[GNC] Customizing appearance of parent accounts only in Accounts tree

Hi all, I'm using Windows 11 and GNUcash 5.4 I'm wondering if there is an easy possibility of highlighting parent accounts only, by text size, bolding and/or coloring, to make them stand out when scrolling the accounts tree? *Tony Vanson* *The older I get,* *the better I was*

Re: [GNC] Navigation through chart of accounts: shortcuts or bookmarks?

I'll add that the workflow for Find Account is: 1. CTRL/CMD-I, which brings up the Find Account dialog 2. start typing your search text, in this case "500" (without the quotes) and hit ENTER to search 3. the result is a list of matching accounts. Use the up/down arrow keys to highlight the

Re: [GNC] Navigation through chart of accounts: shortcuts or bookmarks?

Numbering is likely the way to go for the closest workflow to what you are using now, but there is also a 'Find Account' feature that might work for you as well. However, it will take more keystrokes. Regards, Adrien On 12/1/23 8:25 PM, Art Chimes wrote: I've never numbered my accounts. This

On those machines it certainly *still is* a nice feature. Yes, some small businesses still use 40–50 year old adding machines. Why? Because they still work and are always at hand. You don't have to open an app with 'features', you just do quick math. (and yes, some companies still manufacture

I've never numbered my accounts. This seems like a useful workaround for me. I'll try it. Thanks! On Fri, Dec 1, 2023 at 8:58 PM David Carlson wrote: > > I have assigned account numbers to the commonly used accounts so I can sort > by number and find the one I want quickly. > > On Fri, Dec 1,

I have assigned account numbers to the commonly used accounts so I can sort by number and find the one I want quickly. On Fri, Dec 1, 2023, 7:15 PM R Losey wrote: > On Fri, Dec 1, 2023 at 5:08 PM Art Chimes wrote: > > > I have a pretty large number of accounts, and there is name > >

Re: [GNC] GNU Cash not performing math functions correctly on entry [SOLVED]

Years ago - like in the 60s and 70s, there were adding machines - things that were replaced with what we now call calculators - that had a ‘feature’ - in some case the only mode of operating - that the decimal point was assumed two to the left of the last digit. This was a great time saver -

Re: [GNC] GNU Cash not performing math functions correctly on entry [SOLVED]

I assumed that with auto-decimal on, entering "6" means ".06"... if I want .06, I'll enter ".06", so I don't want this. I always assumed it works this way in the calculations, too. On Fri, Dec 1, 2023 at 1:40 PM Adrien Monteleone < adrien.montele...@lusfiber.net> wrote: > Indeed, I'm not sure

[GNC] Navigation through chart of accounts: shortcuts or bookmarks?

I have a pretty large number of accounts, and there is name duplication. For example, I might have a S 500 index fund in my brokerage account and another one in a traditional IRA and maybe yet another one in a trust account. My usual strategy is to open up the Accounts tab and type <500>. That

I will update the bug report as I did a git pull for 5.4-117, did the build and all works as expected. I'm going to presume fixed between patch 62 and 117. On 12/1/23 13:34, Adrien Monteleone wrote: Might be something in a dependency in 23.10. I can report it also works fine on MacOS.

I wouldn't be in favor of a blinking tab. And if it were implemented, I'd for sure want to turn it off. But there might be some other effective method. Other than what was described in the bug report about directing you back to the uncommitted transaction explicitly, I can't see a path to

Re: [GNC] GNU Cash not performing math functions correctly on entry [SOLVED]

Indeed, I'm not sure how it worked for me earlier, but it is failing for each type of operand. It seems the code for auto-decimal is occurring with each numerical entry, rather than the final result. I'd call that a bug. Regards, Adrien On 12/1/23 12:52 PM, Fred Bone wrote: On 01 December
