Peter,
You [re]discovered a quirk of GnuCash that it is possible to leave a
transaction having an uncommitted pending edit, then edit the 'home' split
line from a different account of the same transaction by deleting the
'home' account. GnuCash then automagically commits the edit and it

If you open the Asset register in auto split register ( View->Autosplit
register), select the transaction and then right click on the split to the
Orphan AUD account you will get a popup menu one of the entries of which is
Delete Split. If the split to Orphan AUD was the only split other
Is there a simple way to reword the warning to say that a lock file is
present thus some instance of GnuCash has either abandoned it or is not
finished working with the data. If you are sure that it was *not* opened
by another user or still opened by yourself on another screen or computer

I found a transaction in Orphan-AUD. It was a split, and the Orphan component
was zero. Maybe I had forgotten part of the split, and then corrected it,
leaving nothing in the Orphan-AUD account.
I wanted to remove this transaction from Orphan-AUD. As I recall, I tried to
remove the Orphan line
Hi,
I should clarify that when I mean transactions I am referring to double
entries. Each business transaction, from the e-commerce stuff I do, outputs
on average five double entries: one each for sales, commissions, shipping,
coupons and so on.
So 500k double entries would yield around 100k
Except that the file was closed immediately after completing the session load.
GnuCash will rename it and write a new one if you have made changes to the book
in memory and tell it to save those changes or let it auto-save, but you can
certainly close the session and so delete the lock file
Rizwan,
I am intrigued. You say you're a new user, but you have 500,000 transactions.
Wow!
You've been getting the usual kinds of responses to your question: how fast is
your computer, how many reports are you running, be patient, don't close
Gnucash, etc.
But it sounds as if you're pushing

Hello all,
I am using the import transactions feature to import sales data into
gnucash.
This works brilliantly. If you do it once then gnucash recognizes the same
account descriptions with subsequent imports and automatically remaps
correctly.
Currently I have two sources of sales data
I will check. Thanks for the suggestion.

It seems like there used to be an option to encrypt, or zip the working
file when it's the default xml type. If that's still an option, and is
enabled, it could cause a delay relative to the file size
Kind regards, Greg Feneis

I do not believe it is a hardware issue as this is a new PC. I am running
gnucash on Win10 and reading from a, relatively slowish but still very
quick, local NVMe SSD.
I am using the default file types. Does it make a difference if I change?
If so to what other type and

I don't usually keep reports open so I do not believe it is a reason. Also
I recall on an occasion where a report tab, that was kept open, took time

not opened by another user, click 'Open Anyway'. Otherwise click one of

If your workflow can handle it, either close all tabs except the Accounts tab
