Thanks; I haven't played with GnuCash Portable, and I don't know if that would help do beta testing. On Thu, Dec 28, 2023 at 4:35 PM Fred Bone wrote: > On 28 December 2023 at 11:05, R Losey said: > > [...] > > Since I've been on this mailing list (much less time than I've been using > >

Re: [GNC] GnuCash getting worse?

Noted, but is that really the case in 5.4 where a process was left running (in Windows), causing problems for GnuCash users? That didn't seem to be related to externals. And the bug in 5.5 where Scheduled transactions don't work with variables, or crash the system -- that seems to be tied to a

Re: [GNC] GnuCash getting worse?

That's fine, and I ponder upon what I wrote, I think that "worse" was not the best word... GnuCash is adding some nice features and I enjoy it very much... A better word may have been "more bug-ridden". I don't remember having as many problems with releases until this year. On Thu, Dec 28, 2023

The LCK (lock) file is created when GnuCash opens to prevent, via warning, someone else (or you) attempting to open the file twice at the same time. (GnuCash does not support simultaneous file access) When GnuCash shuts down normally, the lock file is deleted. When GnuCash crashes, the lock

If you are already running Windows 10/11 with an existing Pro, Enterprise, or Education licence (but not a Home licence) then Windows Sandbox is an easy way to create a (temporary) Virtual Machine, and it only requires 4GB RAM and 1GB free disc space. You don't need a separate licence.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash getting worse?

I'm fairly certain you can create a VM of a running instance of Win10 though I can't speak to how that works for licensing. MS does allow some testing VMs, so perhaps investigate that first and how to set it up to their liking. Another option might be a container like Docker, though I'm not

Re: [GNC] Strange bug in Reports after upgrading to 5.4

This sounds like a time zone issue. Long after 2.6.12, at least one bug was discovered where some transactions ended up with an 'internal' date different than the displayed date due to certain code with respect to time zone interpretation. You might have more transactions off than just those

Andrew, I could be mistaken, but I think Google dropped support for such advanced searches a few years ago. DuckDuckGo still supports it as far as I can tell. - As to your issue, I could also be mistaken or confused with another feature, but I think auto-interest (not "auto-asset"—that

A quick note to say that I have to disagree with the getting worse proposition, and to express my thanks to the volunteers that make it possible. GnuCash is great.  There aren't really any other open source alternatives that have all of the pieces together.  Native Linux support, complies

Hi R Losey, Your concerns are appreciated. As a currently non-active developer I was a bit sad to see the struggles of the two most recent releases. I know the current devs do what they can though. Their issue is not a lack of money. It's less available time in a shrinking pool of
