Re: Accounts Capicity

Bevan, I haven’t heard of anyone “exceeding capacity,” so I doubt that is your problem. What operating system, what version of GnuCash? Has anything else changed on your system? At what point do you discover you can’t enter data? David > On Dec 1, 2017, at 9:39 AM, Bevan Twidale

Re: recover GNUcash data after windows crash

Ian, Gcm files are not your data files. They are metadata files. Similarly, the “.gnucash” folder is the system folder that holds this metadata. Your data files (AccontsBusiness.gnucash and Personal.gnucash) are somewhere else on your backup. Put those on your new machine (not in the “.gnucash

Re: Unable to open 2nd set of accounts on one MacBook Pro

John, I know you and the other developers are doing huge service to the rest of us with your work. I truly wish I had the skills that allowed me to help with this; years of attempts have shown me that this is beyond me, however. Thank you all. David > On Nov 25, 2017, at 9:32 PM, John Ralls

Re: Unable to open 2nd set of accounts on one MacBook Pro

This has long been an issue with GnuCash on the Mac, such that most of us have simply gotten used to it. I will add something to the wiki FAQ shortly. It has been entered as a bug (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761024 ), so it has

Re: Unable to open 2nd set of accounts on one MacBook Pro

John, GnuCash on the Mac ALWAYS opens the last file it had open—even when you double-click on another GnuCash file. This is a long-known issue with how the Mac handles the GnuCash startup. File->Open will get you to your second set of accounts. David > On Nov 24, 2017, at 8:00 AM, John

Re: Alphavantage quotes working through F::Q, not through Gnucash

I’ll assume that you mean /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/environment (note the lower case ‘e’; case matters in MacOS). If not, then that will be the problem. To run gnc-fq-dump, you need to be in /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin David > On Nov 12, 2017, at 7:10

Re: API Key

Les, Dave, Thanks for airing this out a little more. I had not succeeded in getting this to work, mostly because I didn’t understand the FAQ, which tells us to add the environment key to "/etc/gnucash/environment where prefix is:” in one spot, and then says

RE: Can gnucash add Virtual currency?

Technically, adding bitcoin as a security isn't the same as adding it as a currency,  which the OP requested.  Gnucash bases its currencies list on the ISO standard, which does not include bitcoin. That said, treating it like any other commodity should work, except that the ongoing valuation
