Re: [GNC] Ghost Equity Accounts

Hi David, let me try to explain, but Ralf may correct me: An new account property "Opening Balance" was introduced to avoid some other problems. And each book needs (at least) one account with the property set. While you created the account, the program could not find such an account and created

Hi Mike As a workaround, if you structure your accounts like this: Person01 --SecurityA --SecurityB --SecurityC Person02 --SecurityA --SecurityC --SecurityD Person03 --SecurityA --SecurityD --SecurityE etc You can save a separate Advanced Portfolio report for each person by using the Options

Re: [GNC] Hand-over on Succession or Short Term Absence

Michael, The location of the saved reports files is OS dependent. Full infor on the location sis given at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations although it takes a bit of sorting through but I think the saved reports are in USER_DATA_HOME.They are on LInux Mint 20. See also

Re: [GNC] Autofill Oddity

It was introduced in 4.0 and described in the release notes like this: • New type-ahead search added to sequential search when selecting an account in the register: Instead of typing the first few characters of a top level account, the separator, the first few characters of the next level account

Re: [GNC] Autofill Oddity

Apparently the feature to filter accounts described by Robin is something that I do not see in release 3.8. Is that described somewhere in the Help manual? On Thu, Apr 8, 2021 at 1:42 PM Robin Chattopadhyay wrote: > This happens to me under Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as well (Under several Gnucash >

Re: [GNC] Autofill Oddity

This happens to me under Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as well (Under several Gnucash versions up to 4.4, it started around the time the feature to filter accounts was introduced instead of the previous way of starting at the top of the tree). I have worked around this by clicking the drop-down arrow in the

[GNC] Autofill Oddity

Hi, GnuCash 4.4 under Windows 10. Long time user. Recent releases have included an update to the Autofill feature, which generally is a good thing. However, others have reported strange hitches using the new feature under Windows--situations where the register hangs and the application

[GNC] Advanced portfolio report - same stock in multiple investment accounts

Hi everyone, I am using the advanced portfolio report for tracking multiple investment accounts for family members, less than 20. One major issue I am having is that reporting can be done only by "account" which is the security and no information about account hierarchy is available in the

Re: [GNC] Ghost Equity Accounts

Frank, We should keep this on the list. I've read through this bug, and a related bug mentioned in the comments there, and I admit I do not understand the various points of the discussions there. If my experience can be explained by these changes, though, I'd like to point out that in my

Re: [GNC] When Do Account Totals Update When Updating Prices

Jack, I don't exactly have an answer to your question, but I find that such mysterious behaviour goes away sometimes when I do View->Refresh. For instance, when I am switching datafiles, sometimes the accounts page shows all totals as zero (I am on Ubuntu GNC 3.10). All totals reappear when I

Michael First, good luck and hope all goes well. Second, you can 'describe' a custom report by the following process. This uses the gnucash-cli tool. $gnucash-cli -R list This will list all built-in and saved reports, the latter denoted by a 'C'. e.g. * Account Summary * Advanced Portfolio

[GNC] Find by Value No Longer Seems to Work

Hi, I've been using GnuCash for years and generally found it to be excellent. In the past, I have never had any problem with using the Find feature. Now, however, when I try a find-by-value, nothing is ever shown in the results. I enter *Value -> has credits of debits -> equal to -> AMOUNT* and

[GNC] Hand-over on Succession or Short Term Absence

I’m shortly to undergo surgery, and although I expect to be home in three or four days, it’ll be several weeks before I’m fully up and running again. As a retired doctor, I’m well aware that bad stuff can happen during or after surgery. As well as managing my personal accounts, I’m treasurer
