Re: [GNC] Dock Icon on Mac

[John Ralls]

Glen,

One thing you haven’t mentioned yet is what version of GnuCash you’re running.

When the GnuCash icon gets turned into a question mark or is greyed out, is 
Options>Show in Finder available from the context menu? If it is, what does it 
point to?

Check to make sure that you have only one Gnucash.app installed by running 
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister
 -dump | grep Gnucash.app

from the terminal prompt (Terminal is in /Applications/Utilities).

Regards,
John Ralls

The account is set up as type 'Mutual Fund' but that shouldn't affect
the quote source.

The quote source in the security editor is set up as Single:
Morningstar, GB.

You can try searching on http://www.morningstar.co.uk.

Re: [GNC] Problems importing credit card transactions via CSV formatted file.

[David Carlson]

John,

I have been told that the current release 3.1 of GnuCash has a greatly
improved CSV importer compared to the importer in the release 2.6.x series.
However, some of us have not updated because of certain regressions in that
release.  We are stuck with a cumbersome CSV importer.  I have noticed that
if I consistently assign the amount column of credit card accounts to
WITHDRAWAL the numbers come in with the correct sign, except for one rogue
account that does not follow the same format.

There is a list of a number of tools posted here <
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Published_tools> which includes a CSV to QIF
converter which you might find useful.

[GNC] The bank has sent balance information in its response. Do you want to import it?

[Tony Jones]

Each time I invoke actions->online actions->get transactions I am
prompted "The bank has sent balance information in its response. Do
you want to import it?"

I always select YES but it never actually imports the current balance.
I have to manually invoke actions->online actions->get balance in
order to have the correct balance show up in the reconcile step.

[GNC] Migration from 2.6 to 3.0 with mysql/mariadb

[Paul Neuwirth via gnucash-user]

Hello,
I "accidently" upgraded to 3.0 and on startup, I got the message,
database was errernous or corrupted.
Could not see any corrosponding messages on console.
Using mariadb, working great with 2.6. 
I thought, when running 3.0 the first time database would be converted?

switching to 3.0 is planned after finishing some tax stuff this month.

maybe best way is backing up database, saving to xml, import to 3.0 and
save in (new) database again?

Thank you

Paul

[GNC] exchange rate calculations

[Graham Balin]

Another problem has cropped up now.. in the investment portfolio report, 
i see this:


IG GROUP    IGG.L    LSE    400.00    £8.67    £3,468.00
LOVISA    LOV.AX    ASX    3,500.00    $12.17    £7,268.89

Note the IG quote is worked out properly, but LOV.AX has updated the 
correct price in AUD, but the value of £7268.89 is the original purchase 
price, not the current value which should be [3500*12.17]*0.57 ish


I tried entering the AUD /GBP price manually, but the report stayed the 
same as above.


As usual, any tips would be gratefully received,

[GNC] Problems importing credit card transactions via CSV formatted file.

[John Clark via gnucash-user]

One of the problems I’ve found with gnucash is in the area of importing CSV 
formatted transactions. I figured out how to do it reasonably well for my
bank statements, and now I’m turning my attention to my credit card accounts.

I’m trying to enter in data that spans several years, and I have a collection 
of CSV files. In most cases I don’t have the ability to go back and get 
the data in a different format, such as some sort of Quicken file.

When I import the translations, I use the following selection for columns.

DATE, DESCRIPTION, DEPOSIT (or WITHDRAWAL, I’ve done both)

After the file has been processed, and the screen comes up to commit the 
transactions, there are lines that are Green and Yellow. Some have the 
“Liability:Credit Card:XXX” some have “unbalanced USD” designation.

But worse, there are some numbers that are negative, and some which are 
positive. And when I do import the results, the numbers, negative or positive, 
end up scattered between Payment and Credit columns.

Since I’m trying to import 100s of transactions it is very tedious to even 
think about going through each item and correcting the negative sign, etc.

Since there does not seem to be a ‘bulk’ process for selecting a large number 
of transactions and happing the same transaction assignment on all of the 
selected items, this is a major hiccup in 
using gnucash for me.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

John Clark.

Re: [GNC] Dock Icon on Mac

[Glen Byram (Gmail)]

Sorry to be unclear. I mean, when Gnucash opens (by double clicking the App, 
not a data file), it is at the place I left off. It sounds from the replies 
like this is normal behaviour and that Gnucash doesn't particularly care where 
the file is located (In my case \Users\username\Documents\Accounts)

I believe that click-datafile-to-open on a Mac works in the sense that GC 
starts up, but it fails to load the clicked file.  I.E. GC persists with 
the 
previously-opened file used in the last session, then you have to 
File->Open.  
But I don't have a Mac and have never used one, so I may be wrong.

Hi David C,

Thanks for looking into this.

It think the differences between a developer build (from git) or a release 
build are limited only to getting the source tree set up.
For a git build that means cloning a repository and checking out the right git 
branch, for a release build you untar the tarball.

Do you think this requires a separate page ?

Thinking some more, the dependencies may drift apart between the stable branch 
('maint' in git and also used for generating release tarballs) and the 
development branch ('master' in git). So at some point the two branches may 
need different documentation on dependencies.

The only other difference I can think of is that you may or may not want the 
build to include debug symbols. That is one different option to set while 
running cmake. But this can be useful in both a user build or a developer 
build.

Regards,

Geert

Re: [GNC] Dock Icon on Mac

[Glen Byram (Gmail)]

Nope I don't do that. The only time I ever even open the .dmg file is when I 
download an update. I then drag the 2 Apps to the Applications folder 
overwriting the existing ones. TBH I have never used the Finance Quote Update 
app but copy it anyway.

My dock works fine too - with every single other app in the Applications folder 
(and Utilities and elsewhere).
When I have the 2 icons up at once, 1 active and 1 inactive, if I right click 
on them and do "Options->Show in Finder", in each case it points correctly to 
Gnucash in Applications.

The only other thing I have considered is that I open the App with a data file 
active (my personal finances). Could it be something to do with the location of 
that data file?

Cheers,
Glen

Re: [GNC] Dock Icon on Mac

[David T. via gnucash-user]

My dock works, and has worked for a decade. Perhaps you are using GnuCash from 
two places: Applications, and the dmg? I say this because the “?” could happen 
after restart if the dock item were linked to a dmg file, and the dmg weren’t 
reloaded on restart. 

Similarly, a second dock item would suggest a second executable in a different 
location—although how the dock item could reference a different executable is 
beyond me.

[GNC] Dock Icon on Mac

[Glen Byram via gnucash-user]

I am running macOS Sierra 10.12.6

I cannot get Gnucash to reside in the mac dock like other apps. I may have 
reported this issue before but I can’t find anything in gnucash-user and 
whatever solution I thought I had was only temporary.

 

1)  The normal process for placing an app into the dock permanently is to just 
drag it from the place it is installed (usually the Applications folder) to a 
position on the dock that you want.

Once this is done, you should be able to launch the app from the resulting dock 
icon. The same icon should bounce as it launches, then stop with a dot under 
the icon to show it is active.

The behaviour I see is that a duplicate Gnucash icon appears at the end of the 
dock and it is this one that bounces/indicates active app. Although 
functionally OK, I don’t want 2 icons for the same app when its running one 
instance.

 

2) I have tried the alternate method of keeping Gnucash in the dock; Make sure 
there are no Gnucash dock icons then launch it directly from the Applications 
folder. Once launched, right click on the active dock icon and select 
Options->Keep in dock. After that, I can move the icon to the position in the 
dock I want it to be. It now appears to work perfectly. Unfortunately, after I 
log out, or after some periods of sleep (not sure on the number-seems random) 
the Gnucash icon gets overlayed with a question mark indicating that the 
location of the app is now unknown – even though it has not changed and is 
still in the Applications folder. If I restart the machine when the Gnucash 
icon is working as expected, I get a grey question mark in the dock without 
even the Gnucash icon. Mousing over the grey question mark gives a Gnucash 
tooltip but of course it won’t launch as the location of Gnucash is unknown. 
The only option is to right click on the icon+question mark or question mark 
(by itself) and select Options->Remove from Dock.

 

As far as I can tell Gnucash is the only App I have that exhibits this 
behaviour. At the start, I thought I had fixed it using method 2 above. Then 
after several days the dreaded question mark appeared over the icon.

Other things I have tried include making an Alias for Gnucash and dragging that 
to the dock. It didn’t work and behaved like 1) above (duplicate app icon on 
launch).

I decided maybe the dock was corrupt so I did a reset to default: Terminal 
command; “defaults delete com.apple.dock; killall Dock”

This meant I had to rebuild my preferred dock from scratch. There was no 
difference. All other app icons behaved as expected apart from Gnucash.

 

My conclusion is that Gnucash must have a launch process different to other 
apps and/or the drag/drop to dock processing must be different.

For the time being I tend to stick to Option 2 above as I prefer a single 
launch icon on the dock. When Gnucash eventually gets it’s inevitable question 
mark I remove it from dock then re-instate it as per 2) above. But it would be 
nice to have no need to do that. It’s not urgent or a matter of life and death 
but something to ponder.

 

Cheers

Glen

Re: [GNC] Wiki:Installation/Building; was: Ubuntu 18.04

[DaveC49]

Hi Frank & David T ,

Thanks for the info re the main page. I will try and hook into the Wiki
Installation page as you suggest and have a go at making the build
instructions friendlier for general users and split off a more specific page
for developer builds. i will then link that back to the pages on the maint
and master branches, pull requests etc for mods etc. It is possibly better
to leave the building from git with the developers pages. I'll  reformulate
a version of the disclaimer for the user build pages. It will possibly be
the weekend before I get to it unless insomnia strikes

Cheers
David Cousens

[GNC] UNABLE TO RUN GNU-CASH

[Frank Crestejo (PAC)]

to whom it may concern.

Just loaded the application 3.1 into a MacPro running MacOS  10.12.6 with 8GB 
of memory on an Intel iCore i7.

Try running GNUCASH.APP - Loads OK, no error codes, and then the APP disappears 
from Dock  after a few seconds and that’s it.
Help. Or what am I doing wrong?
