Re: trial balance - how to find mismatch question

At least on my version of the Trial Balance report, there is no ‘Imbalance entry’ specifically. There is at the bottom, the Imbalance-XXX and Orphan-XXX accounts listed along with the others. There is also a line for ‘Unrealized Gains’ or ‘Unrealized Losses’ (I have the latter, even though

Re: Scope of GNUCash

I have always assumed (without purpose or thinking about it) that Gnucash was "supposed" to be a "financial management" program, rather than more strictly an "accounting" program. So my original question was to clarify which it is supposed to be. (And if this has been answered, then I have

Re: Scope of GNUCash

Hi Matt Thank you very much for documentation efforts. FWIW I still prefer virtual transactions which are ridiculously easy to generate, and to keep up to date. The challenge is not technical, but it's the mindshare. I've sat through YNAB videos long enough to understand how it works. It is

Re: Scope of GNUCash

90% agree with you Chris! The last 10% is because Im still yet to try it for myself in ledger (probably next weekend). Since GNUCash doesnt implement them, I am thinking Ill just have links to the plain text accounting pages, giving users other reading to do it outside of gnucash Thanks and

Preference question, issue or not?

Hi, While I was working out why setting 'don't use gnucash color themes' was being reset after every restart of Gnucash, I added a print statement to gnc_prefs_get_bool which resulted in loads of output related to the preference 'show-leaf-account-names'. Used the glib backtrace function to work

Re: trial balance - how to find mismatch question

Adrien, I am glad that you took the time to research how the report works for the data you were able to provide to it. You have found some valid concerns. I had not looked at that report for quite some time. As another user with a lot of stock trades, I sometimes use that report to find an

Re: trial balance - how to find mismatch question

David, Adrien,  I, too, have encountered many discrepancies in my books with the Trial Balance report. I was not able to hammer them out. I gave up, and rely on brokerage reports for gains, and assume that the imbalance in the report is due to my incomplete understanding of the principles

Re: trial balance - how to find mismatch question

I like the way this is going. Please describe or file minimal data file cases in Bugzilla. Perhaps I'll be able to decode the trial balance and we can decide then what it should really do. On 16 Feb 2018 19:20, "David T. via gnucash-devel" < gnucash-devel@gnucash.org> wrote: > David, Adrien, >

Docs build failure

Hi, I finally fixed the docs build to properly build doxygen.cfg now that the Makefile.am is gone in master, but then last night (the first run since I made the fix) I get this error: warning: tag INCLUDE_PATH: include path `${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/libgnucash/engine/' does not exist warning: tag

[MAINT] Planned 1-minute network outage today at 0930 EST

Hi, There will be a short (approximately 1 minute) network outage around 0930 EST in order to rewire the router and other core network devices into a UPS. You should not notice anything, and the network should come up quickly, but I wanted to give a warning that this was going to happen today.
