For years (2011?) I have used GnuCash to keep my personal accounts. A few years ago I could not open the program and had to download the new version. A few days ago again I could not open the program to update some information, and again it would not load. So I thought a

It’s because Gtk2 and Gtk3 use different paths to the accelerators. Gtk3 can read the Gtk2 paths but not vice-versa. Because Gtk2 had the ability to change accelerators from the menus (I think that was removed from Gtk3 but I’m not sure, and so I haven’t changed the logic) GnuCash writes out a

Adrien, It’s been going on a while, and it’s still there. I am using 2.6.19 and 3.1.2. It has something to do with how GTK3 handles accelerator keys (or something like that). It’s mostly an inconvenience, since there is a workaround that involves deleting a file that GTK3 creates (or something

Justin, One other comment. You do not say whether this fee is being paid to the utility company or a third party, e.g. bank is imposing it for handling the transaction. In the latter case, it would make more sense to track it separately from the charges by the utility company. If it is imposed by
