds your online banking settings. In older versions it
was named

.banking but .aqbanking is the current name.

 

On my Windows 10 PC I have an old (2016) C:\Users\%USERNAME%\aqbanking
folder but not .aqbanking.

Can some-one please confirm the location of the aqbanking setup files for
Windows & Linux if possible?

And any difference between GnuCash V2/V3 AqBanking.

 

Can anyone suggest anything else my backup tool should backup?

(My new version already does all %APPDATA%\gnucash).
