Re: [GNC] Uninstall GC
Denis $cd ~/Applications/build-gnucash-3.1 $make uninstall should do it since you installed in HOME/.local HOME is just /home/ where is your username on the system. I don't install there but use /usr/local for system wide installation not individual user so I am not sure of the exact details of how GnuCash installs in HOME/.local. If it doesn't then you can remove the installation manually. If the build directory is intact it will have a file install_manifest.txt which will list where all the files are installed to. All files will be under the .local hidden directory. Uee Ctrl-H in your file manager to display hidden directories. I think that works on Ubuntu as well as Linux Mint. Check what files are present in HOME/.local. How you proceed will depend if you have installed any other software in this location. If you are lucky it will possibley have a file gnucash which has subdirectories like bin, share, lib, etc. If this is the case then deleting the gnucash directory and contents will completely remove the gnucash application with no problems. If it isn't in a gnucash directory it will probably just have bin,share, lib,etc directories directly under HOME/.local . In this case you will need to check whether any other applications are installed. Chances are if HOME/.local/bin doesn't contain anything but the gnucash program you are OK, but also check the lib and share directories to see if there are anything other than gnucash related files there. If there are no other applications installed there then it is safe to just delete all the directories under HOME/.local. If not then you could use the install_manifest.txt as a guide and manually delete them one by one to ensure you don't delete anything else you might need.

[GNC] Handling transaction edits after reconciliation
At Geert's request, I am adding my voice to the list of mailing list users who object to changes that automatically mark a transaction unreconciled when certain fields are edited. I regret that I wasn't subscribed to the list about two months ago, so I am unable to reply easily to archived threads. For context, here are some links: Bug I reported when I first recognized the unreconciling behavior in GnuCash 3.4: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797084 Original post in the most relevant gnucash-users discussion: https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2019-January/081797.html Most recent post in that discussion: https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2019-January/081942.html Aside from arguments previously presented in that thread and in my bug report about which fields should become protected during reconciliation, I've been thinking about a new concern. How do I tell the difference between transactions (or maybe "splits" is more accurate, I'm not sure) that have not yet cleared and ones that were edited after a previous reconciliation? Say I make a payment to John on January 10. I reconcile this account on January 15. My February 15 bank statement arrives and I start my reconciliation process. My payment to John is not marked reconciled. Did I reconcile that transaction on January 15 and then edit an unprotected field? Is it a duplicate transaction that should be deleted? Is John holding my check without depositing it? To tell the difference between these states, I think I have to examine previous account statements back to my recorded payment date (to distinguish edited from never deposited) and all transactions back to that date (to rule out a duplicate)! This feels to me like an extremely high price to pay for editing transactions that have already been reconciled. Is there a simpler way to resolve this ambiguity that I'm not seeing? One workflow I have seen proposed is to re-reconcile immediately after editing transactions. The user opens up another window, finds the transaction (probably near the top), clicks the box to reconcile it, and clicks finish. But how is that any different than leaving the transaction reconciled? It takes more clicks (does that count as security?) and requires me to hold information in my brain longer about which transaction(s) I just edited. Another proposal might suggest that I would remember editing the transaction, so this dilemma is theoretical rather than practical. I disagree; if I could remember all of the transaction changes I'd made in the last month, I probably wouldn't be relying on a computer in the first place. A workaround I plan to experiment with is to edit the description manually for transactions with post-reconciliation edits, adding a short word or symbol indicating it can be automatically reconciled next time without matching a bank statement. For example, a payment to "Universal Exports" might become "+Universal Exports" or "M*Universal Exports" (M for "modified"). I will place it at the beginning of the description so it is easier to see when scanning the list of transactions in the reconciliation window.

[GNC] import from csv messing with trailing quotation marks
Hi.
Splitting multi-year book by exporting transactions to CSV and importing
them in a new file, I noticed that trailing quotation marks (") in split
descriptions have been replaced by a backslash.
Am I doing something wrong during the export? I see there is a "quote"
checkbox but there is no help associated so I didn't use it.
If the quotation mark does not appear at the end of the split
description, then all is well.
PBCAK or (possibly known) bug?
Regards,
Andrea.

Re: [GNC] retained earnings in balance sheet: where does it come from?
Yes, sorry. I misunderstood your post. The Balance Sheet Report does show a Retained Earnings line if you do not close books that is calculated as if you had. (which is why you don’t need to use that procedure, GnuCash doesn’t require you to close books as that is a procedure mostly dictated by physical paper constraints) I thought you meant an actual account with that name, hence my previous post. So the Balance Sheet is telling you the result of Income-Expenses for 2016 is 54.10. The fact that this is also the same amount as this particular transaction you entered for 13/01/17 is purely coincidental. (and should be, since it is entered in 2017 and you are running a balance sheet as of 31/12/16, unless you *aren’t* setting that report date properly) Transactions after 31/12/16 (or whatever date you run your balance sheet for) are not part of the report calculation, so they can’t affect it. 2015 might not show that line, but that would mean your expenses match your income exactly for that year, an unlikely but not impossible scenario. First, be certain of your report dates in the General Tab. The ‘Retained Earnings/Loss’ line in the Balance Sheet should be equal to the ’Net Income/Loss’ for the same period on the Income Statement/P (that is what you would zero out to an actual ‘retained earnings’ account which is a child of Equity) Your Net for 2016 should be 54.10. Your Net for 2015 should be zero. (assuming your Balance Sheet Report dates are 31/12/16 and 31/12/15 respectively) > On Mar 10, 2019, at 3:58 AM, Andrea Borgia wrote: > > Il 10/03/19 01:19, Adrien Monteleone ha scritto: > >> Retained Earnings is posted when you perform a close book operation. >> (or manually zero your income/expense accounts to Equity) >> If you didn’t do this for 2015, there would be no entry. >> If you performed the 2016 close book operation in Jan 2017, you’ll >> have a retained earnings entry in that month for the net >> income-expenses for 2016.

(or manually zero your income/expense accounts to Equity) If you didn’t do this for 2015, there would be no entry.

Thanks for the answer, however I think you got it backwards because I didn't explain it properly: what I find interesting is that the report shows a retained earnings value in the first place, whereas the entry itself was made by me and it's a tax(*) recorded on the same day as the bank statement (hence, correctly, in 2017).
