Hello,
In trying to deal with compiling the documentation, I have been trying to use
the newer “make” methods for building the html docs. I am wondering why these
commands create the output in a new directory within the language
trees—respectively, “gnucash-guide” and "gnucash-help”. I don’t
OK, so I thought it would be nice to look at the changes I am implementing in
the documentation in PDF format, since I am rather old school, and like to see
the changes in a print format.
I went to the wiki, and followed the new directions there to try to compile pdf
documentation.
First, I
The typo came about because threw the changes back together quickly before
dinner
I adopted option 1, and it seems to have worked. Not sure how this is any
better.

Updated as requested. My commit message includes the full output of "xmllint
--valid --noout gnucash-guide.xml”
BTW, this sort of experience is yet another example of why I find this overall
process to be inordinately painful. Some docbook guru will probably know
immediately why this fails,

/Library *is* meant as a system-wide (OS-level) storage location; Mac software
seem to like sprinkling these settings in the various locations, regardless of
rights.
Finder is one of those major oddities, I believe; searches there are often
incomplete.

I would think the file would be generated for each user on first run, but John
will have to chime in for the definitive answer.
The main /Library/Preferences I think is ’supposed’ to be for the OS so I
wouldn’t expect to see it there. Though I see on mine I also have an entry for

It shouldn’t. Did you try
Odd. How would GnuCash access that on a different user login?
Just for completeness, I checked in /Library/Preferences as well, but did not
find org.gnucash.Gnucash.plist there.

John,
Thanks for the detailed information; out of curiosity, where on a typical Mac
filesystem will this setting be stored?

Interesting. And good to know there is such guidance for new users on first run.
I got both mac and linux to fire the dialog with the --nofile option.
So a bug in gnc_get_file_to_load()?
Any trace or something else you need to see what it’s returning?

Adrien,
The new user dialog opens if there’s no file to open and a preference hasn’t
been set; running the dialog sets the preference. It offers to run the NAHSA,
the QIF import assistant, or to run a new user tutorial (which actually just
opens the T at the table of contents).
To see it on
Just tested in a Xubuntu 18.04 vm.
I got the tip of the day overlaid on the splash screen. I closed the tip
dialog, the splash screen disappeared and the main GnuCash window appeared.
It’s blank save for the menu and two buttons, one to save the current file and
one to close the currently

There’s a “Welcome to GnuCash!” screen? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it. I’m
going to test in a vm and see what happens.

Adrien,
I just tried using a new login on my Mac to run a newly-downloaded copy of
GnuCash, and I also found myself staring at a blank screen after startup.
Having just worked on the documentation for the “Welcome to GnuCash!” screen, I
am curious to know *when* that screen actually runs?
I was going to mention this in my reply to David Cousens but didn’t want to
hijack the thread.
The greatest source of confusion I’ve seen from new users personally is the
blank screen you see on first run with no indication what to do next. (unless
this has changed with 3.x, I haven’t started
Hello,
Having raised yet another ruckus on the lists regarding documentation, I will
back off altogether, and work to write documentation on the assistant as it is,
taking care to balance the needs of the different user groups.
My only final comment is to note that it is unfortunate that this

It's not in my repo because I couldn't get it to compile. To get it to compile,
I had to incorporate the content of each file into ch_basics.xml.
AFAICT, the new files, ch_importing.xml and ch_configuring.xml, are in my repo,
attached to my bug-796855 branch. So are ch_accts.xml and
