Hi Lorrie, I suggest you create a "GnuCash" folder in your "Documents" folder and copy your gnucash files there - that way your log files don't clutter up your desktop. Cheers Dave H (newly transitioned Mac user :-) On 21 October 2017 at 08:47, Lorrie E Clemens wrote: >

OK, so I removed the Gnucash that was in my applications folder and mover the Gnucash-2-6.18 in. I double clicked on that and I get the Gnucash window that pops up the the small window that says free accounting software. But I still get that the file/URI/users... cannot be found. I tried

Hi First, when you click on gnucash-2.6.18, you should drag the gnucash app to your /Applications folder. Then double click on the /Applicstions/Gnucash app. The error you see is because it was trying to load the file from your desktop, but you moved or removed it so it can't find it. You

For individual invoices you should already be able to see columns for quantity and price per line item. As for a report that consolidates this data across various invoices - no, you’ll need to modify or write a new report, or save the invoices in html, parse the line items to csv, and then use

Odoo is another option. It’s open source, and free, but they do try to talk you into buying their hosted version. (there is a Turnkey-Linux version which you can spin up quickly to play with using VirtualBox or VMWare) It’s probably more beast than you need though. On that note, check out the

I too would be interested in the mystery solution. Personally I use the 24hour time without a separator—e.g. 5:32pm becomes 1732. To distinguish times from other numbers I use “T” at the end, thus: 1732T However, this breaks if there are actual numbers to enter like from a check. I have so few

Lorrie, With regard to the files on the desktop, David Carlson's advice is sound. As for keeping the app on your computer, I suspect that you were opening gnucash from the downloaded disk image; you must drag gnucash.app from that image into the Applications folder to complete the installation.
