[GNC] Backup and restore GnuCash Settings

Hi All I have recently made a back of my home directory on a fedora 27 pc and then i restored it to a new installation on fedora 28. I was expecting to open Gnucash and continue working on my latest Gnucash file and also have all my settings in place but this was not the case. Running Gnucash on

Re: [GNC] Backup and restore GnuCash Settings

I am not an expert on Linux, so do not quote me here. I think that GnuCash puts the settings in a hidden folder under your user directory. Does your backup program also back up the hidden folders? David C On Wed, May 16, 2018 at 10:00 AM, Nikos Charonitakis wrote: > Hi All

Re: [GNC] Backup and restore GnuCash Settings

Fedora version 28 installs Gnucash 3.0.1.something if you use the version in the Fedora 28 repository.  Not sure which version is in the Fedora 27 repo, but I'll wager it's one of the 2.XX releases. RBM On 05/16/2018 09:00 AM, Nikos Charonitakis wrote: Hi All I have recently made a back of

Re: [GNC] Backup and restore GnuCash Settings

As a long time Linux user and having used GnuCash for several years I can tell you that your GnuCash settings are in a hidden file in your home directory: ~/.gnucash You didn't say how you made your backup so, as David asked, did you back up your hidden files. If, for example, you used `tar`

Re: [GNC] Backup and restore GnuCash Settings

Since Firefox stores user prefs in $HOME/.mozilla, I’d be surprised if .gnucash didn’t get backed up also, unless the OP used a custom command and .mozilla was specifically included and .gnucash wasn’t. But if this were some sort of backup app and it was set to backup hidden files, then

Re: [GNC] Backup and restore GnuCash Settings

Was this the order of operations? #1 Upgrade/Install new OS version #2 Restore backup #3 Install new version of GnuCash If #2 happened before #3, perhaps the GnuCash install is overwriting the restored .gnucash folder with a fresh copy. Does restoring just that folder again from the backup

The first workaround is to get version 3.1. I think the ofx import showing no transactions problem was fixed prior to the release of 3.1. -- Dave Reiser dbrei...@icloud.com > On May 16, 2018, at 11:23 PM, eNews wrote: > > I've tried importing .qfx files from downloads

Re: [GNC] No file showing up at "Generic import transaction matcher"

Do you mean that you cannot find the folder where your file is located after starting the import assistant or something different. There is a known bug that that windows version cannot find mapped network files. If that is your issue you will have to either wait for release 3.2 or copy the

Re: [GNC] Report "Future Scheduled Transactions Summary" shows old values

I presume you’ve got the report dates and book dates set correctly, but are those scheduled transactions still marked as ‘enabled’ in the editor? I don’t have any expired SXs to test, but I was able to get my current set to individually appear and disappear on the report by checking and

Keith, The SQL backends are having a few issues at the moment. It would be a good idea to search the list here and also to look over the bug reports on Bugzilla. I originally used MySQL when I was running an Ubuntu box as my daily machine, but changed to XML when I moved to MacOS, and then

[GNC] No file showing up at "Generic import transaction matcher"

I've tried importing .qfx files from downloads from two different banks: Chase and USAA. No files are showing up on the Generic import transaction matcher, so I am unable to import transactions. Why is GnuCash not importing .qfx files in Version: 3.0. Build ID: git 3.0+ (2018-04-01)? Is

The upgrade fixed the issue. Since I just got GnuCash, I thought I had the most recent version. A good lesson for me. Thank you. On Wed, May 16, 2018, 8:34 PM David Reiser wrote: > The first workaround is to get version 3.1. I think the ofx import showing > no transactions

Re: [GNC] No file showing up at "Generic import transaction matcher"

Although locating the file proved difficult for me (a matter unrelated to GnuCash ), that was not my issue. After installing v3.1, I was able to import files. Before the upgrade, the Import "box" was blank/empty. Thank you for help. Kate On Wed, May 16, 2018, 8:38 PM David Carlson
