[GNC] Unable to open new version
For years (2011?) I have used GnuCash to keep my personal accounts. A few years ago I could not open the program and had to download the new version. A few days ago again I could not open the program to update some information, and again it would not load. So I thought a similar thing had occurred and downloaded the latest version. Like a fool I deleted the old app. When I tried to open the app, Apple would not open the program because “the program was not purchased from the Apple App Store”. I fixed that problem but now when I open the program I get a new blank page not my usual accounts. Everything has been corrected with the Apple techs and they say to contact you to see if there is someway to resurrect the accounts.

Re: [GNC] Help breaking up a file
I apparently looked at the file size wrong. It is actually only 1.38 MB. That is compressed. It does take about 23 seconds to open the file though from a local drive.

Re: [GNC] macOS gnc 3.2
It’s because Gtk2 and Gtk3 use different paths to the accelerators. Gtk3 can read the Gtk2 paths but not vice-versa. Because Gtk2 had the ability to change accelerators from the menus (I think that was removed from Gtk3 but I’m not sure, and so I haven’t changed the logic) GnuCash writes out a new accelerator map when you quit. The accelerator map file is ~/Library/Application Support/Gnucash/accelerator-map. It occurs to me that another workaround besides deleting it before launching GnuCash 2.6.x would be to make it read-only *after* running GnuCash 2.6 and before running GnuCash 3: chmod a-w ~/Library/Application Support/Gnucash/accelerator-map Regards, John Ralls > On Aug 27, 2018, at 7:27 PM, David T. via gnucash-user > wrote: > > Adrien, > > It’s been going on a while, and it’s still there.

Adrien, It’s been going on a while, and it’s still there. I am using 2.6.19 and 3.1.2. It has something to do with how GTK3 handles accelerator keys (or something like that). It’s mostly an inconvenience, since there is a workaround that involves deleting a file that GTK3 creates (or something like that).

[GNC] Using CSV Importer and Google for Commodity Prices
Hello, I, like many others, have encountered numerous headaches over the last year due to the turmoil around retrieving commodity price quotes. I appreciated being able to retrieve prices on an occasional basis and see, broadly speaking, how my holdings were performing. I bemoaned the loss of Yahoo! as a F::Q price source, and followed the flock to AlphaVantage, and have seen that method fail as well. I had resigned myself to logging on to my various online accounts occasionally in order to see in general how the portfolio was doing, but I missed the golden era of stock quotes and reporting in GnuCash (2017?). I was intrigued by the release of GC3, and its new CSV importer, but wasn’t sure I was all that interested in digging into it as a means of obtaining prices. But then I saw the recent thread of another user getting their prices into GC this way, so I decided to give it a try. What I was shooting for is a system that allows me to reasonably quickly generate a list of prices and put them into the PriceDB. I thought I’d share with the list the results. First off, I am using Google’s financial functions (which retrieves prices based on a ticker symbol) in an online Sheets file. I created a worksheet that pulls ticker symbols from a second worksheet, has a column that uses this symbol to pull a price, and a third column set to calculate today’s date. Next, I opened GnuCash, ran the Advanced Portfolio report, copied the entire contents and pasted it directly into my SRC worksheet. Now the PriceDB worksheet is fully populated with all the commodites in my GnuCash file, and will retrieve current prices for all of them. Then I copy this data and paste it into a text file and save it with a csv extension. The GnuCash importer then can import these prices; on the configuration page, I had to ensure that it used tabs as the delimiter, followed the correct date formatting, and had all the other settings correct, but once that was done, the importer was able to pull all the prices in quite quickly. Conveniently, the importer skips duplicate entries, which is helpful since the Advanced Portfolio doesn’t aggregate commodities across accounts. Once I had gotten things to work, I was able to save the importer settings to smooth future imports. I expect that this will allow me to update my pricedb on the sporadic basis that I need, without being unduly burdensome. This is the point where I send my gratitude to the GnuCash development team—and Geert in particular—for working to rewrite the csv importer. Thank you, Geert! David For those who are interested, the Sheets formulas I use are listed below: For the Ticker Symbol cell, a simple reference to the cell with the ticker symbol from the Advanced Portfolio (SRC is the sheet name of the Advanced Portfolio source data): =SRC!B3 For the date cell, returning blank if the referenced cell is empty*: =if(ISBLANK(A3),"",text(TODAY(),"mm-dd-")) For the Price cell, returning blank if the referenced cell is empty*: =if(ISBLANK($A3), "", GOOGLEFINANCE($A3,"Price")) * By testing if the cell is empty, I can put the same formula into literally hundred of rows. Then, if the number of commodities in my holdings goes up (or down), the sheet will only show information for commodities that are present. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Process Payment and convenience fees
Justin, One other comment. You do not say whether this fee is being paid to the utility company or a third party, e.g. bank is imposing it for handling the transaction. In the latter case, it would make more sense to track it separately from the charges by the utility company. If it is imposed by the utility company itself, then it is only necessary to track it separately as an expense if you feel knowing that information is of benefit to you, i.e you wish to minimize the fees you pay. I would challenge the utility company if the fee goes to them. If it is a handling charge for using a credit card for payment for example, and you have other options for payment which don't incur the fee, then it should be a separate line item in your bill with separate totals for the different payment options. There may also be legislative reasons that the fee has to be separate from the bill, but that should only affect disclosure of the fee, not inclusion in the total owing but legislators sometimes ,make life diffcult for businesses.

Re: [GNC] help with software
Hi Allison, In case you have trouble following the mail thread below, Sounds like a bug that is already fixed in latest version. Problem occurs in MS Windows when GnuCash is closed while it is minimized, say by right clicking on Gnucash icon in task bar, and selecting 'Close'. Either upgrade to latest version or edit .gcm file to replace both -32000 values with 0. I think you can find this bug in http://bugs.gcucash.org by searching for 'minimized' - I think I entered this bug with American spelling even though I'm Australian, as I guess there are many more American users than English.

It's a personal decision but there are only a few weeks till 3.3 so you might wait. On the other hand since you have a Mac you have the luxury of being able to have as many GnuCash versions as you like, just make sure that they either have different names or are in different folders.

Re: [GNC] Veihicle mileage cost such in HomeBank?
My solution is to have an Expenses:Mileage account, with an unused/obsolete currency, and change its symbol to "km". I only record business mileage, i.e. description: "travel to client in next town", dated 01/05/2018 * Expenses:Business:Mileage +40km * Equity:Mileage -40km Thus my annual Transaction Report to accountant Expenses:Business:* will include aggregate amounts. For added convenience, the currency can be converted to own currency via options, using currency exchange rate = official govt mileage rate, thus the $claimable is generated. But I'd keep in original "km" currency for clarity. The disadvantage is it'll mess up net worth. Thus there's no need to keep a separate spreadsheet.

You have a couple of options according to her: 1. Include the fee as part of the utility expense. 2. Create a separate expense account. Do the latter if you want to keep track of the total expenses through the fee. The former if you don't care. Note that with the first you won't balance at the end of the year with any YTD totals the utility company might produce (for reconciling purposes). As for the implementation of the payment, I'd just add another split for the fee amount with the expense side going to whichever expense account you decide making the total out of CC the $603.49. >> On Aug 26, 2018, at 12:16 PM, Justin H Haynes >> wrote: >> >> I have two invoices to pay to a utility company.

Your other option is to just modify the payment transaction and add the split for $3.49 to Expenses:Bank Fees (or wherever you want to record it). Did you get charged $600 or $603.49? If the latter, then you can just manually increase the Asset:Bank split and add the expense split. If the former, then you might have more work to do.

Re: [GNC] Process Payment and convenience fees
Where to record the expense is likely a personal preference. Talk to your CPA if you have concerns, especially if you’re itemizing deductions and calculating percentages for a home business. While you can edit the transaction in the A/P (and A/R) register, just to be safe, I always use the other register. So in this case, the credit card register. (you can always use the ‘jump’ feature to save some time getting there if needed) It is safe to edit the main split, in this case, the credit card amount to reflect its actual total. I do this frequently with no issues. If you edit the individual payments that are posted against A/P then you’ll have to edit the payment (right-click menu) and re-apply them.

Re: [GNC] AlphaVantage Deal
Hello Richard, What version of GC are you using? I have been trying to get yahooJSON working in GC, but had no luck so far. I am using version 3.2. F::Q works for yahooJSON, but inside GC it does not fetch. Do you know what files are connected in GC to this yahooJSON fetching?

Re: [GNC] Veihicle mileage cost such in HomeBank?
I would think it possible to do this in your regular books, with a bit of care. I would favor using equity accounts only, but I suppose using Income/Expense (as you noted are really Equity anyway) is probably easier for many to wrap their head around. The care would come in that you’d need to create new parent accounts of your fundamental type choice, and be sure not to include that part of your tree in ’normal’ reports.

Re: [GNC] Help breaking up a file
Eric, What version of Gnucash are you currently using and on what operating system? If it is 3.2, you can export the transactions using the default export format to a csv file and import them using the same default format. The format is selectable in the setup assistants for both export (here just use the default settings in the first pane of the assistant and don't change them) and on import select the GnuCash Export Setting in the Load and Save Settings combo box at the top. I did this this afternoon with a couple of month's data while testing out some changes I was making to the importer and it worked flawlessly apart from one quirk. You have to make sure the default date format when you import the exported data matches the date format for your locale or whatever date format you have set in the GnuCash preferences for dates for your books. My understanding is that before v3 GnuCash was unable to easily reimport its own export data but from V3.0 on this should work OK so if you are using a v2.6 variant this may be the problem and causing the errors on import. I would try it with a small block of data initially until you are sure you have the settings right.

Yes, it is important to be able to access historical data. But important to consider how often one needs to do that. It doesn't hurt very much if rare operations are slow as long as frequent operations are fast. Thus you could consider (for that third choice) at the end of the current year opening a new set off books for the next year. You would do this from the end of the year Balance Sheet << export the CoA and then plug in the standing account balances from the Balance Sheet >> You then open gnucash with this new set of books for continuing on BUT can always open the old file if and when you need to look at historical data. Personally (for added safety) I would have burned that file (the old books) on ROM medium and when wanting to look at historical data, slip that disk in and then tell gnucash to open* THAT file (rather than the current books).

Re: [GNC] Process Payment and convenience fees
It worked just fine. From the Accounts Payable register, I edited the payment transaction and added two splits - 1 from the Liabilities:Credit Card account to pay the fee, and 1 to the Expenses:Fees. In the reference field, I left all the “Payment” splits generated by GNUCash alone, and for the 2 I added, I put “Fee” in that field. So the payment amount in billing is correct, but I still have the fee recorded in the transaction. It is probably a good idea not to change the payment split I would guess. > On Aug 26, 2018, at 12:16 PM, Justin H Haynes wrote: > > I have two invoices to pay to a utility company.
