Your explanation was what I had in mind when using the term ‘reasonable’. I also have a MacBook stuck at 10.6, but I certainly wouldn’t expect the dev team to keep supporting a 10+ year old OS. (2.6.x can run on it anyway) Thanks for the info. Regards, Adrien > On Aug 27, 2019 w35d239, at

How about: ‘report amounts as YTD’ If ‘Year’ isn’t necessarily a consistent concept, then something like you suggested, ‘report/use accumulated amounts’ would work. I can play with it soon. (as well as test the First Day of Week fix) Now I guess I just need to set up a build workflow for Mac.

Good question. I’ve never used that location, and have not otherwise seen any recommendation to use it for a single/local-user installation. I’ve seen people recommend to recreate the official tree under ~/ (~/usr, ~/usr/local, ~/usr/bin) which doesn’t make much sense to me, or something else
