If it changes the way the s/w operates then that is a feature changed.
Some feature will be different after the update, therefore it is a
feature change.

There is no point voting for it here.  The version packaged in Debian
is down to the Debian administrators and whoever packages it for
Debian.  But I can guarantee that you will not get the principles of
the Debian release policy changed just for Gnucash.

If you update using one version does it update automatically in the
other?  If so then they are the same file, but accessed via different
routes on the file system.

If Gnucash did bugfix releases which were purely bug fixes and did not
change features then those could be incorporated into the Debian
release.  So for example after 3.8 if there were 3.8.1 which just
fixed bugs then that would be ok.  The rule is that users must be able
to upgrade to the latest version in the repo without risk of finding
that the the software has changed under their feet.  However, to do
bugfix releases is a lot of work for the developers as they then have
to maintain two versions of the code and they have more important
things to do.

What file?  If you mean an accounts file it should save to wherever

To reinforce Geert's suggestion of trying other themes, on Ubuntu the
Ambiance theme gives vastly improved spacing on tabs (at least when
they are down the side, don't know about across the top) so it is well
worth trying other themes before delving into the depths of DIY.

find yourself helping others and putting a bit back into the

The first digit is the major release number, so the current major
release number is 3 and the next major release will be the first one
starting with 4.  The second digit is the minor release number, so 3.7
is major release 3, minor 7.

This is known as Sematic Versioning, GC doesn't stick exactly to this

Re: [GNC] GNUCash XML format compatibility

Upwards, yes I believe so.  Any migration necessary would be handled
by gnucash itself.  There is no guarantee that a 3.x file will work in
2.x though in practice it may be ok.

Re: [GNC] Incorrect starting balance for 2019

[Colin Law]

First make a backup copy of your .gnucash file, in fact no doubt you
are backing up your data file regularly anyway.  That is the file that
has the name that you gave it when you first saved it in gnucash and
probably has the extension .gnucash.

Does the account currently match that in the account statement from
the bank or is that what you are trying to correct for?  If you have
been successfully reconciling it against the bank statement then I
don't see how the initial balance can be off.

Having entered the payee name in the register and seeing that it says
Split Transaction then right click that and select Delete Other

With 2.6.19 I was seeing a min width of about 1000px and this went up
to 1350px with 3.3.  Now with 3.6 I am seeing a min width of 980, so
back to about what it was on 2.6.  As noted in the bug report it did
vary with which accounts are open, I don't know whether that is still
the case.  It was which accounts were open that mattered, not which
had the focus.  I find it odd though that one cannot reduce the width
further and have scroll bars appear.  It is very unusual for an app to
exhibit that behaviour in its main windows (as opposed to popups).

Re: [GNC] 3.8 crash on Ubuntu 18.04

Looking at the report I think that a fix has now been merged, so hopefully
it will be fixed in the next release of gtk (or maybe even in the current

Rather than ranting it might be more productive if you asked for help.
Explain exactly what result you want and someone may be able to point
you in the right direction.
Also remember that all those here are volunteers providing their time
to try to help others, so getting angry will not help.

Are you trying to open the file by clicking on it?  I believe you
can't do that on a Mac, it always opens the file you last had open.
You have to use File > Open and browse to it.

Re: [GNC] Anyone noticing an issue with list messages 'un-threading'?

The odd thing is that it started happening recently, so something
changed somewhere, and I have not seen the issue in any other lists.

I think, though not fully certain, that something is messing up the In
Reply To message ID, and the References section of the reply.

I am seeing this too (using gmail) and it is rather annoying.  I

Re: [GNC] Chaning left sidebar spacing

I don't think the pixel density should cause the issue we are seeing
here, as it would affect the register line spacing in the same
proportion.

When it initially puts the split transaction in, right click and

By comparing the heights of the register lines and the tabs I see that
I get 9 tabs in the height of 14 register lines whereas the photo
shows only about 6.5 tabs in 14 register lines.

Re: [GNC] Sub-accounts disappeared during upgrade 3.5 > 3.7

[Colin Law]

Are you sure they are really gone?  Find a transaction in an account
which was the other side of one of the missing sub accounts (so maybe
a checking account transaction that went to the Main House expense
account for example) open that transaction and see what it shows.  Try
clicking on the button that takes you to the other side of the
transaction (Jump it is labelled I think) and see where it takes you.

Re: [GNC] how to migrate data to new computer

[Colin Law]

The easiest way to get the right file may be to open gnucash on the old
machine and use File > Save As to save it to a USB stick or similar. Then
you can copy it to a suitable folder on the new machine and use File Open
in gnucash to open it.

That may be reason for the test but it is not the most common cause.
In fact arguably it is a deficiency in the s/w that it is not able to
distinguish between the two situations.  The best solution would be
for the s/w to know whether it crashed or whether the db is actually
open, but I don't know whether this is possible.  If it isn't then the
message shown should be as helpful as possible to the user.

Perhaps a message saying "Error 5135 if you don't understand what this
means then you should have read the wiki" would be a solution.

How large is your accounts file (I assume that you are using the
default xml file storage rather than sqlite or mysql)?
What processor are you running on, if you know that.  Otherwise what
make/model PC is it?  Also what operating system?
Is the file stored on a disc on the PC or on a network drive?

Have you checked in the expense accounts too, or whatever is on the

I presume there is not a confusion about whether 11/8 is 11th August
or 8th November.

Are you saying that in the sched tx editor it shows a date for Last
Occurrence, but when you look in all of the accounts that it should
affect it is not there?  Make sure you check in all of them.
I presume you have not changed it in the editor since that date.

The standard Ubuntu repo will not get an upgrade.  With Ubuntu,
generally only security fixes are retrofittted after a version of
Ubuntu is released.  So Ubuntu 19.10 is most unlikely to see Gnucash
upgraded from whatever is in the repository (3.7?).  To get 3.8 you
will have to wait for Ubuntu 20.04, build it yourself, or find a
pre-built version from elsewhere.  The reason Ubuntu does not
generally upgrade apps during the life of a release is to provide
stability for users.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

An alternative is if someone provides a new version for the Ubuntu
backports repository, which I think is something that there has been
discussion of here.  The backports repository allows for users to
consciously decide toinstall upgrades to specific packages.

Re: [GNC] Backporting Gnucash 3.7 to Ubuntu "Bionic" (or Mint, etc.)

[Colin Law]

"The /usr/local hierarchy is for use by the system administrator when
installing software locally"  means software that is *not* installed
using the normal packaging system.  The packaging system will not
install to that location so it is safe to put things like self-built
gnucash there.

Can I just check that you realise you can have multiple tabs open at

I think that may have been a bug in 3.3.  Why are you not using the
latest available for Windows, which is 3.6 I think?

Re: [GNC] Postgresql backend setup

[Colin Law]

Which version of GC are you using and on what operating system. How
did you install gnucash?  It is possible the build you used does not
include Postgresql.

If, in Preferences > Scheduled Transactions, you select Run when data
file opened but not Show notification window, then it will run on
startup but won't show you the notification window.  This results in
all transactions configured for Automatic entry will be silently
entered.

Same with 3.6 on Ubuntu.  The tooltip says "dash" is allowed.  I guess

If you note a particular dialog that you have to do this on, then
close GnuCash and re-open it, does that dialog now remember the size
you changed it to or has it reverted to the smaller size?

So how were you trying to open the accounts file that it says it would
not allow?  Accounts files (or books) are just files in exactly the
same way way that, for example, MS Word documents are files.

You didn't need to to delete and recreate, you could just have edited
the already entered transactions and edited the scheduled ones so that
future ones would be correct.

I don't see any advantage in delaying the creation.  It works
perfectly well for me (and others here apparently) by creating them in
advance. What advantage do you see in delaying the creation?

Post a screenshot (or put it somewhere accessible, not sure if you can
post images on this list) showing the reconcile window which will not
allow you to just ignore that entry, even if it is dated before the
reconcile date.
Just to check, you are entering the closing balance from the bank
statement aren't you, not from the GC balance?  If you can't do that
then post a screenshot showing that dialog instead.

apt is the replacement for apt-get, I wasn't sure at which version of
mint the new command was added so used the older syntax (which will
continue to work for a number of years at least).  There is little
difference between the two commands.

Did you run

Re: [GNC] Unable to reconcile

[Colin Law]

If you mean you have gone through the reconcile process as you
normally do, and ticked everything off that appears in the statement
from the bank, but you end up with a Difference which is not zero then
almost certainly you have made a small mistake.  Either in entering
the closing balance or one of the transactions.  When this happens to
me is usually something like a transaction of 5.83 that I have
erroneously entered into GC as 5.38, then when I do the reconcile I do
not see the error and just tick it off.  Go through each entry
carefully and double check that the GC transaction exactly matches
that in the statement.

I think you may be misunderstanding what the reconcile feature is for.
You should reconcile when you receive a statement from the bank.  The
purpose of reconciling is to match transactions you have entered
against those in the statements.  As far as reconciling is concerned
the dates of transactions are irrelevant, only the amounts are
important.

There is usually no need to manually change the reconcile column
unless you have a particular reason for doing that.  Just let the
reconcile process do it for you.

When transactions are entered in advance they go in with the correct
transaction date in the future.  The actual current balance can still
be seen in the register, as can the estimated future balance after all
the scheduled transactions have gone through. This allows one to look
forward and make sure that there will be sufficient funds available.
I find this an extremely useful feature.

Does that mean that you do not have a backup of your data file?
Remember that a hard disc or PC can go up in smoke (literally or
metaphorically) at any moment.  Also there is always the possibility
of a bug or human error destroying the data. It is vital to take
regular backups of important data and keep occasional backups offsite
(in case of fire for example).  Also regularly check that you backups
are restorable and do actually contain the data you think.

I believe the transaction is not saved until you hit that last Enter
key to do it.  There is, after all, a Cancel button at the top that
allows one to revert the transaction being edited back to what it was
originally.

Re: [GNC] Payment month after reconcile

[Colin Law]

It would be nice to be able to specify a default value for the credit
card payment date after a reconcile, something like nnth of next month
for example.  I can't find anything in the preferences that seems to
relate to this issue.  At the moment for me it defaults to 'today' I
think.

Re: [GNC] Scheduled Trans shows completed 5/8 but not in register?

[Colin Law]

I am confused in that case.  Are you saying that the transaction shows
the correct two accounts in one register, but does not appear at all
in the other?  If so then is the date correct?  If so then open the
account where it does not show and click View > Filter By and check
that Date is set to Show All and that all the boxes are ticked on the
Status tab.

If you had deleted the original file and replaced it with the new one
there is no way that it could have opened the old one (as it no longer
existed).
In fact do you actually mean that it opened the file but did not show
the Accounts page where you can see all the accounts?  If so then, as
has been said in another thread, all you needed to do was to click
File > New Accounts Page to open it.

The reason it automatically opened an Accounts Page when you did File
> Open is because it thought it was opening a file it had not seen
before so brought up the default view.  When you let it automatically
open the one from the backup it thought it was re-opening the original
file so restored the pages that you had previously, which was none.

Wrong, it is "New Accounts Page" not "New Set of Accounts".  New Page,
not New Accounts.  All it does is to reopen the page that you closed.
Closing the page and re-opeing has not effect on the accounts file.

[GNC] Rate column appeared after Balance

[Colin Law]

Using 3.5 on Ubuntu , on just one of my Bank accounts a Rate column
has appeared to the right of the Balance column.  I can push it off to
the right but it has a habit or re-appearing.  I am not aware of
having done anything to make it happen.  I imagine it is to do with
exchange rates, but I only use GBP and have checked that the account
is still set to that currency.

I have looked through the preferences, looked in the manual and
Googled to no avail.

Any suggestions on why it might have appeared and how to get rid of it?

If you select and download all three files in one go then Dropbox zips
