Back in the day when I used Windows fairly regularly and before Windows 7 (i.e. Windows XP or Vista or even earlier days) when it may have been installed into a 32 bit computer, it was fairly common to see Windows using special foreshortened names to fit into the 32 bit file system without

Barry, In this message you state that ' administrato' is the good name to use but you do not say whether that is the username that you log into your computer with from a cold start or whether you are still logged in as administrato when you start Gnucash. When you start Gnucash do you get a

Barry, A file attached to an email can be of any type -there is generally no requirement on the type of file to attach. Whether the recipient can then open it depends on the software they are using. Most of the common image formats (.jpg, .gif, .tif, .png etc) which are compressed bitmap images

Thank you Adrien for a) being so patient, and b) reacting properly to the unnecessary comments. Somewhere, way back, it is my impression that the requirement for attaching to posts had to be in jpg format, is that the case, or will a vanilla screen scrape do?? From this message that would

That's mostly my fault on the 'administrato' vs. 'administator' issue. But I only kept typing that because Barry reported a file path at one point with that spelling, and I wasn't certain of a possible different language in use, so I didn't correct it. If Barry transcribed the file path

You do not need to do anything with the gnucash files to send a screenshot. We DO NOT need you to send the actual gnucash files. You can't copy/paste images here. They are removed. You have to ATTACH the screenshots. What mail application are you using to access this list? Regards, Adrien

Thanks to all. On the issue of rights, I have never had any issues before this saga, so should I assume I have had 'rights' to save documents under administrato?? When you say 'truncated' does that mean you cannot see the CaptureWiz images?? I have had issues all along with Gnucash needing

Your last message was truncated before the salient part, but I suspect that you do not have rights for GnuCash to save files in administrato user space. You need to unscramble which username is your 'standard' username and put all your user files including other types from other applications such
