Re: [GNC] Edit problem

[john]

Yeah, FYI the balancing code deletes the trading splits and recreates them 
because getting a transaction with trading splits to balance incrementally is 
way too hard. You don't need to delete the transaction and start over (though 
that certainly works), you can just delete the trading splits and fix up the 
other splits. Tweak everything so that there aren't any little gray squares. 
Make sure to use the amount entry in the exchange rate section of the transfer 
dialog and let GnuCash calculate the price: Doing it the other way just gets 
you into rounding hell.

John Ralls

Re: [GNC] Security timezone

[john]

Nope. Whoever implemented that 20 years ago didn't hook it up to anything and 
nobody has since. Maybe because the implementation itself isn't very useful. 
It's saved as a string, and only  "Asia/Tokyo", "Australia/Sydney", 
"America/New_York", "America/Chicago", "Europe/London", or "Europe/Paris" are 
available. To apply it to a time would require conversion to a gmtoffset.

But once you had that what would you do with it? Quotes almost never have a 
time on them. I guess you could apply a rule that says that if right now is 
between 0900 and 1600 on the indicated date (quotes do usually have dates) in 
the security's time zone then that's the time of the quote, otherwise it's 1600 
in that timezone on the indicated date. The quote display would have to be 
tz-sensitive too. I'm not at all convinced that doing all of that would 
materially improve anything, and implementing it would be a lot of work.

John Ralls

Re: [GNC] Unsaved Book

[Adrien Monteleone]

You cannot double-click a file to open it on MacOS. You have to launch 
GnuCash then use File > Open. Once that is done, GnuCash will 
automatically open that same file next time you start the app.

I'd check the Wiki about obtaining a Tracefile. (and/or run GnuCash from

Then attempt changing a preference and see if any messages appear in

Good Day,









I hope this email finds you well.





I am having some issues with my GnuCash program. Whenever i try to start/open

Please Assist. Your urgent response would be much appreciated.

Re: [GNC] gnucash 5.0 register color settings don't save

[Vincent Dawans]

I meant to say you have to search within the dconf-editor.

So install it first. Assuming Mint uses the same command as Ubuntu: sudo
apt-get install dconf-editor

The run dconf-editor and search for alternate in there to find
the alternate-color-by-transaction setting.

Re: [GNC] gnucash 5.0 register color settings don't save

[Vincent Dawans]

From the wiki https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations I get
this information:

Most of what is found under Edit->Preferences and a few extra ones are
stored in  [GSettings] . GSettings itself doesn't have a particular
location to store this information in. Instead it relies on "backends" to
do this on its behalf. Which backend is used depends on the platform:
Linux - pristine: dconf - there's no file location associated with this,
data can be viewed or edited with dconf-editor. For advanced options see dconf
help.
So it looks like you have to look why dconf isn't saving and returning the
correct settings?
In my case, I installed dconf-editor (it wasn't installed by default) and
then after running it, I did a search on "alternate". It returns the
setting in 2 locations. Only the second one is correct for version 5.0, the
first one was for older versions prior to 4.? -- you can see the path is
different. So check on your end as well what dconf is storing.
org.gnucash.general.register alternate-color-by-transaction false
org.gnucash.GnuCash.general.register alternate-color-by-transaction true

Re: [GNC] gnucash 5.0 register color settings don't save

John, are you referring to the "double mode colors alternate with
transactions" option under Edit-Preferences-Register?
If so then it works fine on my version 5.0 compiled on Lubuntu 22.04. For
me, there is a "Close" button on the dialog at the bottom right that saves
the changes, same as in version 4.13. See attached screenshot.

I  know what I would do if faced with the problem of trying to keep 
multiple currencies in one set of books and every now and then having 
small out of balances resulting from conversions involving splits that 
do not seem to all add up.


I would create a special account (probably under assets  but there are 
alternative choices0 with a name like "conversion rounding errors".


When there was a "parts not all adding up" situation like this, I would 
enter a debit or credit (whichever needed) to this account to absorb the 
bit that was not adding up. If these "errors" were on both sides the 
account balance probably would never become significant. If the "errors" 
tended to be one-sided I'd probably every so often have an adjustment.


Why do you expect that books involving multiple currencies will be 
"exact"? Over time? (exchange rates are not constants).In real life 
conversions between currencies you aren't even always getting the 
official rate.

Thanks David H.

I had never mastered it before, but playing with the column widths in light of 
your email, I now see how to get it to do what I want..

Re: [GNC] Cannot adjust right-hand column widths

[David H]

The Description column is a special case in that it auto re-sizes to fill
the available width.  Always work from right most column (i.e. Balance) to
the left most column.  Double click each header in turn to size the column
automatically OR drag the right hand side column header delimiter left or
right to adjust the column width.  When you are happy with all other
columns then either double click the Description column header or left
click and hold the right side delimiter and drag it sideways  a couple of
cm's then just let it go to trigger it to auto adjust one final time.

Just place your mouse on the description and start clicking. I believe
after the third or fourth click it will adjust.

All columns can be resized except Description. This means that the

Re: [GNC] Edit problem

[Adrien Monteleone]

Can you force the USD Trading split to be 53.49?

I seem to recall a bug related to this a few months ago. I thought it 
was resolved, but you might have to delete and re-enter the transaction.

Re: [GNC] Norton Utilities prevent FQ installation

[Ruaraidh Sackville Hamilton]

In case it helps others, here's an update:

I've worked around the problem by (1) downloading
https://strawberryperl.com/download/5.32.1.1/strawberry-perl-5.32.1.1-32bit.msi
manually from my browser (Norton utilities did not block this) and (2)
editing the installation script install-fq-mods.cmd to skip the download
and go straight to the installation of Perl. Success: "This is perl 5,
version 32, subversion 1 (v5.32.1) built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-64int"

Then the next problem. Despite the above success message, the script exits
with "Found perl version 0.0, but GnuCash requires at least version 5.8.".
I opened another cmd window, entered "Perl -v" and got the same success
message above. Conclusion: I do have Perl 5.32.1

I worked around this problem by running perl -w gnc-fq-update in a new cmd
window, followed by gnc-fq-check and gnc-fq-helper. And the Security Editor
no longer warns me that finance::quote is not installed.

Looking good!

Re: [GNC] Security timezone

So, does it matter what Timezone I pick for a security in the Security
Editor?
In particular, "Use local time" versus "America/New_York"?
