Re: [GNC-dev] Preferences for Accounting Period start-date and end-date lost on 4.9 Install
Chris, Geert is right, at least for now, both because of the OpenSP failure and because the latest MSYS2 updates require a new webkit build and I haven't yet done the 64-bit one. You can't just run the 32-bit build, though, because you've installed the 64-bit dependencies. You could reinstall them by hand but it's much easier to re-run setup-mingw64.ps1 and leave off the -x86_64 $true argument. Note that I haven't tried doing this on an already-built environment. It might not work. The TARGET environment variable is read by jhbuildrc to decide which branch to build. The default is master, generally not what you want.

Re: [GNC-dev] Preferences for Accounting Period start-date and end-date lost on 4.9 Install
Hi Chris, I don't think we support building a 64bit version on Windows. Can you run your commands in the 32bit mingw64 shell (MSys2 64bit/MSys2 MinGW 32-bit) to at least avoid any additional bugs due to the different environment ? Note the name is confusing. MingW64 is the name of the project (to differentiate from an older MingW32 project), but it provides both a 32bit and a 64bit environment for development. So far gnucash has only used the 32bit environment.

The new schema is correct for GnuCash 4.7 and later.

Hi John,
I put the registry back to how it was before I ran 4.9 (my BackupGnuCash
utility saves the state of the Registry) and started 4.9 with args --debug
--log gnc.pref=debug --log gnc.app-utils.gsettings=debug (no --nofile this
time).
This did something different to last time. Now the old path
HKCU\Software\GSettings\org\gnucash\window\pages\account-tree\summary
is still correct and the new path
HKCU\Software\GSettings\org\gnucash\GnuCash\window\pages\account-tree\summar
y
exists but is empty.
The tracefile shows lots of subscribe warnings in the preferences migration
and also afterwards:

Hi Devs,
I'm trying to build gnucash-on-windows so I can find where the "subscribe"
error above is coming from.
I ran setup-mingw64.ps1 like:
E:
cd \Data\GnuCash\gcdev64
.\setup-mingw64.ps1 -target_dir "e:\\Data\\GnuCash\\gcdev64" -download_dir
"e:\\Data\\GnuCash\\gcdev64\\downloads" -x86_64
The setup seems to have worked with the exception of HtmlHelp but I don't
need to build the documentation so I've ignored that.
The build is failing when I run in a MSYS2 64Bit / MSYS2 MinGW x64 window
(not as admin):

[GNC-dev] Preferences for Accounting Period start-date and end-date lost on 4.9 Install
Hi All, I installed Gnucash 4.9 on my Windows 10 machine (was 4.4) and the Preferences for Accounting Period start-date and end-date were lost. They have gone back to the default 1/1/1970. Looking in the registry I can see they have been migrated (moved) from HKCU\Software\GSettings\org\gnucash\window\pages\account-tree\summary\[start -date etc] To HKCU\Software\GSettings\org\gnucash\GnuCash\window\pages\account-tree\summar y but the Preference dialog and the Accounts page still seem to be looking at the old keys. I set them again using the preferences dialog and now they are in both the old and new locations. After View, Refresh the Accounts page is showing the correct Total(Period) figures again. If it makes any difference, the first time I opened 4.9 it was with the --nofile arg. Should the old or new schema location be used?
