Empty account tab

2011-03-17 Thread Cristian Marchi
I was browsing through the tutorials and concepts guide and I've found 
out that chapter 3.3.2 [1] says to not select any account group from the 
new hierarchy account assistant. I noticed that if I don't select any of 
the available predefined structures, the forward button is greyed out. 
So I can't see no way to get an empty accounts tab unless I select at 
least one of the predefined accounts groups and I then delete each top 
level account from the accounts tab. Is this behavior intended? Is it 
right that a user need to start at least with a predefined account 
structure instead of being able to create one completely from scratch? 
Would it be a good idea to add an entry in the predefined accounts 
groups saying empty structure, blank page or something like that? 
Just some thought.


Thanks
Cristian

If they cancel out of the druid they should get an empty account tree.

Re: Empty account tab

2011-03-17 Thread Cristian Marchi
Ok! I dont' get automatically an empty accounts tab but an empty gnucash 
window without the possibility to select operation-new account. Further 
testing showed me that with View-New accounts page I get what i want if 
I cancel the assistant. I think to remember that in 2.2 series you got 
an empty accounts tab if you canceled the druid; maybe I'm wrong...


By the way thanks  Derek

Re: Interactive Javascript + Canvas (jqPlot) powered graphs

Phil,

Here are two samples:

http://q3aiml.net/gnucash-jqplot-examples/expense-bar.html
http://q3aiml.net/gnucash-jqplot-examples/expense-bar.html
http://q3aiml.net/gnucash-jqplot-examples/expense-pie.html

Also, do you happen to know if there is an example gnucash file anywhere
that I could use in the future to generate samples without using my own
data? I looked in the examples directory but all the ones I found were very
simple and didn't have many transactions, so I wound up importing one of the
qif files and massaging it to look somewhat decent.

RE: Gnucash 2.4.4 released

2011-03-17 Thread John Layman
GnuCash 2.4.4 is a non-starter under Windows XP SP3.  I uninstalled 2.4.3,
installed 2.4.4, opened my personal books and all appeared well.  However,
when I opened my business books, GnuCash unceremoniously terminated, leaving
behind the .lck file but not so much as an error message or anything
suggestive in the event log.  Since I'd had no problem moving from 2.4.0 to
2.4.2, I restored a disk image made prior to the install and retraced my
steps several times to be certain the install was clean.  I tried several
approaches to opening the business file, and did eventually succeed in
getting it opened to the accounts tab, but the program rowffed the moment I
tried to expand one of the top-level accounts.  I did bring up Process
Explorer and watch the gnucash processes silently blink off.  Other than
reporting that they terminated, I can offer nothing helpful, I'm afraid.

So, I'm back to 2.4.3.

Let's not get carried away: Gnucash won't run in Gtk+-3 until someone rewrites 
the register and cleans up all of the other gtk-deprecated code. 

Speaking of rewriting the register, though, I noticed a branch called register 
rewrite when I was working on the git mirror. It looks like Jaff Green and 
Andreas Köhler were working on it, but abruptly stopped in early 2008. Does 
anyone remember remember anything about it?

John Ralls
