Re: [GNC] Moving from GnuCash 4.8 to GnuCash 5.5 - any issues likely to bite me?

A confirmation dialog that the Check & Repair was completed (maybe even with or without incident or a summary) would be nice to have, but I know the devs already have a full plate. Perhaps file an RFE (Request For Enhancement) in the bug tracker if that one doesn't already exist. Regards,

The Check & Repair used to be slow (minutes); somewhere along the way, there was a major improvement; it is so fast (less than a second) on my network file with 6+ years of data that I can barely see the progress bar. So, it may be running; just very, very quickly. On Mon, May 13, 2024 at 9:41

I think there were issues too with reports on Linux with NVIDIA graphics though there is a workaround and if I'm not mistaken, now also a fix. Regards, Adrien On 5/12/24 6:03 PM, Paul Kroitor wrote: You're on a Linux platform so it won't directly matter, but be aware that the Windows 5.5

Thanks David, you are always a great help. I have created a backup copy of the data file and have no scheduled transactions or business features to worry about. I’ll (ahem) assume the check and repair has run. And will proceed with my upgrade. However, this old brain would like

Phyllis, I have noticed that it is important to select the best starting point for your purpose. I would also save the file before starting. If you start from an account rrgister and select check all, it only checks all the transactions in that register. To check the entire file, start from

Just when you thought you were done with this….. I’m running 4.13 on a windows 10 computer. I have a big problem getting any reports to run properly but today it is the check and repair function. No option that I choose gives me a “working” indication. I’m trying to be proactive before

Correct. The Check & Repair should run silently automatically upon first opening your file with 5.5, but it doesn't hurt to do it intentionally. The biggest change I recall between 4 & 5 is the new type-ahead search method for the Description field. I personally prefer the change, but some
