Re: [GNC] two copies on the same computer.

2020-01-25 Thread David Cousens
The main problem, at least on Linux, is that the user configuration files are shared between two intsances which means saved reports, customization etc are shared. If each data file requires separate customized reports etc., it may get a little confusing. I have never had any interactions between

Whether the application files are placed in /opt by MacPorts, or /Applications by the user has no bearing on the location of the data files. Those are usually placed in the user's folders. On January 26, 2020, at 11:44 AM, Peter West wrote: This doesn’t sound right. I use MacPorts, and

This doesn’t sound right. I use MacPorts, and MacPorts puts all if its files under /opt. I haven’t seen ant references on the MacPorts mailing list to /opt being reserved under SIP. Peter -- Peter West p...@pbw.id.au …he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had

Hi, David. Do you have any more information on the strange things that can happen? I've done a bit of managing two different files on the same computer at the same time recently, so I'm wondering if there are things I should go back and check. Thanks, Ray On Sat, Jan 25, 2020 at 8:19 PM David

Gary, It's easier than that. You can have as many data files as you want, kind of like when using Libre Office. The biggest restriction is that you should only have one file open at a time, else some strange things can happen . David Carlson On Sat, Jan 25, 2020, 9:53 PM Gary Stewart

It might be worth asking why OP is using /opt for their data files in the first place. It is more usual for users to place their personal files in the /users hierarchy (i.e., ~/). On January 26, 2020, at 8:33 AM, Bruce Schuck wrote: It seems that maybe the /opt directory tree is being

It seems that maybe the /opt directory tree is being restricted by what OSX called System Integrity Protection. Try following the steps to turn off SIP here: http://osxdaily.com/2015/10/05/disable-rootless-system-integrity-protection-mac-os-x/ If not, please open a terminal window and supply

Good news both of them came thru :-) Looks like Gnucash can't save files to the folder you previously saved to - Catalina enforces some sort of permissions on folders these days. Check System Preferences >> Security & Privacy - click on the Privacy tab and scroll down to "Files and Folders" and

I tested the theme I wanted to use by copying all the GTK3 related files from the theme into the Gnucash config directory (~\Appplication Support\Gnucash\config\gtk-3.0 on MacOS). It worked fine, but as expressed elsewhere, the Register Header formatting was immune to all but the background color

Gio, There is one problem that does occur with importing multiple currencies associated with the price that I am aware of. If the price is expressed as a rational number i.e. one integer number divided by another integer number or 1+ a rational number, GnuCash sometimes does not appear to parse
