Re: [GNC] GnuCash 4.900 Released

I thought one of the points of Flatpaks were that they didn't require the base system to match the software being installed. If the software needs it, Flatpak will bring it in just for that app. (it won't change the base system to a different DE or WM) I could be mistaken of course. Regards,

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 4.900 Released

Lots of great improvements already and I'm sure more to look forward to. (some new reports too!) But of the list so far, my money is on this one getting the most sighs of relief and smiles: "The description field quickfill in the register now displays a drop-down list of possible

Re: [GNC] reconcile dates

Another alternative: Import one month Reconcile Repeat - But I'll add another case for including later transactions: -For whatever reason, you entered them for a later date than they really occurred. If they aren't visible, you'll think they are missing and then enter them againor

Re: [GNC] Will adding a transaction dated earlier than the last reconciliation cause a problem?

Yes, the principle of Materiality. It isn't worth spending time looking for small errors. Just adjust them out and move on. Otherwise, I'd say enter the transaction on what you think is the proper date and re-reconcile. But that begs the question, how did you reconcile without it? If you

Re: [GNC] Variables in Scheduled transactions

Glad to hear you got it squared away. I'm not sure if this has to do with my SX preferences, but I no longer get a pop-up window for variables. There is an entry field in the Since Last Run dialog to enter them. (which I have to Tab out of to commit) That may have been implemented after

As long as the change in value isn't cumulative, I would want to know. If I wanted to budget the same 'purchasing power' as last period/year, I would not want to budget the exact same nominal amount. (on that note, a feature to factor inflation for budgets would be swell!) But I do

Christopher Lamm had been working on various aspects of the Budget Report not long ago. He may be able to squeeze in a look at this. He'll likely be the one to see your bug report and maybe shed light on the math logic. If I can find some time this weekend I'll test as well. I normally don't

Re: [GNC] Is a screwed-up style sheet hiding somewhere?

Fair enough. I see you managed to clear it up with a registry edit. I did manage to get a similar looking invoice to yours by default though. That was via Reports > Business > Fancy Invoice. The other options of Easy, Printable, & Tax Invoice are more sane looking. You can change the
