Re: [GNC] Finance::Quote
Thank you Maf, The very first thread led me to the answer. Simply a matter of adding a ".AX" suffix to the share code! How I struggled to resolve the matter prior! As always the solution is simple.

Ok, do you think you could still find the trace file gnucash generated the first time you started gnucash 3.x ? Where to find trace files is described here: http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile Secondly, the first time you ran gnucash 3.x did you get a pop up window explaining you your metadata was being moved to a new location ?

Re: [GNC] Saved Report Configurations Missing After Upgrade to v3
Hi Geert, The old saved-reports-2.4 file was found in the %USER%\.gnucash folder. None of the 3.-variations you mention apply here. When I located the 2.4 file, I backed up the new 2.8 file to take it completely out of the picture, then copied the 2.4 file over to %APPDATA%\GnuCash to see what would happen. If nothing, I figured I'd rename the file from 2.4 to 2.8, but it worked with the 2.4 name. Is this alright? Will it cause problems later? Is there a better way? A little history on this installation. I'm not sure I'd remember the initial installed version, but it was back in the fall of 2016 when I installed GnuCash on Windows in whatever manner the installer prescribed as the standard install. I LOVE the true double entry accounting GnuCash allows over the typical one-sided manner in which most financial programs (e.g., Quicken, et al) provide. My only disappointment has been in the reporting formats. Not so much what is in the reports or the ability to customize them; that's all perfectly acceptable. It's the overall report styling. I don't understand why on the Income Statement, for instance, there's a small font "Net Income for Period" line following a large, bold "Total Expenses" line. The formatting is whack, and I just don't see an easy way to correct it or any resources to teach me how. (Know of any? Please share!) That got me thinking that, since MySQL was an option, I could just ODBC in with Microsoft Access and potentially use it's report writer to generate prettier reports than I know how to make within GnuCash. I never really got to report designing in Access, but it sure got me over some initial reconciliation pains! But regardless, and for better or worse, I left the backend for GnuCash as MySQL. When I upgraded to 3.x, that is the environment it found itself upgrading. I'm slipping out of scope on the OP topic here, but (in the Windows environment, if that matters) what is the best practice for data storage? Am I setting myself up for problems using MySQL? Has my use of MySQL contributed to the missing report situation on upgrade to 3.x?

Re: [GNC] gnctimeperiod-utilities.scm. etc.
I've added the 3 files gnctimeperiod-utilities.scm, transaction.scm and config.user to /home//.gnucash (Linux Mint, GC 2.6.12). Under the reports tab, I see 2 entries labveled "transaction report" - both seem to be identical. Running one of them gives me the result I needed (summary totals by description field for a period of time). The other does the exact same. And I noted a bug - I cannot set it to the previous year's start and end dates in the options dialog. It always reports only the current year.

Re: [GNC] Reconcile Problem
Hi Gareth. Welcome to the list. With the account register open, click on the "view" item in the menu bar, then in the dialog that opens click on "filter by". Then click on "status" in that menu bar which opens a selection dialog. Clear the checks from all but "Reconciled". Then click on OK. Putting a check in the "save filter" box will make the selection persistent from session to session, otherwise the filter will revert to the default (all categories selected) the next time you open the account register. You'll have to set the filter for each account register individually. Ron Morse.

I can confirm this works fine as I'm using the same book on Windows and Linux machines, synchronized via Dropbox. The book itself is an sqlite database. Probably, if you used a MySql/MariaDb instance, all the workstations in the organization could connect to it seamlessly. I am not, however, using any custom reports in GnuCash. These used to be stored in user's profile directory and would have had to be copied to other machines.

Before that we were aiming for 2.8 as a natural follow up for 1.8->2.0->2.2->2.4->2.6. The release numbering scheme was changed, but we omitted renaming the saved- reports file. Tom, out of curiosity: where did you find the old saved-reports-2.4 file ? Normally gnucash does migrate the metadata to %APPDATA%\GnuCash on the first time you run a gnucash 3.x version from %USER%\.gnucash. I can imagine a few situations where that won't happen: 1. %APPDATA%\GnuCash already exists 2. Can't create %APPDATA%\GnuCash (in which case the trace file should have a warning) 3. %USER%\.gnucash doesn't exist A variation of 3. can be that you changed the HOME variable in the gnucash environment file or you have set GNC_DOT_DIR to point to another directory. In those cases the migration will never happen and the user should do this manually.
