Er no I meant the ones in your email of about 15 hours ago as follows. First Windows one gave me a 404 error but I managed to workaround it by replacing the 4.900 and 4.901 by 4.902. Cheers David H.

John, Ta for that. 1 question - download links seem to be pointing to 4.900 / 4.901 not 4.902 ? Thanks David H.

Re: [GNC-dev] [GNC] GnuCash 4.900 Released
Hi Bob, Yes, I've just done that with the same result. Reverted to 4.13 and a saved version of my Reports - that was all good with Report configs and Finance Quote all looking good. Reinstalled the nightly version as you suggested but the results are just the same - doesn't seem to find my last file opened, still displays the function name only. Reports have lost their saved configs and some have reverted to selecting every account. Checked "File About" and the file locations are identical between both versions. It almost sounds like a permissions error - i.e. can't read configs but that's a bit strange as when I updated one of my saved report configs it created a saved-reports-2.8-Backup in C:\Users\halvey\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash. Will wait for an updated version :-) Thanks David H.

I had a number of problems as per the following:- System --- Lenovo laptop, Intel i5, 8 Gb ram, Gnucash 4.13 / Finance Quote 1.54 / Win 10 Pro, Version 22H2, OS Build 19044.2486, Win32 strawberry-perl 5.32.1.1 #1 Sun Jan 24 12:17:47 2021 i386 Process Installed 4.900 which auto uninstalled 4.13. Started Gnucash 4.900 which displayed the "Tip of The Day" and then the "Welcome to Gnucash" dialogs. Unfortunately Gnucash 4.900 didn't seem to find my xml data file and the Most Recent file list just displays "RecentFile0Action" (Function name?) instead of the usual 2-3 file names. Manually opened the last file used which is just a copy of my usual Gnucash file, it opened fine and re-displayed all the tabs that were previously open. Got the message about the Budget amounts being fixed during the open process. It doesn't seem to be finding my saved report options - the report names are included in the save report config list but no options and the Accounts Selected has reverted to all accounts. Get quotes is now not working - the button is simply greyed out. Like Glenn I also can't turn off the Tip of the Day or the Display Welcome Dialog Again? and on exiting and restarting Gnucash I repeatedly get prompted to Create a new set of accounts / Import my QIF files / Open the new user tutorial. Also yesterday I happened to update and save Report Options for a saved report configuration and it seemed Gnucash crashed, repeating the process today did NOT result in a crash. Hope this helps and once again thanks to you and the other devs for all your hard work on Gnucash. Regards David H.

Thanks John, working on both Monterey and Big Sur now.

Re: [GNC-dev] Report with Fiscal Year
This is getting ridiculous, can we stop the personal attacks now please. Let's just accept that different countries call it Fiscal Year and others call it Financial Year - my own accountant here in Oz calls it Financial Year and that is also what we called it in NZ when I lived there. I guess we're a bit more relaxed about it down under :-) As to your last comment well, it is an uphill battle sometimes. Just think about why there is even a Deposit/Withdrawal flag option - because users struggle to think in terms of statement debits and credits and whether they are from the banks point of view or their own. Gnucash is littered with users that are totally new to double entry accounting and sometimes seem unable to even read a User Guide/Tutorial and Concepts guide :-( Cheers David Halverson.

Re: [GNC-dev] Report with Fiscal Year
Christopher, Good to see you’re on to it :-) Thanks for all the work you’ve been putting in on the reports over the last few years as well. I see references/comments in the PR referring to “Fiscal” year. Just my view but “Fiscal” seems to be one of those terms that are rarely used by anyone except federal treasurers and finance reporters. Perhaps more understandable to use FinYear / FinancialYear or similar. I currently have saved txn report configs for each financial year for the last 10 years for my investment property and work related expenses :-) Cheers, David H.

Re: [GNC-dev] Report with Fiscal Year
Not as simple as just changing the code in date-utilities.scm tho is it ? Financial years vary all over the globe so if it's flywire's plan to hard code this in date-utilities.scm it will only work for Australia. You really need to add something in preferences so users can set the start and possibly end months of the user's financial year and it can be picked up from there ? Cheers David H.

There is no 3.11 - it's version 4.0 and it was released just this morning :-) Cheers David H.

Re: [GNC-dev] GnuCash 4.0 Released
Nope I checked there as well :-(. As I said I upgraded from 3.906 where I was seeing them under the Windows menu so not sure this affects anything at all. Upgrading seemed to reset my default column widths back to the basic defaults as the Transfer column narrowed considerably but going in and changing column widths still doesn't give me the two menu items on either the View or Windows menus ???

Re: [GNC-dev] GnuCash 4.0 Released
Also I'm not seeing this on MacOS Catalina after upgrading from 3.906 to 4.0, even though I was seeing it on 3.906... Two menu items are added to the Windows menu when a Register, Bill, Invoice, or Voucher tab has focus: • Use as Default Layout for this Register Group • Reset Default Layout for this Register Group And yes it says version 4.0 when opening up :-) Cheers David H.

Re: [GNC-dev] Feedback on GnuCash 3.903
Hi Rob, FYI - I've just installed 3.904 in case it makes a difference... 1) Well that's the issue I guess - accounts grow to fill the available space :-) Gnucash has given me plenty of space/nesting ability over the years so some of my account names are quite long eg "Assets:Fixed Assets:Superannuation:Super - David:Super:Super Income Account" and "Expenses:Mobile Phone:David:xxx: 999 999:Month to Month Plan". So when I revert to defaults (in transaction journal view) because there's nothing in the split description and the transaction description is only about 25 characters it looks a bit ridiculous to have the description column so large and the account name truncated so severely. I'm not sure that "Expenses:Automobile:Gasoline" is a sufficiently good example to be using to base the default column width on - even my auto expenses are broken down by vehicle so end up looking more like "Expenses:Auto:Nissan XTrail:Repairs and Maintenance". 2) Perhaps it would be better to base it on the "Tot Funds Out" header length which is 2 characters longer instead as that's what is being truncated. Yes I worked out that depending on which line was highlighted the column headers/double clicking changed. Second point seems to have resolved itself - not sure if it was connected to the Tools-->General default setting (point 3) that I used moments ago but the "Created Transactions" tab now appears to be using the column widths I expected. 3) Ah my bad - to my knowledge I have never used any Journals in Gnucash in my life so didn't realise this would affect the scheduled txn layout - all good now. Also thanks to you and the other devs for all your hard work on gnucash, it is much appreciated. As a former C# developer I know just how hard it can be to keep everyone happy :-) Cheers David H.

Re: [GNC-dev] Feedback on GnuCash 3.903
Geert, Thanks for your explanation but I still don't understand what the 6 different register types you refer to are - can you point me to where these are described? My reason for having different column widths is as previously posted ... "... I have 2 savings accounts and 4 credit card accounts that I have open all the time and over the years I've gone to the trouble of setting these up just the way I like them. Of course flicking through the register tabs the columns aren't all in the same places as I'm using accounts with different nesting levels in each so the Transfer column widths vary even within each account type. Are you saying that these would be treated as 2 register types and you are going to blow away all my good work and just randomly choose one of the open settings as the default when you remove old configurations? " Why do I like things just the way they are ? Well it generally depends on the level of nesting in my EXPENSES category - some of them are nested to 6 levels deep so the TRANSFER column is wider in a couple of these registers and the DESCRIPTION column narrower than others. It's like re-opening Gnucash and having the same tabs open I guess, if I close a register tab and re-open it, it looks exactly the same as when I left it :-) I must confess that I did see this unfolding a little while ago on this mailing list but it didn't sink in that you would be blowing all my existing settings away altogether. I thought that this was only to set up a default for a register that hadn't yet been opened/didn't already have settings... My understanding of DEFAULT is that it's only a starting point and I assumed that my existing settings would remain unchanged even if they were different within the same register type. However I appreciate that you can't please everyone and that things have to move on so I'm going to download this version, backup my existing settings, install on one of my Windows pc's and see what it messes with and if it really is going to upset my apple cart :-) Happy to provide feedback as to whether I see it as an issue after I see it in practice... It might also be beneficial to explain what's happening on the wider user list before it goes live, I don't think I've seen any mention of this change there. I know you said you are responding to complaints re setting register column widths but you know what they say "the noisy wheel gets the most oil" and it appears the silent majority are content with things as is. Getting rid of that hidden automatic expansion on the description column will probably also alleviate some of the complaints. Thanks David H.

Re: [GNC-dev] Feedback on GnuCash 3.903
Rob, Please clarify this. I have 2 savings accounts and 4 credit card accounts that I have open all the time and over the years I've gone to the trouble of setting these up just the way I like them. Of course flicking through the register tabs the columns aren't all in the same places as I'm using accounts with different nesting levels in each so the Transfer column widths vary even within each account type. Are you saying that these would be treated as 2 register types and you are going to blow away all my good work and just randomly choose one of the open settings as the default when you remove old configurations?

Re: [GNC-dev] Question about account list and typeahead
Hi David, Thanks for the tip, I've never noticed it on the Edit menu. I see it seems to return all accounts that contain the search target no matter what level in the account string and also returns partial matches :-). My searching is generally limited to using the Find dialogue which unfortunately doesn't include a search history so if I get the asset/liability/whatever that I'm searching in wrong I then have to try another one and retype what I've recently entered.

Re: [GNC-dev] Robust error handling and respecting the Apha Vantage API limits in gnc-fq-helper.
Mike/Edward, I'm not sure if either of you have seen Vince's posting in
Finance-quote-devel which seems
like he's working on a similar thing?
Copy below
Cheers Dave H
Hi,
In June, Erik sent a message about his idea for cleaning up the FQ API to
have consistent ways to set/get instance variables and expand new to allow
for named parameters and module specific data.
One benefit is a sustainable way to enable users to register API keys for
specific modules.
I just pushed the branch "new-new" to explore these ideas.
See the file
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/new-new/new-API-notes.txt
for
details about the set/get methods.
I used the new API to thread an API key to the IEXCloud module from the
test suite as an example:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/new-new/t/iexcloud.t
If there is agreement to proceed with the API update there are a few things
to do and I can help:
- updating the POD documentation for Quote.pm
- enabling AlphaVantage to use the module specific data as another source
for its API key
- renew discussion with gnucash developers on enabling users to specify API
keys for more modules
Best,
Vince

Re: [GNC-dev] A non-techie in need of help
Hi Ellen, I wonder if you are encountering the same issue I had when updating Win 10 Pro from version 1809 to 1903. My old Lenovo laptop circa 2010 was originally running Win 7 Enterprise which I updated to Win 10 Pro when Microsoft were offering the free upgrade to Win 10. Not long ago I had a message under updates to the affect that my pc wasn't quite ready for 1903 , then a bit later got some interim updates which must have readied it as shortly after that I got the actual 1903 updates. After the update to 1903 and subsequent reboot all seemed ok except that Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive or Backup and Sync suddenly couldn't find their local folders under C:\Users\David. Looking under C:\Users I found that the update seemed to have duplicated my User Name and I now also had a C:\Users\David.000 user folder in addition to the original C:\Users\David folder. There were a few files remaining in the C:\Users\David folder but the bulk of them had been moved over to under the newly created C:\Users\David.000 folder and also the registry seemed to have been updated in many cases (perhaps all ?) to point to C:\Users\David.000. I suggest you take a look in C:\Users to see if the update to version 1903 has done the same thing to your C:\Users folder as it did to me. If so check the Desktop folder - it's in your user folder, in my case it's in C:\Users\David\Desktop but it got moved/renamed to C:\Users\David.000\Desktop as part of the update. If you find it there, as David Cousens mentioned in his reply you can just start GnuCash and use File >> Open in GnuCash to navigate to the file and open it. Failing that if you have a backup in the cloud you may have to copy your backup file down to your desktop. Hope this helps, Regards David H. On Wed, 31 Jul 2019 at 13:23, Ellen S.
