[GNC] Creating debian package

Some have asked how I create the debian packages on Ubuntu.  Someone more knowledgeable about wiki's may want to capture this in an appropriate area. I presume that the user already has an area within $HOME for their projects.  Mine is ./Projects and holds several different items like GnC. 

Re: [GNC] Version upgrade: Missing Saved Reports

Steve, Check the wiki concerning file locations for the 3.x series. Reports were moved to another location and named saved-reports-2.8 (2.8 was originally the next in the version numbering, but was later upped to 3.0) You’ll need to copy your 2.4 reports there. Unfortunately, I don’t know the

Re: [GNC] Fwd: Impossible to generate reports.

I agree that it seems like it should not have worked even then, but it did for me on a couple of machines and for a lot of other users as well. I think there is some strange kind of software leak that gets repaired by that procedure. David Carlson On Tue, May 21, 2019 at 1:18 PM David Carlson

Re: [GNC] Fwd: Impossible to generate reports.

The instructions that Derek was quoting were originally taken from a very old bug report dating back to Windows XP days. They do actually work in those older OSes, and there are hints every so often that the same bug still exists in Windows 7 and Windows 10. That is why some of us continue to

[GNC] Version upgrade: Missing Saved Reports

I upgraded to version 3.5 today. None of my saved reports are available. Under my user ID (Win 7) there is a .gnucash folder with a file named saved-reports-2.4. How do I recover my saved reports from the old version? Thanks Steve I ___ gnucash-user

Re: [GNC] Fwd: Impossible to generate reports.

I'll be amazed if that works. GnuCash has its own instance of WebKit and reports don't interact with the system browser at all, unless of course one exports HTML from the report and then opens it with the system browser. Which the OP might consider for a workaround. Regards, John Ralls > On

Adrien, I'll note that Geert's proposal only requires the user to add a switch at run time--i.e., "gnucash --extra". There is no need for the prospective report writer to recompile.I David On May 21, 2019, at 9:43 PM, Adrien Monteleone wrote: I’m in agreement there. If someone did take the

Re: [GNC] Scheduled Trans shows completed 5/8 but not in register?

That’s your main data file. (unless you’re using a db backend) Make a copy of it just in case, work on the copy. It is likely compressed. If you try to open it using an XML capable text editor, it will display gibberish if compressed, or data/info nested inside XML tags if not. Under the

It should appear right away on a re-open. If not, then most likely a different bug or a special case of the original bug. (I think the original is related to a screen re-draw issue) After firing the SX, have you tried doing a search on the raw XML file to see if the data is there? That would

Re: [GNC] Upcoming report deprecation

I’m in agreement there. If someone did take the plunge into scheme and they wanted to work on those particular reports, asking them to compile with flags isn’t a stretch for them at that point. The less clutter and cruft the better, especially for new users. Regards, Adrien > On May 21, 2019,

I'd think that it would be worthwhile to have a good set of debugged and documented gold-standard reports. There are far too many reports (*guilty as charged*); with many overlapping and many obsolete ones which become hard to work on because they make assumptions upon the data and are incredibly

Re: [GNC] Upcoming report deprecation

I am not a fan of keeping reports that *no one uses* included in the application, on the offhand chance that some new user might decide to learn scheme and the gnucash api to write a new report. As noted in the bug, this has not been a particularly common occurrence.  Geert's solution is a

At this point, after reopening accounts a few times with no result, I have entered the transaction manually. We'll see how things go I guess. I'd say its certainly a bug. On Mon, May 20, 2019 at 12:45 PM Adrien Monteleone < adrien.montele...@lusfiber.net> wrote: > The lack of auto-refresh I
