Certainly I'd trust what John says over what most others say.

Re: [GNC] Use 4.14 and 5.6 on same file (at different times)
Richard, it is the conventional wisdom to consider each major release to be like the tire deflators at the parking garage exit. However, John is one of the primary developers and he would know if this was an exceptional time when it would be ok to back over a major release barrier. That said, there are a variety of issues such that some features may not work correctly in one release or another, as discussed at great length here.

Re: [GNC] Use 4.14 and 5.6 on same file (at different times)
I just a very similar question a little while ago (I ran 4.x on Linux and 5.x on Windows & iMac). At that time, they recommended that I use the same major version everywhere, so I used flatpack to bring my Linux system up to 5.x.

Slightly different thinking required for GnuCash In general, let's say you have Expenses Travel Accom Excursions Flights Insurance but to break things down by destination, move to using Expenses Travel Dest1 Accom Excursions Flights Insurance Dest2 Accom Excursions Flights Insurance Then again, unless your trips to more than one spatial destination overlap in time, and you often find yourself in two places at once, maybe limit your reporting by the start and end date of each trip? Another way to do "tagging", although you might actually lose some visibility, depending on how good your report writing is, would be to create a "placeholder" Equity account for each Destination, as the "tag", so Equity Dest1 Dest2 and make each Expense be a Split containing the actual Tcategrory amount, say to Accom, plus a Zero amount TXN to, say, Equity:Dest1 That way, when you look at the TXNs in the Equity:Dest1 account register, you would at least have all Dest1 TXNs grouped together, although they'd all show as "Split", in the register, unless you turned on View->Transaction Journal and even then you would still only be viewing the categories, not really collating across them. As I say though, I'm even less sure whar any of the standard reports, made against that account structure, would produce. Finally, although it's been ages since I did anything with the Business parts of Gnucash, maybe there's a way, using its Customer and Invoice functionality, to overlay a form of "tagging/compartmentalisation" on top of transactions. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
