Re: [GNC-dev] Tax Report Options: Payer Name Source Option
Alex, Thanks for the clarification. My example was unfortunate; my actual experience was with income accounts--precisely for dividend income accounts, for the reason you indicated. Still greyed out.

I know that it worked at some point, since I used it. Now, I cannot get it active to set. Ideas? David T. I checked with both 3.4 and 2.6.21 and it seems to work correctly. The feature is not intended to work with all TXF Categories (for example, expenses:Charity). It is intended for things like Interest and Dividends where you may have, say dividends, credited to a sub-account of the brokerage (e.g., the security sub-account, say, IBM) but Schedule B wants the total dividends shown by the parent not the payer (e.g., the broker, say, Morgan Stanley who sends you your 1099-DIV). This allows the report to collect these all together for you. (For it to work properly, all the sub-accounts need to be directly under the parent, as is pointed out in the documentation, I believe). Check under Income with Dividends to see if it not greyed out. Regards, Alex ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel

It has to make the request to A-V to know if there is a new price. So that means, by definition, GnuCash will automatically request any prices > old, whether or not there is a "new price", because GnuCash can't know if there is a new price until it makes the request.

Gtk uses NSWindows for all top levels, including dialogs, and Apple’s full-screen mode makes all NSWindows full screen. Escape doesn’t exit full-screen. View>Exit Full Screen does, but it’s disabled when there’s a modal dialog running, and the Edit Accounts Dialog is modal. I tried it out just now and found that in the case where you got wedged there are two GnuCash screens, filename.gnucash-AccountName-Gnucash and New Account-Expenses-Foo. The first is black because its event loop is stopped, but hovering at the top will reveal the menu. The other is the full-screened Edit Accounts dialog box. Clicking cancel on the Edit Accounts dialog box leaves the full-screen GnuCash window black, but one can get the view menu and click Exit Full Screen. What happens next is a bit weird: The screen stays black. Using command tab to switch to another application and back to GnuCash displays the not-full-screen GnuCash on that new desktop.

[GNC-dev] Full Screen oddities GC3.4, Mac Mojave
Hi. I have found that GnuCash 3.4 behaves idiosyncratically when using full screen mode on MacOS. When in full screen mode, GC spawns every child window as full screen as well. This is rather jarring when the window in question is a question dialog (e.g., Do you want to create a new account? Y/N). Furthermore, attempts to exit full screen mode (e.g., by pressing Escape) can cause GC to crash (Bug #797059).

Re: [GNC-dev] AppImage
Thanks a lot, Geert! This is just for my own amusement at the moment, and potentially for filing bugs if I run into any issues on my system.

Re: [GNC-dev] Two steps forward (Maybe three back)
As a last test, add the following, which will help determining which
part of qof_print_date_buff is playing up.
I think it should output ('locale 4)...

There's no reason why the dates can't be changed.
The reason dates straggling 1.1.1970 was chosen was because 1.1.1970
corresponds to time 0 in time64, and I felt that having a few negative
time64 numbers would be interesting to test sorting.
However this is a weird weirdness -- the test output shows that the
transactions were sorted correctly - 31/12/69, 31/12/69, 01/01/70,
02/01/70, 02/10/70 (in d/m/y); it's just the display that is incorrect.
Moreover the display has to go through qof_print_date which takes a
time64 and returns a string.
I'd be keen to know Stephen's build and try debug this.
