[GNC] Color selector in Chart of Accounts possible bug

2018-05-15 Thread David Carlson
Using Windows release 2.6.19 I discovered today that the eyedropper color selector in the Account Editor in the Chart of Accounts window seems to only select various shades of grey instead of the correct color. Unfortunately I cannot test this in release 3.0 or 3.1 because I am not ready to

For all the Windows users who've been inconvenienced by being unable to use the File Chooser to navigate to other drives, I've uploaded a new gnucash-3.1-2.setup.exe, sha-256 426e9a8d0f6542486052733171aa33700da061b0af23101b2b42dac141e6fafe, which resolves the problem. Regards, John Ralls

Rufus, The date issue is handled by the suggestion offered by Kate. You need an intermediary account. I assist a family business with their books and we use both an ‘undeposited funds’ account (for checks received) and a ‘check clearing’ account to handle these ‘in-transit’ states until the

Adrian I can see where using the check number might be reasonable. Just not what I have done so far and it looked "strange". I'll try it, since having the check number of a deposit front/center is all to the good. I think my original feeling was that I wanted to quickly, at a glance, tell which

I guess the only questions left would be: Are/were there any reports left open, or only the Chart of Accounts? Was the file location moved or was it opening and saving from the same place as 2.6.x? What backend are you using? Is it the same as with 2.6.x? That should narrow down as many
