[GNC] General accounting question about Assets = Liabilities + Equity

2020-01-14 Thread Brandon Captain
Hello, I have a rather general accounting question in regards to the Assets = Liabilities + Equity formula, and how it relates to the other GNUCash default accounts like Income and expenses. Those accounts are neither assets, liabilities, nor equity. So I'm not sure how to factor them in - unless

[GNC] Scripted price editing and adding

2020-01-14 Thread Raymond Smith
Hi, Gnucash list. I'm interested in using a script to add and edit prices in my Gnucash file. For example, I'd like to (a) loop over a file containing historical price data and add prices for dates where the price is missing because I didn't do a quote retrieval in Gnucash that day (b) loop over

[GNC] storing password when using mysql backend

2020-01-14 Thread Fourhundred Thecat
Hello, I am using Gnucash 3.4 with Mysql (MariaDB) backend. Every time I start Gnucash, I have to type in the mysql password. The way I see it, this seems more like a security theater than a real security. Normally when Gnucash is using xml backend, files are stored locally unencrypted. I see

The problem could be the theme file(s). Have you tried more than one? From multiple sources? I use GnuCash on Catalina daily. I’ll see about trying a theme test, but I probably can’t get to it right away. Regards, Adrien > On Jan 14, 2020 w3d14, at 8:30 PM, farleykj wrote: > > Yes, I've

Yes, I've been through the Wiki a few times. Put the files every place it recommends, and to no avail. That's why I asked what someone's actual working configuration was. I guess there must be something botched up on my system. Oh well. As for the other stuff, I thought I "replied all" on any

Oh, I get the markup formula, it was where GnuCash is supposed to get those numbers that was throwing me off. Reading the manual a bit more seems to indicate this was designed to only be useful with the chargeback function, which is still confusing to me and I think is very limited to how it

Bruce, I can appreciate frustrations, but toning down the exasperation and seeking help for specific issues will likely yield the results you’re looking for. Also note, GnuCash is ‘free’ as in ‘free beer’, it isn’t a product you paid for. (and even those don’t guarantee any fit or usefulness

To answer the first part, no, you cannot style the header bar as far as I can tell. You can affect register transactions with fonts and colors only as noted in the wiki and the sample css files. But I don’t see any id’s or classes exposed in the inspector to target the header by itself. (there
