RE: Issues with Jobs and Purchase Orders.
I agree Dave, and getting that done in 100 hours I think is optimistic. Realistically I think it is probably well beyond the scope of “free” software. If the developers ever considered offering a “Pro” version of GnuCash, on a pay per license basis, that might work. NCH gets $70 a copy for theirs, and I think at its core, GnuCash is a better product, But I’m not really familiar with Gnu’s philosophy.

About time in transaction
I'd like to know is it possible input the time in transactions? It's really important for me to track the history.. For example "2017-04-01 08:00" paid to McDonal for Food:Breadfast. And is it possible have a web version?

Newbie account matching
Hi, I had just switched to gnucash from many years of quicken. So, far it works fine. The only problem is account matching. I am not looking into something fancy - the vast majority of our expenses is in less than 10 stores and less than 10 gas stations, everything else I can classify manually. In addition to that there are quirks/bugs per reporting company. I suppose I can easily write a script that will perform proper matching. However, I am using it on win10 and there are no python bindings. Hence I have to write a standalone pre-processor that will read downloaded file, fix the quirks and add explicit account-id string. My current plan is to generate .csv file and then import it. Should I target .qif instead? What strings should I use as account-ids in .csv file? Say if want something to be matched to 'Expenses:Auto:Gas' what string should I use? Should I add any configuration for this to happen?

Changing the default field in search
Whenever I use Search, I am usually picking "Value" as the field I am searching for. Is there a way to make Value the default when I choose Search?

Re: Add columns to the Generic import transaction matcher

Historically (I wrote quite a bit of the initial UI code for the importer and the OFX import code way back), the reason the UX was done this way is that in most cases the transactions involve an expense or revenue account and the additional column would be wasted space. The times it would be useful are, as you pointed out, when you have transfers between two accounts in the same file. It turned out that there were more edge cases than I initially anticipated, and just never got around to writing the code to handle them. Low hanging fruits: - Adding a column should be really trivial as a workaround for now (no logic changes, just boilerplate). - Proper handling of OFX transfers is off course ideal. BUT: - Keep in mind that this assumes that the OFX account numbers match between the accounts. One of the caveats I ran into is that this assumption wasn't always true. - You have to handle the annoying case where this is the first time gnucash sees the second account. -- Benoit Grégoire, ing., PMP, PSM III ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

The catch in your case is that it requires a locale defined in /usr/share/locale, and en_CH isn't one of them, so GnuCash goes looking for something that will work, starting with the country. It apparently finds fr_CH first. You can try setting Region to United States and in the advanced sheet change the currency to CHF, but that will probably flip the separators so that thousands is , and decimal is . in places where the number is formatted with LC_NUMERIC instead of LC_MONETARY. Incidentally, Apple's Swiss POSIX locales that has the separator as . instead of ' in LC_MONETARY; they have ' ' (space) as the separator in LC_NUMERIC.
