The latest shouldn’t be hard to find at all, the links are in the announcement 
that leads http://www.gnucash.org/news.phtml 
. Since we’ll be releasing 2.7.2 next 
weekend it would be good to know if there’s still a problem. If 2.7.1 crashes 
please file a bug report as soon as you can with as much detail as possible—a 
stack trace would be ideal.

Re: I applied payment to wrong customer

[Nelson Handcock]

I think there's a couple of ways...

1) Delete the payment from the account and re-enter it

or

2) Find the payment in the account - then choose "Assign as payment" from
the context menu and select the correct customer.

Hope this helps!

Re: Gnucash 2.7 on Windows

I assume that you know that 2.7 is is a pre-release version, I would call
it an alpha or beta version, not for production use.

That said, I thought that the developers had updated it so that it did not
crash instantly in Windows.  Be sure that you have the most recent build.
It may be a bit hard to find.  I personally am not testing it myself.

I applied payment to wrong customer

[Tim Quinn]

Hi.

I looked but did not see (or recognize) this same question asked.

Using 2.6.18 I incorrectly processed a payment to the wrong customer.

Can I easily recover from this? 

In my mind, I need to “unapply” the payment from the wrong customer and apply 
it to the correct customer.

Any help, or pointers to this same question posed a different way, would be 
welcomed.

Thanks.

Had anyone got some success in running the gnucash 2.7 binaries on Windows?

Re: Gnucash doesn't open in High Sierra

[Adrien Monteleone]

Peter,

While you won’t need the fix if you install a newer version, here’s what that 
instruction means for your future reference:

the “/“ separates folders(directories) in a file path. So 
“/usr/lib/libz.1.dylib” is identifying a file named “lib.1.dylib” in the folder 
“lib” which is in the folder “usr”. Since “usr” is preceded by a “/“ this means 
you will find “usr” at the base level or root of the filesystem.(drive in your 
case)

The instruction is telling you to copy this file and place the copy in the 
folder ‘lib’ which is in the folder ‘Resources’ which is in the folder 
‘Contents’ which is in the folder ‘Gnucash.app’. (which is in the folder 
‘Applications’ - applications on a Mac are essentially folders with a special 
.app extension and are conventionally stored in the Applications folder)

If you open Finder and click on the shortcut for your HD (probably labeled 
‘Macintosh HD’ if you used the defaults when installing) you will see several 
folders, most likely:

Applications
Library
opt
System
Users (not the same as ‘usr’)

The ‘usr’ folder is hidden normally because it contains important system files 
that you don’t want to delete. There is a way to make it visible to perform the 
fix, but as noted, you won’t need this, just install the most recent version of 
Gnucash. I’ve been updating Gnucash each release for several years and I’ve 
never had a data problem, but I  always have a backup (using TimeMachine) just 
in case.

Your files will reside in a folder with your name which lies in the folder 
‘Users.’ This ‘home folder’ is what will usually display initially when you 
open Finder. (you can change this in Preferences located in the Finder menu)

You can search in Finder (top right of the window) for “.gnucash” which is the 
Gnucash file extension and you should see your data file appear. You may see 
lots of .gnucash.log files as well. The data file will be the one with a 
Gnucash icon. You have several options here if you want to copy it.

You can left click the data file to select it and then from the Edit menu 
choose “copy”, you can use the keyboard shortcut ⌘-C (that’s command-C), or you 
can right click the data file and choose the “copy” entry.

You can also go to the containing folder itself and perform the copy there. 
From the search window, left click the data file and you’ll see the file path 
appear at the bottom of the Finder window. You can also right click the data 
file and choose ‘Show in enclosing folder’ which will open another Finder 
window straight to that folder which contains your data file.

Once you have it copied, you can then ‘paste’ it wherever you like. You can do 
this again, from the Edit menu, by using the keyboard shortcut ⌘-V (that’s 
command-V), or by right-clicking on an empty space in the target Finder window 
and choosing the “paste item” entry.

You can also copy and paste in one move using a thumb drive. Open two finder 
windows, one set to the location of your data file and the other to the thumb 
drive. Drag the data file from the first window to the second. This will copy 
the file to the thumb drive. Plug the thumb drive into the other Mac, open two 
finder windows, one for the thumb drive containing your data file copy and the 
other to a location of your choice inside your home folder. (I store mine in 
Documents/Personal/Finances) Drag the file again, this time from the thumb 
drive Finder window to the other one and the Mac will copy the file to that 
location. You can then delete the copy on the thumb drive if you like as well 
as on the original Mac if you choose. I would be sure to open the copied file 
in Gnucash and make sure everything looks like it is still there before 
deleting those copies.

If both computers are running, have wifi and are on the same network, you can 
likely see the ‘other’ machine from Finder. Open two Finder windows as above 
but this time have one open to the location of your data file and the other to 
the intended target folder on the other Mac. You can then drag the file and it 
will be copied.

You can also find the exact location of your data file from within Gnucash. 
With the file open in Gnucash choose “open” from the File menu. Gnucash will 
display a window for you to choose a new file to open. (you won’t be doing that 
though) Look near the top of this window and you’ll see a series of rectangle 
buttons in a row. This is the file path where the currently open file is 
stored. Click the cancel button to close this window. This method is very 
helpful if you have multiple ‘books’ or data files, store them in different 
places, and want to know where a particular currently open file is located.

All of that may sound very involved, but computers give you lots of methods to 
achieve the same result. Just use the one you are most comfortable with. Hope 
that helps.


Regards,
Adrien

That fix is only needed if you're running an old version. The easier solution 
is to download the latest gnucash for Mac which no longer requires that fix.

Copying it to another computer requires knowledge of where the data file you 
are using is stored. If your only goal is to get gnucash running again, just 
install the latest version on the High Sierra computer. If you still want to 
move it to another computer, we'll need to figure out where your data file is 
installed. I'm not at a computer with gnucash installed right now so I can't 
check how to tell that.

HTH,
Dave
