Indeed, I'm sorry about that.

I got carried away by Groups.io and Nabble. Now at least we know the
various options and possible advantages or disadvantages.

Re: Total Liabilities & Equity entry in default Balance Sheet report

Uttam, 
 
The report is likely correct. 
 
Assets = Liabilities + Equity 
 
You are telling us that: 
 
37k = 121k 
 
That’s impossible. 
 
What you really have is this: 
 
Assets (37k) = Liabilities (79k) + Equity (-42k) 
 
or 
 
37k = 37k 
 
Which is a true statement and means your books are in balance.

> I am not using any special software to access; just my browser. 

That's the problem, website owners trick browsers into downloading and
using software automatically. You can take a proof of this by making a
simple .html document/page yourself, like so:

# Begin of file


  

  JavaScript disabled. Please answer this yourself: 2 + 2 = ?


  document.write("JavaScript enabled. The web browser will answer this for 
you: 2 + 2 = " + (2 + 2));

  

# End of file

As you can see: If JavaScript is disabled, your web browser won't be
tricked into running software automatically. Running software through
JavaScript isn't problematic. The problem is running *non-free* software
through JavaScript, because the language being used is made to run by
the visitor's web browser. This goes to show that the language used
doesn't matter.

Technical note: Some people advocate for a new web "client-side"
language, but changing the language doesn't change the fact that it's
still client-side, and most software is run automatically without a
standard way to check if it's free/libre software, and also will
probably not have a yes/no dialog or a whitelist.

Re: Schedule Transactions only auto run on startup

2017-05-12 Thread Dave H
Yes I believe the variables are limited to calculating transaction amounts
and I don't really have a use for them as I'm happy to live with an
estimated amount and update the actual amount when the transaction hits the
bank account.

I have regular fortnightly transactions where the amounts are generally
fixed rent and would like the SX to increment the periods in the
DESCRIPTION of the transactions :-)

i.e.

Statement From <> to <> (description line)
and also For Period <>  to  <> (split
description)

in the next iteration is automatically updated to

Statement From <> + 14  to <> +14
(description line) and also For Period <>  + 14 to
 <> +14 (split description).

Yeah I know, wishful thinking :-)

Cheers Dave H.

Re: Need a static version of GNUCash

2017-05-12 Thread Geert Janssens
It's more complicated than that.

Apart from the external dependencies being dynamically loaded, gnucash itself 
is also written in a modular way. These modules are runtime searched and loaded 
using a self written module management system. If you want to build a static 
version of gnucash you'd have to replace this module system as well.

Just a point of clarification.  GnuCash is not using Nabble.  Nabble is
self-contained service that happens to have chosen to include the GnuCash
mailing lists in their repertoire.  It was not something that any gnucash
developer requested of them, and indeed the gnucash developers have no
visibility into it.

There are a bunch of users that use nabble -- their messages get forwarded
to the mailing list and, if they are not subscribed, get moderated before
being sent through.

Regardless, nabble, like groups.io, is a hosted service.  It's not
something we could run/maintain ourselves which is the end goal.

Re: Groups.io

2017-05-12 Thread Adonay Felipe Nogueira
It's the first time I'm hearing about Nabble, but it seems that it
requires the website visitor to use non-free software.

The page you linked has the following non-free software:

- [[/util/jquery-1.7.2.pack.js]].

  - This one might be non-free. This depends on whether "the license
specified in the website's repository" exists, and also on how
Nabble proprietors interprete the Expat License (the license in
which jQuery 1.7.2 is provided by defautl), because the Expat
doesn't require the complete corresponding source files to be made
available somehow, it only allows you to "study", so it essentially
tells you to "accept this chunk of unreadable phrases that do
something and good luck trying to adapt it to your needs", although
it *is* good practice *from free/libre software activists* to
provide the complete corresponding source. See
[[https://jquery.org/license/#web-sites]].

- [[/util/nabbledropdown-2.4.1.pack.js]].

- [[/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=javascript_library&v=102]].

- [[http://trk.blasma.com/trk5.js?290694]].

- All the things between the various "" tags.

NOTE This list isn't exhaustive, there might be more non-free software
being forced to the visitors in that page.

Re: Need a static version of GNUCash

2017-05-12 Thread Buddha Buck
I think it is *possible* to make a static version of GnuCash, but it is
impractical.

>From the GnuCash side, it would involve modifying the build engine's calls
to the compilers and linkers to build and link statically instead of
dynamically. The problem is that when it tries to link against, say
libgtk2.a, instead of libgtk2.so, it'll fail, because it's highly unlikely
that the static libgtk2.a exists on your system. Insert into that statement
each library that GnuCash actually uses.

You would have to build static versions of all the dependencies of GnuCash,
and their dependencies, etc. There may even be some dependencies which, for
other reasons, cannot be built statically, and then the whole process would
fail.

Perhaps I’m confused now with a different topic but I just looked at the 
website.

It’s right there at the bottom, above News:

"GnuCash for Android

The GnuCash team recommends the GnuCash for Android app. This app allows you to 
keep track of your financial transactions on the go for later import into the 
desktop version of GnuCash.

Note that GnuCash for Android is not a port of the GnuCash program to Android."

There’s also a banner link to get it on the Google Play Store.

I would suspect people will be coming to the user mailing list looking for help 
with the Android app considering how this is presented, especially with getting 
data into the desktop version. Maybe the last sentence was intended to convey 
this but I would say it is not very clear.

Maybe something along the lines of it being an independent project and to seek 
help there would do the trick.

just my few ¢,

I see. I just ran a test SX and I had unchecked the ‘Notify me when created’ 
option. I really didn’t like the result. It did tell me one was created but no 
other info about that TX whatsoever. It oddly also told me that none needed to 
be created though it had just done so and in fact needed to do so ‘since last 
run.’ I suppose the ‘need to’ might refer to SX that would need my approval, of 
which there were none. But it still read oddly.

I agree, it would be nice to see maybe a mini-register with all splits visible 
showing the actual transactions created or to be approved. I just learned 
variables are possible and require user input. I wonder if a useless variable 
like “ × a " might be something of a workaround. (where I’d enter “1” as the

The registers that were left open stayed at 5/10/17. Opening new registers or 
re-opening those left open resulted in blank transaction entries at the bottom 
with the current date. So nothing special, GC just reading the current date 
when the register opens.

Why?  << explain your need >>

As John told you, gnucash uses loadable modules.

Back in my working days, the systems I maintained had some very large 
static modules (gigantic by the experience of most programmers here). 
One of the things I did over those years is to make all of those 
"pseudo-static" << the first time a module was needed, dynamic call but 
then the address where loaded to saved, and subsequent calls static to 
that address; assembler stuff.
That meant just as fast running as if static calls BUT a module could be 
changed without needing to link-edit the entire program. Until all but a 
reserved amount of memory left and then any additional modules called 
dynamic. >>


There should be need for those sort of tricks now. Our little computers 
are faster than the big mainframes of several decades ago.

Neither GnuCash (in spite of its name) nor GnuCash for Android have any 
association with the GNU project beyond using the GPL. 

Our webpage makes no mention of GfA, though perhaps it should.

GnuCash cannot be built static, it is largely implemented with loadable 
modules. Sorry.

You need to open the .dmg and drag the file Gnucash to the Applications folder. 
Once Finder finishes copying it you can eject the dmg. You'll start Gnucash by 
double-clicking it in Finder.

QFX: Account Number Changed & Import is confused

2017-05-12 Thread Waltr via gnucash-user
My credit card company changed the account number. Now when I try to download 
OFX/QFX transactions, gnucash (2.6.4/OSX 10.11) creates a sub-account under the 
original cc and doesn't show transactions under the new account number.

I read Jim DeLaHunt's description of xml munging but wonder if there is an 
easier way.

I just looked at the xml code using xcode and found the


...

...
online id
""


where  is the company (cc issuer name) and  is the actual account 
number.

Can this be fixed by just changing the n to the new credit card number in 
the xml and fix what is broken?

At some point I'd like to migrate this to postgresql but for two reasons: 1. 
I'm absolutely terrified of losing data, and there is no postgres option in the 
file/save as.

Hi everybody
I need to have a pure static version of GNUCash (64bit Linux)

I tried to compile it normal way, but when ever I touch a compiler it never
worked out.
Can please someone compile a static version (newest stable) for me?

Thanx a lot!
