Multisplit is a gnucash specific variant of a csv file. In short it's csv in which certain fields can be left empty if they are the same on consecutive rows. This avoids having to repeat transaction specific data for each split of a transaction. Or put differently, the format expects full trans

It's very likely it's something to do with Ubuntu. As I understand it while Ubuntu is gnome based, they use their own theme (Yaroo?). It's very likely that theme does something that's not compatible with the dropdown GnuCash uses for accounts in the register code. But to be fair, I could also

Hi Michael, That should work. There is one pitfall with the way saved report configurations are handled in gnucash, but that is in general and not specific to your situation: saved rerport configurations are shared by all your books even though their configuration details may only make sens
