Re: [GNC] My begining balance is wrong

Derek,  Billie, I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm going to guess that the various problems (unsaved changes, reversion to different points, lost progress, etc.) have to do with the attempts to back up the data file using Save As. It would be very easy under these circumstances to access

Re: [GNC] Reconciliation Changes

Chris, I believe she's implementing envelope budgeting (https://www.thebalance.com/what-is-envelope-budgeting-1293682) using sub accounts. A fair number of users of Gnucash do this, which has been discussed on the lists over the years. David T. Original Message From:

Re: [GNC] Making the leap to latest

Of course, the Windows installer takes care of uninstalling other versions for you, so upgrading or downgrading is a simple matter of running the appropriate exe. And if you retain the different versions' download files,  running them is simply a matter of double clicking the proper one.

If Arthur can load the html in your link on his Kindle, he could install an epub app (such as Overdrive) and get his flow going using that. Original Message From: flywire Sent: Sun Oct 03 07:25:44 EDT 2021 To: Gnucash Users Subject: [GNC] Build 4.8 docs issue Arthur,

Re: [GNC] QIF imports for security pricing

I don't understand. Why would you need to KEEP importing prices? Once you've imported your transactions, you can simply update the price db separately using the process I described. I attach a Google sheet that gets prices for me. Run the Advanced Portfolio report for your books, select all,

Re: [GNC] QIF imports for security pricing

I've used csv imports for commodity prices many times. Because of problems with retrieving prices through Finance::Quote that started when Yahoo! deactivated its servers, I set up a process that worked pretty well to get weekly price updates into gnucash. I built a spreadsheet in Google

Regarding your search: I get results from: https://www.google.com/search?q=franking+site%3Agnucash.org I'm not sure why Google.ca would have different results, or whether my broader site designation draws in more. Mind you, they're older than the previous year, but this discussion has occurred.

Re: [GNC] Is the .gnc suffix now the default?

Per https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_What.27s_the_GnuCash_file_extension.3F ".gnucash" is the data file extension. Creating a simple shell script that invokes gnucash with the "--no-file" option would be my method. Original Message From: Chris Green Sent: Mon Aug 23

Re: [GNC] Multi-split CSV Import

Glad you're putting this into a narrative. In the past, I've worked on the docs, on both Mac and Windows environments. If I* can do it, it's most certainly possible! David * Geert and other long term devs can vouch for my high level of ineptitude regarding the development tools.

Re: [GNC] Multi-split CSV Import

As an aside, the documentation discrepancies between the Help and the Guide that flywire noted are due to the differing preferences of the documentarians behind the files. The person who worked assiduously to document the CSV importer prefers the Help files, and so placed his text there.

Re: [GNC] Scheduled transaction with variable amount

Creating a transaction for a total amount as of a certain date doesn't seem particularly useful. What if you have a dispute, or a return, or a transaction that is not accurate, or needs correction? An automatically-created transaction will need to be corrected as well. Gnucash provides an

Re: [GNC] Balance Sheet and Win Loose Statement

I believe one can set the date for the balance sheet using options, and that would be how I handled that. I'd assume that getting these numbers for past years (say, for 2010) would be a one time process, assuming that your 2010 books wouldn't change any more, once they are complete. Once
