Re: [GNC] Import bug? no account matching options

2019-09-27 Thread David Carlson
I am confused about Account ID vs Transaction ID as used in this thread. They are not the same, and transaction ID would not be used for account ID purposes anyway. I have Chase OFX files that have Account ID's but no transaction ID's that, so far, have imported fine for me, except I never

Thanks Adrien for your reply. Yes, in Windows, the financial data file (e.g johndoe.gnucash) is easily saved in the location of choice. What I want to work out is how to relocate (migrate) the user data files (particularly the 'saved-reports' file), which in my Windows 10, are in their default

To be clear, that variable is not for your accounting books, (user data files) that is for things like user prefs, CSS or .ini based UI customizations and saved report configurations. If all you want to do is move your data file, just move it. And since you are on Windows, you get the luxury

Hi For easier backup, I wish to relocate my user specific application data in the default directory to another directory on my PC. My operating system is Windows 10 and I’m using Gnucash v3.7. Documentation suggests this can be achieved by creating an 'environment.local' file in the same

David I am running GnuCash 3.7 built on Linux Mint 19.2 from the tarball download and I don't experience any of the problems you are describing with editing the Description or Memo fields in a transaction in an account register or in the General Journal tab at all. They change and are saved and

Sorry John, tried to reply; but lost in the maze of nabble vs user and got rejected. As mentioned earlier, I've got tax season and really don't have time this week to debug troubleshoot - maybe next month. My comments are only to be viewed at the 20,000 foot level anyway - my overall

It's possible that when you first started importing this data, GnuCash didn't initially recognize the source of the data so you needed to tell it which GnuCash account to import the data to. At this point, you may have selected a sub account of the account you actually wanted. Once GnuCash

As for further punishment, I unloaded via synaptic the old 2.16.19 version and gave it a go with Ronal's idea of using the sickylife.ppa load out. After cleaning, I loaded the ppa and installed - no problems - no errors. 3.7 still force closes on touching the files. Unload it, remove PPA,

Hi, Thanks for the suggestions and some more definitions about QIF and CSV importers. Bottom line for me on my LM 19.2, other than the QIF importer none of the other techniques work on my Win or Linux machines. On my linux box, the program itself did not work although I did get a clean cmake
