Re: [GNC] Printing

2020-12-30 Thread Geert Janssens
It is indeed a known problem that invoices or reports can't be printed in flatpak. This is down to the webkit library we depend on for our reporting needs. That library doesn't support printing in flatpak unfortunately. Checks in gnucash don't use webkit but Gtk's native print code. That part

Setting XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_CONFIG_HOME will affect more than just gnucash. It also affect many other parts of the gnome or kde desktop environments. If gnucash always starts as if it has never run before, it's most likely gnucash can't communicate with gsettings. Part of the gnucash

Hi Marcus, For flatpak, that file should go into $HOME/.var/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/config/gnucash (as per https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/ Configuration_Locations#In_GNC_CONFIG_HOME ) Note though that you will probably have to update your css file to work with gnucash 4.5. Most of the

It's very likely it's something to do with Ubuntu. As I understand it while Ubuntu is gnome based, they use their own theme (Yaroo?). It's very likely that theme does something that's not compatible with the dropdown GnuCash uses for accounts in the register code. But to be fair, I could also

I have looked into this some more and filed bug https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi? id=798194[1] with more details. The proper fix would require changes affecting all users, not only flatpak users (changes to how we store our preferences in GSettings). That's probably out of proportion
