Re: [GNC] v3.8
On MacOS 10.15 with GnuCash 3.8: /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-dump yahoo_json AMZN Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses: symbol: AMZN <=== required date: 12/30/2019 <=== recommended currency: USD <=== required last: 1846.89 <=\ nav: <=== one of these price: <=/ timezone: <=== optional I don't remember offhand what perl shipped on Sierra, but Catalina has only 5.18 and the latest is 5.30. That's clearly not required. There's a test program, stockdump.pl in the cpan build directory (~/.cpan/Finance-Quote-1.47-YeicSt/Examples/stockdump.pl on my system): ~/.cpan/build/Finance-Quote-1.47-YeicSt/Examples/stockdump.pl yahoo_json AMZN $VAR1 = { 'AMZNvolume' => 3591419, 'AMZNlast' => '1846.89', 'AMZNmethod' => 'yahoo_json', 'AMZNdate' => '12/30/2019', 'AMZNcurrency' => 'USD', 'AMZNname' => 'AMZN (Amazon.com, Inc.)', 'AMZNsymbol' => 'AMZN', 'AMZNsuccess' => 1, 'AMZNisodate' => '2019-12-30', 'AMZNexchange' => 'Sourced from Yahoo Finance (as JSON)', 'AMZNtype' => 'EQUITY' }; That might be helpful for troubleshooting.

Re: [GNC] v3.8
Thanks, David. I just used the quote downloading in the 2.6 version I was running previously, on 2019-12-27 (Friday). After the update to 3.8 today, it no longer works. Running gnc-fq-dump yahoo_json amzn gets me nothing. Not even the date. I ran the gnc-fq-update module to try and get things working, but to no avail. That makes me think it's my Perl installation or something of the sort, since I don't hear any others screaming about it. I looked back through the old posts about this, but it always seemed to be an alphavantage difficulty, or some such. I have been using "Yahoo as JSON" for as long as that has been around, with no problems. Maybe I'll need to install the latest Perl or something like that.

Re: [GNC] v3.8
I just updated from my previous 2.6 variant (can't recall the actual version, but it was near the end of the series). I cannot get any Finance::Quote data. Was using yahoo_json, but it doesn't work any more, not able to even get a quote for AMZN from gnc-fq-dump. Doesn't even return the date. Working on OS X (10.12.6, Sierra), by the way. - Ken Farley -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] HTML Chart exports are blank on MacOS/Windows browsers
Concerning PDF output, I am using Print then 'Print to File' with PDF chosen (not Postscript or SVG). I find I have to tinker with Page Setup and the Gnucash onscreen window size/shape to create a graph that fits nicely on a single page PDF (this is an Expenses bar chart). I normally run Gnucash at or near 'fullscreen' and the chart gets tiled across multiple pages unless I reduce the window size and change its shape to match the page orientation. Is it expected that the screen window affects the printing size/shape? That behavior is OK, but I would prefer to have the chart autofit onto a single page if that is possible. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Deposit\Withdraw on one account, Increase\Decrease on others. Why?
Also, if you started with the wizard which creates some basic accounts for you, some of those would have been special types. Another example would be credit card accounts. You can create them as generic liability accounts but if you make them type ‘credit card’ there are special labels for those registers. I’m pretty sure Help documents each special type and the associated labels. (but I could be mistaken, I haven’t looked in some months. That info might be in the Guide instead.)

I’d think the optimum long term solution would be something along the lines of generating a webp, png, or svg of the graph as part of the html delivery. That would remove the js bloat folder.

If you open the "Edit Account" view (where the name, description, parent account, and so on are also entered) you will see a choice of “Account Type”. Note that the available account types are also constrained by the parent account — for example, you cannot make an Expense account that is a child account of an Asset placeholder account. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

I may be a little slow here, but it seems to me this is something of an edge case. Isn't this analogous to sending an html file without including embedded images?

Re: [GNC] Deposit\Withdraw on one account, Increase\Decrease on others. Why?
Deposit/Withdraw are used for bank accounts. Generic asset accounts use Increase/Decrease. There might be other special accounts besides bank accounts with their own context labels, but I don’t know because I use formal labels. It doesn’t make much sense to ‘deposit’ into, or ‘withdraw’ from, an asset account that tracks, say—the value of your home. The only way (without custom programming) to get the same column headings is to use formal labels. (they really aren’t that bad once you learn how they work. I prefer them) Regards, Adrien > On Dec 29, 2019 w1d363, at 10:47 PM, ddhahn wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm a pretty new user to gnucash and am getting settled in.
