Re: [GNC] Register column sizing

I feel that the register column sizing is complicated by the fact that the register view is constrained by the requirement that the data input window has to appear to blend in to the rest of the register view. If the data input area was separated from the register view each of the areas could be

Re: [GNC] QIF format for StkSplit

gnc_numeric_create is a C function implemented in libgnucash/engine/gnc-numeric.cpp and made available to Scheme by SWIG which changes its name to gnc-numeric-create. It takes two int64_t arguments, numerator and denominator. There's a general convention that public functions defined in Scheme

Hi, I think it would be an improvement to get rid of autosizing because of the recurring issues people have with it and it wouldn't affect those users that do know how autosizing works by taking it away. On Thu, Jan 5, 2023 at 10:40 PM john wrote: > Users, > > There have been occasional

[GNC] Register column sizing

Users, There have been occasional complaints for many years about column width sizing. See for e.g. https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563588. Most users seem to eventually get used to it, but I wonder if anybody really likes it. The problem boils down to the auto-sizing behavior of the

That depends on your setting for Preferences > Accounts > Reversed balanced accounts. The default is 'Credit Accounts' if I'm not mistaken. So in that case, the more you owe, the more positive the liability balance will be. If you set the preference to Income & Expense or None, then

Re: [GNC] QIF format for StkSplit

When I was doing a bunch of Quicken conversions using QIF files, what happened was pretty much what you described here, I think. My original shares were removed in one transaction, while the split amount was added back. For example, 200 shares that needed at 2 for 1 resulted in a 200 share

Re: [GNC] another beginner question

Well, if you put your O-B on all your Assets and Liabilities, then yes, that *IS* your current equity in the company. If you think the balance is too big, then most likely you haven't added all your liabilities. Keep in mind that Income and Expense are actually Equity-type accounts, in the sense

I find variables to be extremely useful, and even use them in simple math expressions. There is, however, a UI quirk that might cause people to assume they don't work. In the simple case where the transaction includes a variable, let's say 'amt', the Since Last Run panel will prompt for the

This discussion merits a comment. ALL .csv means is an indication that the data is in a file of "records" each of which contains data fields separated by commas. It does not mean ANYTHING about what the fields mean (what sort of data is there) or what is the logical order of the fields.
