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

Since I anticipate using the Android version mainly to enter day to day cash and bank transactions, I think 1.5.5 could work for me if it were easier to navigate. I could live without stocks or scheduled transactions in the Android version. In fact, I could even live without direct access to income and expense accounts. Yes, I will make modifications to the program so that it first tries to parse the SXs. But if it fails, it will just revert to 1.5.5 behaviour and ignore scheduled transactions completely. I feel this will be a better balance. I noticed in release 1.5.5 that the split transaction display was confusing because the 'goes intos' plus the 'comes out ofs' do not add up to zero. they were identical from the perspective of income and expense accounts, which is fine if shown correctly. I personally think that the source register that the split transaction is viewed from should not matter at all. I wish the regular Gnucash worked that way. I do not think that I should be required to open up

But the database upgrade is in a one transaction, which means it either succeeds or fails (and the old data is kept in tact). Can you tell me what device you're using and what Android version?

I remember a few years ago trying to identify a template but I either got lost in the nesting or I was not sure which UI(is that the term?)references were germain. oh if I could have an example that would be great! Template transactions are very similar to normal ones in the file, the difference is where they are located.

Since I anticipate using the Android version mainly to enter day to day cash and bank transactions, I think 1.5.5 could work for me if it were easier to navigate. I could live without stocks or scheduled transactions in the Android version. In fact, I could even live without direct access to income and expense accounts. Yes, I will make modifications to the program so that it first tries to parse the SXs. But if it fails, it will just revert to 1.5.5 behaviour and ignore scheduled transactions completely. I feel this will be a better balance. I noticed in release 1.5.5 that the split transaction display was confusing

Re: GnuCash XML sched-xaction split amount formatting
Ngewi, Can you provide a Preference for the Locale which would allow the user to select either the Locale in use on the Phone (the default) or another Locale of their choosing if they happen to be using a different Locale on their PC - perhaps with an explanation that this affects only Scheduled Txns ? Cheers Dave H. On 29 April 2015 at 23:03, Ngewi Fet nge...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Geert, Thanks for that info. That puts us in a tight spot. Now GncA could either: - skip scheduled transactions completely (not desirable) - parse the wrong amount and let the user edit it later (I am less inclined to do this) or - fail the import completely (which is what happens now and will make the import feature less-than-useful for many) . One solution that comes to mind though, if I could reliably know how many decimal places are included in the amount, then I can parse it irrespective of the separator. Does GnuCash always use 2 decimal places, or does this depend on the currency, or something else? But then that also leaves the issue of GnuCash choking on XML files exported by GncA because we cannot predict what locale the user will be using. Best guess will be to use the mobile device locale and hope that the user has the same setting on the desktop! Regards, Ngewi F.

The SX amount formula is stored in gnucash in the locale that is active at that time. This has been a poor design decision (more like on oversight probably) at the time. It gets worse if you change locales afterwards because gnucash doesn't store the locale information itself with the formula and hence can't convert the stored formulas to the new locale, resulting in errors when these formulas have to be parsed. This has been reported as a bug [1] which hasn't been fixed yet so far. I'm not sure what you can do on the gnucash-on-android side to properly handle this if gnucash itself even doesn't.

David, Go to www.gnucash.org and scroll down about half a page to the Gnucash for Android section - it's just off the bottom of the screen on my monitor. Click on the Info and Development link which will take you to the README for the app at https://github.com/codinguser/gnucash-android/blob/master/README.md. If you click on one of the blog links or just go to http://www.codinguser.com/ for the blog home page you will be able to read some of the blog postings which will give you more of a feel for the app and how to use it. There is also an Android Import Guide from 2014 on the blog home page - http://www.codinguser.com/2014/03/gnucash-android-account-import-guide/ I seem to recall that the version prior to this latest beta will also read my gnucash xml file directly and I was able to just import that the last time I played around with the app. I won't be upgrading to this latest beta for a week or so as I have some transactions I need to export from my phone and import into gnucash proper on my desktop.

Of course while fixing any issues that arise in-between the different phases. Attached to this email is a properly signed apk file which you can install on your device. You can just download the attachment and install or build your own from the sources in the develop branch (very easy to do with Android studio). This is a pre-beta release so please **BACK UP YOUR DATA** before installing it. Notable highlights in this release include: - Improved recurrence options for scheduled transactions - Basic reports generation (with bar, pie and line charts) - Scheduled export to SD Card, DropBox or Google Drive - Improved creation of backups and restoring of backups - Improved reliability of account imports and db migrations - Numerous bug fixes and improvements I would like to thank Yongxin Wang and Oleksandr Tyshkovets for contributing significantly to this release. This release also adds automatic logging of crashes and errors to Crashlytics which helps detect errors and improve the stability of the app. This logging is enabled by default in pre-release builds but will be turned off in production releases (with an option to enable it later). Also, GnuCash Android now produces GnuCash XML which can be read by GnuCash on the desktop (YAAAY!!) - There is a new XML export UI option and also as backup format .gnca *NOTE: *please remember that this is NOT a two-way synchronization*.* However, the compatibility now enables you to start working on a file on GnuCash desktop, open it in the mobile app, edit and save (to DropBox etc) and then resume editing on the desktop. Each time you save, a new file is created but the workflow is possible. GnuCash Android also registers itself to open .gnucash files. Accounts, transactions and scheduled transactions are the only features supported at the moment. If your desktop file contains more features (budgets, customers etc), these will be ignored completely. All the same, I am excited that we have arrived this point and continue to look forward to new features and further integration with GnuCash desktop! So please try out this pre-release and tell me what you think. Cheers, Ngewi P.S. Now is the time to send in translation for strings, or create a new one if your language is not yet supported.

I don't remember if I've tested that. It does hang reliably on Win7 and 8. I can test on other Win versions tomorrow. What I'm unsure about is the blanket not working on Win which is clearly too broad. If you (not any individual) wanted to screw acceptance of gnc then the co-incidence of POTM and actually, it doesn't work on Windows is getting on for perfect storm stuff in non-acceptance terms :( Wm, Don't waste your time. I can replicate the problem and I'm actively working on it (and have been for over a month). That it's a wide-spread problem is amply attested by the 8 duplicate bug reports we've closed on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738477. No one says it doesn't work on Windows. We say 2.6.4 has some problems on Windows, Windows users should use 2.6.3. I'd think the impact on acceptance is far worse when users download 2.6.4 and it's broken. As for POTM, meh. We're on that list two or three times a year, and AFAICT it makes no appreciable difference to download rates.

My Google search was inconclusive. I should clarify my earlier comment. I have been wanting for quite some time to test many of the other bug fixes and new features that have been incorporated into the 2.6.x releases, and I feel that now I can temporarily live with the chart rendering problem while testing other issues, so I am now starting to do that. I am finding that 2.6.4 is noticeably nicer than 2.4.13. When I suggested that other venturesome Windows users might try it, it was intended to be taken in that context of testing other features. I have also done some limited testing in a couple of flavors of Linux and seen good results, but I have not been able to get my network set up properly to move copies of files between machines easily. That is mostly a problem of getting the various machines to talk to each other, which has just resisted all my efforts to date. It is supposed to be very straightforward setups on both the Windows 7 machines and the Ubuntu, Debian, or even PC-BSD machines, but I keep hitting walls. I cannot even get the Windows 7 homegroup feature to work between the two Windows 7 machines. I am about ready to substitute a different router. I feel much better now after getting that rant out.

I'm using V.1.4.0-beta2 version of the app you posted earlier today on a variety of android devices - Samsung Galaxy Tab running Android 2.6.35.7, ASUS Transformer TF101 tablet running Android 4.0.3 and a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 running Android 4.4.2 and don't seem to have an option to import transactions anywhere ? I've been able to import the account tree after a bit of a false start. I forgot I had to export the account tree in xml format and exported the csv format file first time around :-( Importing it on android just gives a fairly unspecific error message - an error occurred importing the GnuCash accounts. Perhaps you could change the Import GnuCash Accounts to something like Import GnuCash Accounts (XML only) or something similar as a reminder to those of us that are doing this rarely? Cheers Dave H.

Re: Announcing GnuCash Android v1.4.0-beta1
Hi Again Ngewi, Thanks for the feedback. So just to be clear if I want to import the accounts and transactions to your app I just copy the compressed GnuCash xml file as is to my android device via dropbox and import from the app ? Thanks Dave.

The Import GnuCash Accounts feature just now handles the files better. I'm using V.1.4.0-beta2 version of the app you posted earlier today on a variety of android devices - Samsung Galaxy Tab running Android 2.6.35.7, ASUS Transformer TF101 tablet running Android 4.0.3 and a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 running Android 4.4.2 and don't seem to have an option to import transactions anywhere ? Just import accounts as usual and the transactions will come along. I've been able to import the account tree after a bit of a false start. I forgot I had to export the account tree in xml format and exported the csv format file first time around :-( Importing it on android just gives a fairly unspecific error message - an error occurred importing the GnuCash accounts. Perhaps you could change the Import GnuCash Accounts to something like Import GnuCash Accounts (XML only) or something similar as a reminder to those of us that are doing this rarely? You're right. I will look to make it clearer that XML is the supported format for import. And maybe provide a more descriptive message when something goes wrong. Cheers Dave H. Thanks for the feedback!

Re: Using a Networked Drive with Ubuntu for GnuCash Data
Perhaps you need to check out mounting network drives in Ubuntu - search for mount network drive in ubuntu for lots of answers. Once you have it mounted you should be able to run GnuCash on Ubuntu and then do a file open and browse to the network drive I would think ? Cheers dave H.

I use a home network and I store all my data on a network drive so it is available for all my devices. GnuCash works great with the network drive in XP. The network device folder is mapped as a drive letter. When I try to start GnuCash in Ubuntu, it appears my only option for storing my Gnu Data is on the local PC. I am a complete noob, so if I'm missing something please point me in the right direction.
