I’ll also chime in with the following tips: The TL;DR is that unlike most other software, you are likely to only use ONE file with GnuCash. And so, you don’t need to open the file directly as you would with other software. Instead, open GnuCash and it will load your data file wherever it may

Johnathon, Just to amplify a little bit on Kevin's answers. If you are opening a file generated at home using Gnucash on your home computer, the copy of Gnucash running on your work computer cannot know where your files are located until it is has opened a file for the first time. You have to use

You don't necessarily have to update manually. The original Yahoo source has been ruined, but you can (and I do) use "yahoo_json" as a source. It's worked fine for me. As for your actual question, I'm sorry but I've no idea. I'm running on Mac OSX. People might have some inquiries about the

Now that I am manually updating my stocks monthly, thanks, Yahoo, I find that as I pull up the price history to clone a new month end entry for the symbol, I get a _*long (30 second) gray out delay*_ (on Linux, and not the newest PC) at some point in the cycle, like a premature auto save or

That’s certainly a thorough run-down on changing themes. But is there a way to edit a theme to make the button label visible? I see one could download a theme and go through all that trouble, only to find out the theme is hiding the labels. That could turn into quite a trial and error process
