Re: [GNC] Multiple accounts

[Ken Pyzik]

Similar to a browser, you would normally have multiple tabs.  Then switch 
between the tabs.  That's at least the way I have it in Windows 11 setup.  Are 
you not seeing multiple tabs?  Also - I have heard of others having two 
instances open at the same time to do on-screen comparisons – but this normally 
would only be done with two separate files, since, if it is the same file 
(database), updating one of them could corrupt the database.

Not sure what your particular situation is – but the multiple tabs should be 
there.

Hi Folks,

It looks like I can only see one account at a time. I can't find a way to open 
several for cross-reference and comparison. Am I missing something?

Re: [GNC] [newbie] how to treat a gift?

[Ken Pyzik]

Sorry, I have to comment on this.  There really is no hard and fast rule here. 
The real answer is - it depends.

If you think about your old manual checkbook – did you place your gross 
earnings in your checkbook and account for all the taxes?  Of course not – your 
bank only sees the net pay and that is probably all you accounted for when you 
received your paycheck.

The analogy here is the same – if you use of GnuCash is to only track you 
personal expenses, there is no need to track gross pay and all the deductions.

On the other hand, if you are using GnuCash as you business book of record - 
then you absolutely would need to track all those deductions.

Finally, if you are someone who wants to use GnuCash as a backup to make sure 
your employer is keeping track of your deductions, then yes, keeping track of 
those additional items would be beneficial.

Alas, I could be wrong – but for most people who just want to track their own 
personal expenses or use GnuCash as a an old fashioned checkbook – tracking 
this would be extremely superfluous unless you really just want to make 
additional work for yourself.

Of course, all of this is just my opinion – and P.S. – I am retired, so it does 
not even effect me anymore!  LOL!

One could. but one probably shouldn't.

Extending the thought exercise, one could elect to  just record all income /
expenses to the singular top-level accounts, wih no sub-division or
granularity.

Would it be a good idea?   probably not.
Would GC allow it?  of course.

Would one be able to answer common questions later on? (eg. how much did I
spend on widgets this year against last year?   How much tax did employer Y
deduct from my pay so far this year?) - Not without a lot of pain!

Re: [GNC] Checks outstanding...VERY outstanding!

[Ken Pyzik]

Well, you could just not use the clearing function at all – which is what I do.

If fact, all my transactions have an "n" on them in Gnucash.  Instead, of 
trying to figure out what cleared, I assume everything clears.   This makes for 
a much easier task - since almost 100% of transactions do clear - I only have 
to worry about the one's that don't - which for me - is almost none anyway.

But everyone's situation is different.  For me – clearing is just added worked 
I choose not to do.

Subject: [GNC] Checks outstanding...VERY outstanding!

I have a few vendors and charities whom I still pay with paper checks
(they're not eligible for my bank's electronic payment system), and some
of them are very lackadaisical about cashing those checks. It's not
unusual for one of them to sit on a check for three months before it
finally shows up in my bank's payment queue...by which time it's long
past even the maximum possible setting on GnuCash for manually matching
a check. More annoying, and this has happened several times, is if I
don't watch the match game with an eagle eye GnuCash will then assume
that the paper check from a month and a half ago which just cleared is
actually the one which is supposed to go out tomorrow and will mark *it*
cleared...and then there's no way to "unclear" it in the matching
algorithm. Oh, I can manually hit the check box and change the clearance
from C to N, but the next time I download transactions it will skip over
that one and not clear it, even when the proper check finally does come in.

One of the issues is that, according to my best understanding of U.S.
tax law, payments are officially "made" when the check is written and
dropped in the mail. So, if I write a check in November but it's not
cashed until March (which has happened)...it screws everything up, and
(even if the check is still within the window to manually match) "Update
+ Clear" brings the payment out of the proper accounting period. So,
does anyone have a recommendation for dealing with this kind of kerfuffle?

Re: [GNC] two instances on different books

[Ken Pyzik]

Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between what you are wanting to 
do and just doing a FILE - OPEN - BOOK2 from a single instance?

Seems to me that the only real difference is that when GnuCash opens, it 
automatically opens the last book it was working from.  So, that being the 
case, what you are suggesting is to make sure then when you open any specific 
instance of GnuCash - that it is opening the specific book you want (e.g., 
instance 1 opens Book 1 and Instance 2 opens Book 2).  Other than that, I 
cannot see what purpose having two instances does.

Yes, I agree.  However, there are always potential human mistakes that can 
occur, even with a single book.  Many of those can be mitigated in various ways.

For the moment, I am wondering if there are any technical reasons that simply 
preclude the option and make all those possible challenges moot.

Re: [GNC] Problem with New Account Creation

[Ken Pyzik]

One more thing to try.  It is possible that your version of GNUcash got 
stepped-on by something else.  If all other troubleshooting to this point has 
failed, de-install the version you have – and them re-install the latest 
version from SorgeForce or wherever you get your latest versions.  Upon 
re-installation – see if the same behavior exists

The context menu was a great idea. Hadn't thought of that. I had changed the

not resolve the issue.

Re: [GNC] Invoking Vendors report causes closure of GNU Cash V5.5

[Ken Pyzik]

There is a known bug with reports in GnuCash version 5.5 on a Windows machine.  
The bug is well-understood; however, the fix is not an easy right now.  The 
reporting interface for Windows in GnuCash V5.5 has been noted to no longer 
work properly.  The developers are working on a solution.  The best temporary 
solution is to re-vert back to V5.4 if you are using Windows and need the 
reports (just as you have done).

Hi,

I have used V5.4 satisfactorily for some while. I then recently installed V5.5 
on an Asus notebook operating under Win 11. From the first time of use whenever 
I used the Vendor's Report GNU Cash closed. 
It simply exited with no invitation to save, or other warning. It did not close 
the lock file.

To check this I ran GNU Cash with no other apps running. The behaviour was 
repeated irrespective of the specific vendor, or style sheet used.

I have reverted to V5.4. Has anyone else experienced this.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash getting worse?

[Ken Pyzik]

Well, I will add my 2 cents worth (for that is probably all it is really worth 
anyway).  With no disrespect to R Losey (I can appreciate what you are 
saying) I will say this: 

I have been using the product since at least version 2.3.  I have had few, if 
any, complaints with the software.  It does what I need it to do.  I was just 
so glad that when Quicken went to their subscription model, that there was a 
product that could do what GnuCash does.  And as a bonus, the software happen 
to be free! 

My view is this:  We are very fortunate that this free app is supported and 
even has continued improvements and upgrades.   I have seen some free license 
software that are years old -- and have never been upgraded/improved and have 
no support.   Since the software is free -- it is there for you to take and use 
-- as is -- with no implied warranties, guarantees, or assurances that it will 
be improved, upgraded, or even supported.  Those are the terms  - take it or 
leave it.  

Now, if someone does not like those terms -- they can always get a commercial 
package or subscription and pay ongoing fees to have it improved, upgraded and 
supported.   (To that end, even when I did have Quicken - and paid for yearly 
upgrades -- the software still had bugs and people still complained about it -- 
even with paid support and upgrades!)

I am a happy GnuCash user -- and I wish the project nothing but continued 
success in the future.  And even if all the developers hit the lottery tomorrow 
and left the project forever and never touched the code ever again -- I would 
still be very grateful that it exists and does what it does.  Thank you! 

Ken

Subject: [GNC] GnuCash getting worse?

Let me start off by trying to avoid hateful responses...

I worked in the software industry, and the programs I supported have had their 
share of issues. I remember (with hung head) when we went through a patch in 
which we would claim to have fixed a problem, only to have it recur, and then 
fixed that and then had another problem occur. It was a really bad time, and we 
took a lot of heat for it.

I also know that GnuCash is free, thanks to the intense dedication of a 
relatively small number of people... for whom and to whom, I am very grateful.

However.

I started using GnuCash about 8 years ago, and I generally upgraded each 
quarter as the new versions came out. My own experience in software led me to 
delay doing the update for 7-10 days -- just in case there was a bug that 
necessitated a re-release (and it happened just enough to make me glad I waited 
from time to time).

I am still running 5.3 because (as has been documented here), the 5.4 windows 
release had a bug that left a process running.  "No problem", I thought -- I'll 
just skip 5.4 and install 5.5 when it comes out.

Well, 5.5 is out, and it looks like the Scheduled Transactions no longer 
function properly, especially in regard to variable placeholders. This is a 
feature I used and cannot use GnuCash if this is broken. This makes 5.5 also 
unusable for me. This is the first time I can remember when I could not 
download a new release - let alone two of them.

I don't know what the problem is or what the best solution is -- perhaps 
everyone on this list could contribute a few dollars to give the hardworking 
developers a chance to "re-charge", as it were? Perhaps a quarter needs to be 
spent only fixing bugs and ignoring adding new features? Perhaps the developers 
just need to take a break for a quarter?

I don't mean this at all in a harsh or critical way; I am just concerned that a 
program I really like seems to be slipping somehow.

parent account - go to EDIT, EDIT-Account - and give the account color any 
color you wanted and say OK?  Would that give you what you want?

Subject: [GNC] Customizing appearance of parent accounts only in Accounts tree

Hi all,

I'm using Windows 11 and GNUcash 5.4
I'm wondering if there is an easy possibility of highlighting parent accounts 
only, by text size, bolding and/or coloring, to make them stand out when 
scrolling the accounts tree?

It does not seem to be hurting anything - and everything else seems to be

Ken,

In case the shortcut idea wasn't clear - see pic below...  You can set the 
"Start in:" property to wherever your gnucash data file is located, mine is in 
C:\Users\\Documents\Gnucash\Data" as per the pic.  This saves adding a 
path to the file name you pass to Gnucash, and then just include the file name 
after the "Target:" as per example.

Cheers David H.

1. Don't think so

3. Setup 2 shortcuts using the gnucash file name and probably the file path for 
each file then you can just double click on the appropriate shortcut.  If your 
file paths contain spaces you'll probably need double quotes around them.

Re: [GNC] Importing data from QuickBooks Online

[Ken Pyzik]

Tom -- I believe at the beginning of 2022, QuickBooks went from being a desktop 
and online software package  - to being strictly/only online.  With that 
transition, I believe they also gave a one-year period where you could export 
data.  While this may be a stretch, I believe that they may have somehow added 
a change flag or some other thing to the data to prevent you from exporting it 
as easy as it used to be.  This could be the discrepancy you are experiencing.  
In other words, to prevent people from doing what you are exactly trying to do 
-- they may have placed a simple data offset or some other thing into the data 
to prevent easy export.  Again, this could be a stretch -- but it would explain 
why one year comes over correctly and the next does not.  Just my two cents -- 
for what it is worth ( which could be nothing at all!)

 What format is the data which you export from Quickbooks Online? CSV 
 (Comma Separated Values text files with tabular data)? QFX (Quicken 
 Financial Exchange, similar to OFX)?
 
 What GnuCash version are you using? On what computer OS?
 
 What GnuCash sequence of actions do you use to import the data?

 Let's assume you are exporting data in CSV format, and using the current 
 version of GnuCash (5.3), and importing using the File…

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 5.0 Released

Subject: [GNC] GnuCash 5.0 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.0.
 
New Features

A new Stock Transaction Assistant to guide you through entering most 
investment transactions for stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. You can access it 
from Actions>Stock Assistant when the focus tab is the Accounts page or a Stock 
or Fund account register.
A new Investment Lots report showing a graph of capital gains and losses in 
a period by investment lot. Note that if you don't use the View Lots dialog to 
manage capital gains and losses this report won't have anything to show you. 
Use Reports>Assets & Liabilities>Investment Lots to see the report.
The Online Quotes facility has been completely rewritten and the old 
gnc-fq-check, gnc-fq-dump, and gnc-fq-helper programs have been replaced with 
finance-quote-wrapper. The functions performed by those programs may now be 
accomplished by passing commands to gnucash-cli -Q, see gnucash-cli --help for 
specifics. The perl module requirements have changed with the rewrite: The new 
version doesn't need Date::Manip but needs JSON::Parse instead. gnc-fq-update 
has been, er, updated to reflect that.
A new tab on the New/Edit Account dialog called More Properties includes 
entries to set a high and low limit on an account. That's coupled to a new 
column that's available on the Accounts Page, Balance Limit. If you set a high 
or low limit and the account balance falls above or below the respective limit 
an indicator will be shown in the Balance Limit column.
The description field quickfill in the register now displays a drop-down 
list of possible completions instead of just one inline completion.
File import menu items for the MT940, MT942, and DTAUS formats is replaced 
with a single Import from AQBanking that supports importing any file format 
supported by AQBanking, including the frequently requested CAMT. (Note that 
some CAMT profiles are under the XML format.)
The import matcher now permits editing descriptions, notes, and memo fields 
in the matcher window before creating the transactions. Right-click and select 
from the context menu.
The report generated by the Print Invoice button on the Edit Invoice tab 
can now be configured as a book option at the bottom of the Business tab; this 
permits selecting a saved configuration of one of the standard invoice reports. 
Another option enables a delay, during which a dialog box will appear enabling 
the user to select a different report. Note: When saving a configuration make 
sure that the invoice number is not set or you'll get that particular invoice 
instead of the one that you pressed the button for.

Significant Code Changes
Deprecations (will be removed in GnuCash 6.0)

gnc:option-set-value
gnc:option-setter
gnc:option-value
gnc:register-option
The invoice option to gnc:register-report-create-internal

Report and Book Options

This major change will affect everyone who has written custom reports in 
Guile Scheme.
The report and book options code has been completely rewritten in C++ with 
SWIG providing Guile Scheme access for reports. The new design requires 
directly registering options with for example 
gnc-optiondb-register-string-option instead of calling gnc:make-string-option 
to create an option followed by gnc:register-option to insert it in the 
report's options.
Value access is also changed: Instead of retrieving an option and then 
querying or setting its value with gnc:option-value one will query the optiondb 
with gnc-option-value, the arguments to which are the optiondb, the section, 
and the option name

What appears to be up is the loss of an automatic redirect from  
http://www.gnucash.org to  https://www.gnucash.org which, as this is clearly an 
Apache webserver, is a matter of one line in a .htaccess file.

The corresponding redirect for gnucash.org (without the www. prefix) is working.

Re: [GNC] Adding new accounts

[Ken Pyzik]

Based upon your answers, here is what I would suggest:


  1.  When you go to add a new account - give it a nice bright unique color.  
Now when the new account comes up - it will be easily distinguishable.  If you 
still don't see the new account - do item 2.
  2.  Download the latest version of the program and overwrite the version on 
your machine.  Once it is completed, now try adding a new account.  It is 
possible that the version you have on your machine may have somehow been 
corrupted and getting the latest (or a new version) can alleviate the issue.

Without having any additional information, I going to make some assumptions.

1.  I am going to assume that you have already tried the Actions>>New Accounts 
menu item and it does not work
2.  That you have tried any other methods to add new accounts and they have not 
worked either

Based upon that -- I them would ask a few questions:

1. What happens when you click on the menu -- Actions - New account menu item?  
Does the program just sit there -- does it give an error?  This would be good 
information to know to help you diagnose the issue.

2.  Is there some theoretical limit on the number of accounts you can have -- 
and have you reached that limit?  My gut tells me that if there is some limit 
-- it is probably very high and therefore you probably have not reached it -- 
but this is just a guess on my part.

3.  Finally, that last thing I would ask is -- is your file locked or in some 
sort of "read-only" mode where you cannot edit it?  If this is true, you would 
not be able to add any transactions either -- so if you can add transactions to 
your existing accounts -- this is probably not the solution either -- but it is 
worth a try to ask.

Look these items over -- and let us know any additional information to help you 
diagnose the issue.

Re: [GNC] New user: how to migrate Quicken checking account as a single, flat, checking account

[Ken Pyzik]

Scott -- Forgive me if I misinterpreted your request -- but if I am reading it 
correctly, what you describing is not in line with the way GNU-Cash works.  

You see GNU-cash works as a double-entry (two-sided) accounting system.  What 
that means is that for every transaction - there must be an opposite and equal 
counter-transaction.  Let me give you an example: 

If I purchase groceries with a check, in the GNU-Cash world, there will exist 
at least two transactions.  One (a debit to my checking account - which 
decreases the balance); and a  second counter-transaction which will post the 
credit.  In many cases, you might have an expense account called - Expenses: 
Groceries.  That accounts balance will increase by the amount you just 
purchased.  To make this more concrete, let's use an example: 

Balance in Checking Account:  $220
Balance in Expense Groceries Account: $0

You go to the store - purchase $50 in groceries - and write check 1001 for $50, 
reducing your checking account balance to $170.

Transaction in the Checking register:  
Date| NUM| Description | Transfer   
|Deposit |Withdrawal| Balance |
12/4/2022 |  1001| Local Grocery Store  |Expenses:Groceries |  |
   50.00|170.00|

Meanwhile, this transaction has also generated a separate equal and 
corresponding transaction in the Expenses"Groceries account that looks like 
this:
Date| NUM| Description | Transfer   
|Expense |Rebate| Balance |
12/4/2022 |  1001| Local Grocery Store  |Expenses:Groceries | 50.00|
 |50.00|

So every transaction has a separate and equal "counter-transaction".  In this 
way, everything remains in balance.  

So you see, the reason you are seeing so many accounts is because each category 
that you spend on will have a separate account.  The nice thing about this, is 
that if you want to know how much you spent on any separate area (groceries, 
utilities, etc.) you will always have a separate account which shows how much 
you have spent. 

As I said, I hope this helps explain why you are seeing what you are seeing.  
You should just have one account (register) for your checking account.  The 
other accounts are all the counter expense (or deposit) accounts. 

Ken

Subject: [GNC] New user: how to migrate Quicken checking account as a single, 
flat, checking account

Hi all:

New user questions follow, I'm afraid...

I have no trouble following the directions in the wiki for migrating from
Quicken. I made the QIF file, imported it into GnuCash, and watched it very
unhelpfully create 100 different accounts. The instructions do mentions
this, and it's ability to match against Quicken categories is impressive,
but it's not what I desire.

In Quicken this account is a simple, flat, checking account. How can I take
the 100 separate accounts and represent them in a simple, flat, single
checking account register? Is there no way to do this?

Thanks,

Scott

Re: [GNC] Blue line in checking account register window

[Ken Pyzik]

Don't see the image -- but the blue line indicates that you have a transaction 
or transactions with a future date.  Is it possible that you entered a 
transaction with the incorrect month or year?  

Actually, the blue line is very handy if you want to add in expenses for the 
month in advance to see what your balance will look like in the future (end of 
the month).  This comes in handy if you want to project what your account might 
look like on a future date.

My checking account register window looks like this


Notice the bright blue line above the last 3 transactions.
What is that line and how to I get rid of it?

When I enter a new transaction it appears immediately ABOVE that blue line, and 
the balance is based only on the entries above that line.  I would like to:
1.  Move the transactions below the line above the blue line
2.  Delete the blue line so that there is only a single section; i.e. the 
section now above the blue line.  I would then sort on the date and be where I 
need to be.

Any help will be much appreciated.

one of them to make that one an actual namespace, so users who have commodities 
in e.g. the namespace NYSE will still see that namespace in the selection list. 
Reasoning: The list was necessarily incomplete and confused new users.

Re: [GNC] Possible to display two account registers on

[Ken Pyzik]

Using windows 11 (and probably 10) ver. 4.9, in the top menu there is an menu 
called WINDOWS.  If you click on that menu and click the New Window with page 
option -- you will get two windows for the same account.  This will get you the 
desired results I believe you want. 

Cheers!  -- Ken

That may have been added in a later GC version, but for me when I double-click 
on an account in the Accounts page that account's register opens in a new tab 
in the same window as the Accounts page. I don't find any selection for that 
behavior in Preferences.

Yes, I'm running GC in Windows 10.

Diane,

I think you have missed a few points about GnuCash.

GnuCash is not a commercial program maintained by a company to make a
profit. It is a totally volunteer effort to produce and maintain and
document GnuCash.

GnuCash is free - you will not be charged for the bugs. As in most of the
Linux world, you can generally be sure if something is broken, i.e. it stops
the program from working or produces significant errors, it will get fixed
pronto. If it is inconvenient in a major way it will get some priority. If
it is a minor inconvenience or can be worked around it will be a lot lower
down the priority list. 

All programs suffer to some extent from scope creep in that there will
alsways be a user who will  want it to do something that it wasn't
originally planned to do. GnuCash has one brake on this -  no one is paid to
make it happen. If you want it  and no-one else involved in the programming
needs it as much as you do, then you had better live with it as it is,  find
a product which better meets your needs or start to learn how to program..

No matter how good a programmer you are, you will never get any significant
program working flawlessly unless it virtually does next to nothing. (That's
behind a major ideal/principle in the Linux world of doing one thing and
doing it well).

Fully accurate and documented software, if it ever exists, requires a decent
integrated team of fulltime programmers and documenters (these are ususally
paid, hopefully well paid, and don't generally  have other full time jobs).
GnuCash is admittedly not that well documented. There are a variety of
reasons for this including a small core development team who really don't
have time to do detailed documentation, which is left largely to some of the
user base. Most of us have not written the code, some of us have some
programming experience not necessarily on GnuCash. Inevitably this leads to
delays while new features get documented, and unfortunately some never get
documented formally. if you want to use Gnucash you will need to trawl
through the archives of the User forum and the Wiki where a lot of newer
features are usually "documented"  first. You will also likely spend some
time asking questions on the forum until you are familiar with the way
Gnucash works and have found out how to td the things that you knew how to
do in some other software that GnuCash does a bit differently.

Gnucash is Opensource software built largely using open source libraries for
specific functionality. If it were not the relatively small volunteer
development team would be unable to maintain it. In some cases progress is
limited by the rate at which development occurs in the underlying libraries.
This is not unique to GnuCash - many commercial programs also use the same
or similar libraries.  Whenever a new library version is introduced, despite
the best efforts of the library developers, there is a risk that a slew of
new, usually minor, bugs will be introduced. This alone occupies a lot of
the developers time.
 
The core of GnuCash which deals with its integrity as an accounting program
is fairly solid. It is generally far more flexible than other commercial
accounting software I have used. It's ability to edit transactions directly
usually means you can do virtually anything you need to be able to do, but
you will have to understand what you are doing, not just follow a procedure
you have no control over. 

This means GnuCash is not for everybody. If you can't live within the above
restrictions then it is possibly not the program for you. If you are running
a commercial enterprise of reasonable scope, you can generally afford to pay
for commercial software and to have it customized to meet your specific
requirements. GnuCash really fills a niche where this is not necessarily the
case.

[GNC] GnuCash 3.2

[Ken Pyzik]

Have upgraded to 3.2 and wanted to report that I have had no issues.

 

I m a Windows 10 user

 

Positives:

*   Upgrade went smoothly (installed new over old and all worked fine)
*   Faster reports 
*   Overall operation seems faster

 

Negatives: none

 

I did notice that starting seems to take a little longer to start - but this
is no big deal.  Thanks!

[GNC] Tax Report - Version 3.1 - Windows 10

[Ken Pyzik]

Have upgraded to version 3.1 and I am a Windows 10 User. 

 

It appears that the Tax Schedule Report does not like custom dates.  If you
change the configuration to 1st Qtr. Estimate - that report works.  If you
change to 2nd Qtr. Estimate - that does not work (probably since the second
quarter has not ended).  But for sure - if you try any custom dates - Report
Error comes up - "An error occurred while running the report".  Not sure
this is a bug - but it looks like it.  I believe another user may have
reported this.  Thanks!

Re: [GNC] installation freezes

[Ken Pyzik]

Radix -- while I agree mostly with your assessment -- I have installed
version 3.0 on Windows 10 version 1803 (latest Windows build) and I have had
no issues with it.  In fact, I have been running with it for two weeks now
with no issue. 

Now -- that is not to say that there could still be some bugs with version
3.0 when using some of the non-essential features.   Also, look into the
build of Windows 10 -- MS has also been found to deliver "beta" versions of
dlls or other extensions in what is supposed to be "ready" versions of
Windows.  

Either way -- what you are saying may be correct in many cases -- just not
for mine.

Understanding that everyone wants the latest and greatest (yesterday, if not

installing, running version 3.0 on Windows 10.  I may be deaf and blind, but
not hearing/seeing any Window 10 users who are running 3.0 without an
issue...assuming they can get it to run.

As painful as it is, I have opted, and would suggest others who desire to
run GnuCash under Windows 10, to just do it using version 2.6.21 and wait a
few months until "whoever" works out "whatever" that is clearly causing the

Subject: GnuCash 2.6.20 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 2.6.20, the twenty-first and 
final maintenance release in the 2.6-stable series. Note: This is the last 
version of GnuCash that will support MacOS X versions earlier than 10.9 or 
Microsoft Windows versions earlier than Windows 7.
Changes

Between 2.6.19 and 2.6.20, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

* Bug 765846 - Expense Over Time for subaccounts: An error occurred while 
running the report: Fix crash if acc-depth too low.
* Bug 791848 - GC 2.6.x does not handle ISO dates introduced with GC 2.7 
Enable reading ISO-formatted dates, recognize GNC_FEATURE_SQLITE3_ISO_DATES.
* Bug 792008 - gnucash 2.6.19 fails to build Replace g_assert_true with 
g_assert for now
* Bug 793278 - wrong data in charts with accumulated values (like 
"net-linechart", "net-barchart" and "liabilities barchart")
* Bug 794030 - relative date functions compute wrong day of month
* Bug 790526 - Mathematical bug This change will fix 
'num-of-weeks-since-1/jan/1970' which formerly used quotient to remove the 
fractional part of the division. For negative values of num-of-weeks, the 
number is truncated in the wrong direction (i.e. towards 0). This change uses 
floor instead to ensure the num-of-weeks found is the nearest integer LESS than 
the fractional number.

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

* Online HBCI actions: Remove outdated non-SEPA menu items.
* Add XML namespaces for all Account Hierarchy Templates.
* General cleanup of Account Hierarchy Templates.
* Fix auto-selection of splits in reconcile. Really use all splits of any 
given day. Up to now usually the splits of the given date were not or not all 
included, as the time comparison didn't correctly ignore any given time-of-day 
of the splits. Instead, all possible time-of-days should be included.
* Properly detect git in case of linked worktree.
* Account Hierarchy for India: Set LANGUAGE=hi and LANG=en_IN to access it.
* Improve Import menu entries Customer & vendors use same menu label as 
others, replace template by tooltip, add ellipsis to entry, add comments to 
distinguish "Import" as verb and substantive.
* Provide preference panel to set the Alpha Vantage API key needed for 
Finance::Quote.
* Correct the appstream definition to match the current spec.
* Fix collectors and min-date handling in reports.

Translation Updates: Dutch, German, Spanish, Russian

Important update notification

If you are updating from gnucash 2.6.0-2.6.4 on linux, you are advised to 
remove the guile user cache or several parts of gnucash may fail to work 
properly. This user cache can be found in .cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-8-2.0/ in 
your home directory. It's safe to remove the whole contents of this directory.

Note .cache is a hidden folder in your home directory. You may have to change 
your file manager's settings in order to view hidden files and folders.
Documentation

Concurrent with the release of Gnucash 2.6.20 we're pleased to also release a 
new version 2.6.20 of the companion Help and Tutorial and Concepts Guide.

* Bug 782423 - Help 10.2. Setting Preferences is outdated.

RE: Income shows as negative

[Ken Pyzik]

I am thinking it could be dependent upon what account type you set it up as.
Is it set as an Income Account or an Expense Account type?  It is possible
you have it setup as an Expense Account type which is why it would show as a
negative expense?If that is not it -- then you would have to give a
little more detail on the setup to see why it is opposite what you expect.

RE: Importing Quicken

[Ken Pyzik]

Edward -- I did the switch about 8 months ago and have not looked back.

I am pretty sure you can directly import your file from Quicken.  I do not
remember exactly how I did it but I think QIF means quicken file so it
should work.

Three things to be aware: 

1.  If you use categories -- those no longer exist is GNUCASH.  Each
category, theoretically becomes a separate account
2.  Double entry accounting means that for every entry there will be an
opposite an equal "counter" entry into a second account
3.  Finally, to get started at the beginning, you will have some "beginning
balances" entries.

Hope this all makes sense.  It may not covert over 100% --- and depending
upon how long you were using Quicken -- you could have a lot of
transactions.  I had transactions dated back to 2001 -- and decided I did
not want to carry all that stuff -- so I picked a cutoff date (1/1/2014) and
ended up deleting everything before that.It was a bit a work -- but in
the end -- very much worth it.  

Best of luck -- and I am sure of the experts here can give you a bit more
direction on the QIF file (I just don't remember what I did -- but it did
work!).

RE: Reports crash Gnucash

[Ken Pyzik]

Stan -- I am using 2.6.19 on 64-bit Windows 10.  While the reporting module
is indeed very slow (bug report already out there was this) and while it
does say "Not Responding", eventually the report does come up (after about
60-90 seconds).  

I agree that it may be way too long -- but it does technically work.  My
belief is that it should work for you if given enough time. 

That all being said -- for almost of us -- this is still considered a bug --
but it does work -- eventually.

Subject: Reports crash Gnucash

MODERATORS -- The entire list doesn't need to see this, but I'd appreciate
if you'd pass this on to the developers.

I wanted to like Gnucash, I really did, but it crashes e=whenever I try to
generate any report from any Gnucash file.

I installed Gnucash 2.6.19 (from link at Gnucash.org) on my 64-bit Windows 7
laptop and 64-bit Windows 8 laptop and started working my way through the
tutorial. When I made a scheduled transaction and couldn't see it in the
ledger, I attempted to display the report of scheduled transactions. Got
only a blank window, and when I clicked Close the title bar showed "not
responding". When I clicked the red x in the upper right corner to close the
window, I got "Gnucash has stopped working".
The same thing happened with every report I tried (maybe ten of them, min
various categories), and whether I had reports opening in a separate window
or not. This happens on both my laptops.

I looked in the FAQ Wiki
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_I_cannot_get_any_report_to_display_not_
even_the_sample_reports._All_that_displays_is_an_empty_tab.
and found a recommendation to change Internet options. That didn't help.

I followed the link from the FAQ to the bug report
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645273
which was entered SEVEN YEARS AGO. There were various suggestions related to
Internet Explorer, which I tried, but as other folks found, those
suggestions did not help.

I then Googled the gnucash-user archive and found nothing new, just rehashes
of the same problem.

HTML files and trace files were generated in my temp folder, but there's no
point in sending them since many others have done that already, yet the bug
remains unfixed.

I've already wasted about six hours trying unsuccessfully to work around the
bug, and several times that on the tutorial. I wanted to like Gnucash, and I
know the software is free, but without the ability to produce any reports
it's worth even less than I paid for it.

Extremely disappointing.

RE: import from quicken 2017 into gnucash - how to?

[Ken Pyzik]

David -- I believe the exportable format of quicken is readable by Gnucash
as a QIF file (import).  I could be mistaken - but I believe that is what I
used when I coverted almost 20 years of Quicken data to GnuCash.  

Two things to remember -- if you do the import into Gnucash and it does not
work, you can always start from scratch again.  Second, as you know,
categories no longer exist once in GnuCash - they are separate accounts.  

Hope that all makes sense.  Converted to GnuCash 6 months ago and have not
looked back.  GnuCash does everything I need and more -- without having to
pay the subscription price that Quicken is now extorting from its users.

RE: Year end issues

[Ken Pyzik]

Jack - - Not sure on the size constraints – someone else can maybe answer. 

 

With respect to getting it down to a manageable size – I can only speak from my 
experience.  When I transferred over from Quicken, I had transactions dating 
back to 2003.  Bringing them all over was messy.  But I did it on a test basis. 
 So, I was able to start over rather easily. 

When instead, I transferred over only from 2014 and forward, it still was not 
clean.  

 

So, what I finally decided to do was transfer over everything – and then 
eliminated all transactions I did not want “in mass”.  But before I did that – 
I noted what the beginning balances were for specific accounts BEFORE 
eliminating the transactions, plugged them in as the opening balances in a 
separate account and then started eliminating.  Interesting, the best part 
about GNU-CASH is that it has an automatic “imbalance” account that accumulates 
all the “out-of-balance” situations.  When I was finally done, I made sure 
everything was in balance – altered the opening balances according – and I was 
where I wanted to be.  

 

This may or may not work for you.  There is a little bit of trial and error 
involved.  The best thing to do is to make a backup copy – and work on it until 
you get it the way you like.  If you screw up – no biggie – you still have your 
production version.  When the test is finally the way you want it – enter any 
current transactions – rename the production file something new – and then go 
and rename the test account to the production name and make it your production 
going forward.  That’s what worked for me – and it worked like a charm in 
eliminating 9 years of data.  Good luck!

The file is very large and unwieldy already - are there any limits on the file

2016, the balance of the checking account was $1200 (i.e., as a result of all 
the transactions for 2017, the net effect was a -$700).  But you eliminated the 
transactions so the starting balance is now $1200 -- but that is not what your 
starting balance was on 1/1/2018.

So, one could isolate all the 2017 transactions -- place them in 2017 accounts 
-- calculate the net effect of all of those transactions on each account -- 
plug "net-effect-transactions" to the existing accounts with contra (balancing

Finally, if you really want to isolate 2017 - you could set up "checking

and start charging the new expenses, etc. to the new 2018 account.  But again - 
this has a tendency to double all your accounts.  That is why the reporting 
mechanism in there.   You can have continuous accounts, and isolate, for 
reporting, a number of transactions for any given period (a month, a year, a 
calendar year, a fiscal year, a 6-30 to 6-30 time period, etc.)

Hope that helps and did not confuse the subject.

No, there isn’t. The Close book feature simply creates a transaction that 
zeroes out your income and expense accounts as of a given date.

In a double entry accounting system, if you delete the expense side of the 
transaction, what do you suggest doing for the Checking account side? If you 
are desperate to clear out older transactions, you will most likely have to 
create a new file with a new set of opening balances. See

Of course, many people prefer to keep historical transactions, and use reports 
to extract subsets of their file as needed.

To the best of my knowledge - this person may be confusing this with Office
365 -- which would have no effect at all on Gnucash.   The usual OS for

RE: Reports Not Responding Windows 10

[Ken Pyzik]

TiBo TJ -- I have Windows 10 and while I see a similar behavior -- I have
found that you need to be patient and the report will eventually show up.
Try and wait for up to about 30 seconds.  I know it's a long time -- but it
eventually does show up.  This is a known bug that has been presented in the
archives here before.  Not sure why it is -- and it does require some
patience.

RE: bank entries

[Ken Pyzik]

Christine -- without seeing the entry it is difficult to determine why is it
doing what you say it is.  As a matter of principle, you must remember that
there must be a corresponding "other-side" to your deposit entry.   While
this may seem counter-intuitive, your deposit to your bank account needs to
have a corresponding (and opposite) entry to another account.   The way I
have mine is I have my bank account (account type BANK) and another account
called Income-deposits (account type INCOME).  When I make a deposit to my
bank account the "transfer account" (or other side of the entry) is to the
income account.You will notice that the deposit to a BANK type account
will be on the "left side" (thus increasing the balance of the bank account)
and the entry will be on the "right side" of the income-deposits account
which will be income and thus increase the value of this account.  

So it is very much dependent upon how you have setup your accounts.  

Hope that makes sense.

able to determine that I really did not need all the data and cut down to 6
years of data. 

Then, once I imported, I was able to delete a couple more years and was able
to get everything in sync and balanced.  It took a few days -- but I think
you can do it.  Additionally, if you get "good" balances on most of the
accounts, search the 'imbalance" account for those transactions that are not
in balance.  At the end of the process - it does work.   Best of luck.

Subject: Re: command line QIF import

Thank you for your answer David.

I am aware that QIF is a text file and I can open it in text editor. 

I have a 235000 lines QIF file created by quicken. Most of the transactions
are being imported properly but there are thousands failing as well. I have
no way to identify those failed transactions other than going line by line
in each account. What shall I "edit in quicken first" to insure a successful
import?
