Re: [GNC] latest gnucash release (3.1) feedback

You can tailor the colors and fonts to your liking using a custom CSS file. I’m not sure what you mean by ‘layout’ but the new Gtk+3 version does have more padding in many areas. I don’t think this is easily changeable, but it might be possible. I’m not sure what is causing your flickering

Re: [GNC] Tax Report Options not working

I cannot say whether version 3.x is different as I have not tried that, but in the 2.6.x versions it is necessary to use the tax report options configuration to assign a tax form, line number and copy number to each tax worthy account individually before it will appear in the Tax report. Since

[GNC] Tax Report Options not working

Hello, I am using v3.1 of GNUCash and I am try to set up the Tax Schedule Report and cannot figure out why I cannot get the report to run and give me the expected data. The message I get is the following: Period from 2018-Jan-01 to 2018-Dec-31 Tax Year 2018 Tax Entity

[GNC] latest gnucash release (3.1) feedback

I have been using Gnucash for a while now on a OSX laptop.  So far I have been satisfied with all its nuances.  However, this latest release I am more than unhappy with.  I don't know if my issues are the same between all OS' but as for my Mac I have gone back to v2.6.19-1. What I do not like

Did VISA debit cards do somethin' to you as a child, why are you pickin' on them (that reply is to no one in particular, only the thread, so pleeze, no one get defensive)? A debit card [to me] is a non-existent entity, it has no business having its own "account". My schwab checking account has a

Dennis, The debian distributed GnuCash is compiled for SQL as well as XML, you just need to install the appropriate additional package(s), usually libdbi, libdbi-drivers, and mysql-client, pgsql-client, or sqlite3. For building you need to have one SQL backend installed so that the tests work.

David, When I was looking at my version of the file, I too considered those GUIDs. You might be on to something. I would think it possible to parse the datafile for those ids and see if they still exist and what they point to. I’m thinking of a script that checks the ids in the saved-report

Re: [GNC] new v3.0 install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

I have no idea If I install gnucash from the official repositories ie apt get install gnucash, would a database be included in that installation? It seemed in order to do the build I needed a database backend. So I chose that one. Otherwise from just a general user I don’t use a

Adrien, Thanks for the reply. I already looked at the files. This has happened twice, once about a year and a half ago, and once last week. When it happened first, I assumed a glitch in my machine, and focused on recovery. This is incident number two. So, there's no opportunity to discern any

Re: [GNC] Handling VISA Debit Accounts

In my experience (admittedly limited), a debit card is a means to extract funds from an account—not an account on its own. Considered this way, it is simply a variant of a check, or of writing a withdrawal slip and handing it over to a teller (for those who remember those days). There is no
