Re: [GNC] Budgeting loans

That's what I did. I made an assett account for each of my loan payments (1 mortgage, 2 car payments.) Would be nice if GnuCash was able to handle this internally somehow. I'm trying to do a "budget to zero" approach and the loan payments were my last holdup. Andy On Sun, Apr 8, 2018 at 12:19

Re: [GNC] future of custom reports in 3.x

I wonder the same too. Although new reports are enough for me now. But I had to delete lots of old custom reports because they no more worked (or compiled) But in future I may want to have my own custom reports. I wish there was GnuCash library with we could simply call Gnc_LoadFile("path")

[GNC] "No suitable backend" error for database backed gnucash file

Using Gnucash on MacOS, I got this error trying to open a recently created file which I think I based on a database back-end instead of the standard. I have upgraded to 3.0 in the meantime and thought it was the problem. But I realized when I finally was able to start a v2.6.20 on an older

If the backend is installed (as it was for me, I simply upgraded GC) then you might need to modify the environment file in the 3.0 app’s bundle. Look in this month’s archives on the list for a post by me on the same topic. I didn’t get a reply, but I found that solution via a bug report that

While we would like to replace the reporting system with something more flexible and user friendly we’re a very long way from being in a position to even start on it. In the meantime there are four alternatives for custom reports: 1. Learn Scheme and qof-query to make custom reports for use

My bad, I forgot what I did! I didn't build from the tarball. I built what I got from doing git clone https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash.git which somehow brought down the unstable branch. Now I actually built from the tarball and got 3.0. Sorry for this noob error. On 04/08/2018

Re: [GNC] Quicken running balances - available in GnuCash??

It sounds like what you’re asking for is to combine the transaction report with a balance sheet report (showing only the desired asset of cash) Is that correct? If so, no, there is no such report that I can fathom out of the box. But you can get a report that shows some info about your cash

Xfce won’t be full Gtk+3 until version 4.14 which is still in development. Everyone who’s using 4.12 (released in 2015) is still in a mixed environment. Xubuntu 18.04 will still be using 4.12, but I think they’ll be pulling in some of the 4.14 components that are 100% ready.
