Eric,
I started out the same way, using gnucash for personal books and added my sole
proprietorship business activity at a later date.
Like you, even if I setup a new business bank account, I’d invariably have some
expenses that would involve apportioning part of the expense to business side
Eric
i have a similar setup. My accountant explained that apart from keeping books
seperate i have to make sure that the income , expenses are clearly segregated.
Obviously it is difficult when starting a new business, so i had multiple
cross expenses. To streamline the process, i created
hi Thelma
i tried recreating your use case both in windows and linux, but both of them
are working as expected.

Hello Gyle!
It's not that hard to install and run two (ore more) gnucash versions
in the Windows environment side by side. Just rename the gnucash program folder
to e. g. "gnucash 5.1-15 nightly" (or any other name that seems appropriate).
Then start a different gnucash setup. A new "gnucash"
If the new version could be installed alongside the current version and data
files kept separate, I for one would be happy to enter my transactions in both
the new and old to test the new. However, since the warnings are to not use
for production or live data, I don't test the new. I wouldn't
Precisely because I am a retired pro, I have not worked on development
in this volunteer environment.
See, my experience was in a different environment when we had end user
commitment to the project. By which I mean end user TIME. Not "I want"
but "I am willing to commit to the end user part
I've been using GnuCash for personal expenses and for a home-based hobby
business for the past several years now. I'm about to add another
business activity which will be more serious (I'm self-publishing a

I think Geert puts the issue clearly in highlighting the need for more
testing, a weak spot in any open source software. This is even more so with
gnuCash because we are dealing with critical financial data, both in terms
of the importance of testing but also the challenge since we don't want
Thank you Geert, for a considered response and reminder of the limitations of

I can imagine that it was disheartening for the dev team to be met with so
many bugs and so much vitriol over the issues some use-cases found with the
5.0 release. I can also understand
I really shouldn't answer this, but it's too painful to read...
Perhaps the user's expectations are too high for a volunteer project such as
gnucash. It's
true, things go wrong. Especially with major releases which typically have

I agree with the sentiments WM expressed; I have had the growing feeling
from reading the emails that pet projects are worked on in isolation to the
main.
It kind of reminds me of a model railway exhibition I once went to many
