Re: Does anyone successfully use GNU Android App. If not get it off the main web site.

John, you do not necessarily have to use the GnuCash for Android app to achieve what you want. You can use practically any app that will export transactions into a .qif file. For example, I'm using Money Manager Ex for Android (to which I also contribute in development, just like with GnuCash for

Re: Subaccounts [WAS Re: Future allocated money vs Budgets]

I’m not sure I’d say ‘whatever’ the users request, certainly any software is a product of the developers and such things are their choice. Being open source as GnuCash is, if you find fundamental disagreement on that point, you can fork. But I’ve found the GnuCash developers to be very amenable

Matt, What Mike was talking about with Liabilities was with respect to ‘reserve’ or ‘restricted’ funds. In the case of non-profits taking donations that can be earmarked those funds have to be legally separated and cannot be used for any desired purpose. As well, ‘deposits’ which are

Re: Subaccounts [WAS Re: Future allocated money vs Budgets]

Agree with your other email! A program should entertain whatever users are requesting for better functionality. Of course, open source volunteer developers can't be expected to drop everything to implement "my awesome idea". Hence why I'm going to try to contibute (sigh, always need more time).

Mike, Take a look at https://github.com/codinguser/gnucash-android and the support site at https://plus.google.com/communities/104728406764752407046 if you want details/support for the Gnucash Android app. The support site which mentions the double minus signs in QIF export among other things -

Re: Fwd: Android to Desktop

Sadly no go on the export. Everything exactly the same. No values in 70 % of the transactions. Now whether this is because they were entered before the upgrade or what I just don't know. Give up for now. This is not worth the effort. Be quicker to go back to quill pens and ledger books. On

Re: Fwd: Android to Desktop

Ok so this is interesting done the upgrade. The first thing I notice is that the individual account balances are still wrong but now instead of being completely random amounts they are a signed sum of the entries, regardless of DR/CR, as opposed to correct balance on the account. I.e. positive

Android 4.4.4. GNUCASH App 2.2.1. So the blank Value fields and the fact that none , f the account balances reflect the transactions entered under the account are known issues that have now been fixed? On Sun, Jan 28, 2018, at 6:10 PM, Di Mang wrote: > Hi Mike, > which version of android app

Re: Does anyone successfully use GNU Android App. If not get it off the main web site.

I find the android app useful, exporting transactions by qif file and then bringing them into my desktop app. It is very limited, as you say. Really needs to implement proper access to the ".gnucash" files so that we can keep the two in sync easily. Pretty sure that app is also open source on

Re: Subaccounts [WAS Re: Future allocated money vs Budgets]

David, Generally yes, the basic math operations in the register are sufficient for most daily needs. I also agree that an accounting package tracks real transactions. I don’t agree that an accounting package can’t include features of financial management together with the accounting features

Hi Mike, which version of android app do you use? There was a bug in android app befor version 2.3.0 with a double minus sign in QIF and XML export files. This bug was fixed in the version 2.3.0 (on 9th January 2018). You can check it in your QIF or XML export files by searching for "--". In

Hi, I need to take the gnucash server (code) down today to relocate it and rebalance UPS systems. The total downtime should be less than 30 minutes, with MOST of that time being spent taking the system down and waiting for it to boot back up. I plan to start the take-down around 1700 US/EST,

I also noticed that after returning to release 2.6.18-3 the main text font used in the body of the register windows appears to be a couple of points larger than before, so dates and amounts no longer fit in the columns nicely like before the experiment, and less text is visible in the description

It is indeed a python package so typically you write a script. For instance, create the file test_piecash.py with the content # start of the file import piecash book = piecash.open_book("/the/path/to/your/gnucash-book.gncash") for transaction in book.transactions:

David, This is one of the key reason for piecash to exist as it does not need any compilation (it is a pure python package) and works even without having gnucash installed. It doesn't use gnucash libraries as it reads (and writes) directly to the gnucash book through SQL. I do not have a Mac so
