Re: [GNC] Start up after shut down

2019-04-14 Thread David Cousens
Richard

Assuming you are using the XML format files the following link explains the
backup and log files ( and Lock file) that may be created in your directory.
It is usually a good practice to create the GnuCash file in its own
directory so that these files do not get mixed up with other files on your
system.

https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/basics-backup1.html.

As you can see any file with a date-timestamp attached to the file extension
is either a backup or a log file. These can be used to recover your main
file if the main file is ever corrupted. You should not open any of these
fines normally as you will lose any transactions entered since the backup
file you opened was created. A common problem people have is accidentally
opening a backup file instead of the main file. In this case you will see
backup files with two sets of dataestamps in the file extensions.  

The file you should open on a daily basis will be called .gnucash
where  is the name you gave it when you created the file, without
any date stamps and is the file that GnuCash will open by default if it is
the last file used. If GnuCash doesn't open with the file you want to use
(the filename without the path appears in the title bar of the main window
when it opens. If this is not correct use the File->Open dialog to navigate
to the correct file. You can drag the dialog boundaries to expand it and
then drag the bar that appears in the column headers to expand the filename
colum width so you can see the file extensions clearly.  At this point, for
safety, you should make a separate backup copy of the folder containg the
gnucash data files that you can restore and start from scratch if you have
any problems with the following instructions.

If you have opened a backup file at some point and you are able to determine
the last file opened (In your file manager set it up to see the Date
Accessed information. This should allow you to find the most recently opened
file.) If your .gnucash file has the Date Accessed information as
the timestamp in the most recent backup file then it is more than likely the
last file you opened in GnuCash and you should be able to use it.  

If it was a backup file that is the most recently opened file, then you will
need to open it and check that it has any recently loaded transactions in
it.  If so, you can rename it as .gnucash (you will  need to
rename the original file to .gnucash.old before doing this. Once
you are satisfied that the renamed  is correct and has all
your data in it, I would move all the existing backup and log files to
another directory apart from your main .gnucash. When you are
happy that GnuCash is functioning correctly you will de able to delete this
directory but you should retain it until you are really sure you have fixed
any problems.

Re: [GNC] Start up after shut down

2019-04-14 Thread David Carlson
Richard,

You do not mention which OS your computer is using,  I do not use a Mac so
I cannot comment on what works well there.

In Windows or Linux GnuCash automatically opens the last used file when it
is started unless there is some issue such as not being available at the
time the program is started.

The next thing to try is to Click on File in the GnuCash title bar and
select the filename next to number 1 in the drop down list.

I still haven't mentioned using your file manager to select your data file,
which is the method many users prefer.  That usually works best if it is
set to sort with the newest file at the top.

If none of those methods work, you probably have a rather unusual setup and
need to write down the details that need to be performed before starting
GnuCash.

Re: [GNC] Start up after shut down

2019-04-14 Thread David T. via gnucash-user
Since what Stephen says is the default behavior for Gnucash, you will need to 
figure out what you are doing that is giving you this exceptional behavior. 

What specific steps are you taking in the save process? What messages does 
Gnucash report, if any? What specifically happens on startup? Do you get any 
messages in startup?

What operating system and gnucash version are you using? Are you doing anything 
"interesting" in your system (like using a special network platform, or a 
proxy, or trying to run gnucash through a VPN, or using a path that includes 
random exotic characters, or some other bit that might be germane to the 
problem)?

As I said, gnucash opens the last file you had open (sometimes to the confusion 
and consternation of users-- especially on the Mac), so your experience is not 
the norm. 
David

[GNC] File operations open non-existant drive

2019-04-14 Thread wendiallen via gnucash-user
Win10Pro64; GnuCash 3.5.  When I request any file operations, or click on
"preferences", GnuCash attempts to read a non-existent drive K.  It's
actually assigned to my usb card reader, as are drives J, I, & H.  Hence, I
get an error box asking me to insert a disk.  I click "try again", and it
moves down to drive J, then I, then H.  Then it cycles through the four
drives again, after which it finally opens an explorer window for my hard
drive.  Now I can select a file, or, more importantly, alter my preferences. 
Any way around this?  Thanks.

there are neat tricks documented all over the place.

https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-help/trans-edit.html

OK,  that link doesn't explicitly say "click in the number cell and press the
- key"  but one has to assume a certain level of computer savvy from a user
who has written a bespoke database system and is thinking of using a
spreadsheet rather than GC.

So GC permits you to click in a cell to edit it.  just like pretty much any
other box-based data entry program.

You've been told that you recorded a transfer of $15 between 2 accounts when
it should have been a transfer the  opposite way (ie -15)

If you are in basic ledger view, as Adrian had earlier suggested you try, what
is such a radical trick about clicking in the number field and pressing - to
swap the direction of the money flow?  ( Granted, If you are still  in GL view,
you have to "click & press" twice (once for each split) - though when every
purchase transaction is to the same expense account, GL or even auto-split
view seems overkill anyway, IMHO).

I think this level of editing a transaction is covered in the docs, assuming
you've entered a few transactions and somewhat got the hang of clicking around
in a new program's interface first.

Hi Maf,

Cool. Thank you!

I am finding that I like the View --> AutoSplit Ledger the best.

Just out of curiosity, did your have Bookkeeping / accounting
experience before starting with GnuCash?

The font is the right thing to change, but it looks like the piechart report 
isn't affected by the stylesheet font styles.

Chris Lam has been looking at styling the last few days, perhaps he has some 
insight.

[GNC] How to print account names for Grand total in reports

2019-04-14 Thread cerr
Hi,

I'm interested in breaking the totals up by account and showing the account
names especially for the Grand Total (for tax purposes)
Currently, the transaction record displays the Grand Total on the bottom as
follows: 

Grand Total   500  GOOG
  -333 APPL
  -150 SPY
   $12345.67
   100 QQQ
  $987654.32

The stocks I can account for by the symbol name but I'm not sure what the
amounts belong to.
How do I display the account names and the totals from each account with
transactions during the period?
Thanks,
Ron

Greatly appreciated, thanks!

I just noticed something.

Do you have more than one monitor? If so, is GnuCash on the main one or (one of) the secondary one(s)? The surest way to tell 
which is "main" is to open System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver (shortcut: control-click on the desktop and 
select "Change Desktop Background"). Each monitor will get a dialog, and on all the secondary monitors the dialog will 
say "Secondary Desktop" in the title bar and will lack the close/hide/fullscreen stoplight in the upper left corner; the 
one on the main display will be a normal system preferences dialog with "Desktop & Screen Saver" in the title bar.

If it's all yes so far, try moving GnuCash to the main display and then opening 
the Find dialog (cmd-F or Edit>Find). Do the dropdowns work now?

Regards,
John Ralls



Yes, dual-monitor setup here.

Main window on secondary monitor

* Find Transaction window ("FTW") appears on secondary monitor
* Pull-downs do not function
* FTW can be dragged to primary monitor; touching pull-down area causes 
"jump" of FTW to secondary monitor



Drag main window to primary monitor

* FTW follows
* FTW drop-downs function
* FTW can be dragged to secondary monitor; touching pull-down area 
causes "jump" of FTW to primary monitor




Also, GnuCash doesn't do well with the monitors going to sleep, usually 
(always?) crashing on wake.

there are neat tricks documented all over the place.

https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-help/trans-edit.html

OK,  that link doesn't explicitly say "click in the number cell and press the 
- key"  but one has to assume a certain level of computer savvy from a user 
who has written a bespoke database system and is thinking of using a 
spreadsheet rather than GC.

So GC permits you to click in a cell to edit it.  just like pretty much any 
other box-based data entry program.

You've been told that you recorded a transfer of $15 between 2 accounts when 
it should have been a transfer the  opposite way (ie -15)

If you are in basic ledger view, as Adrian had earlier suggested you try, what 
is such a radical trick about clicking in the number field and pressing - to 
swap the direction of the money flow?  ( Granted, If you are still  in GL view, 
you have to "click & press" twice (once for each split) - though when every 
purchase transaction is to the same expense account, GL or even auto-split 
view seems overkill anyway, IMHO). 

I think this level of editing a transaction is covered in the docs, assuming 
you've entered a few transactions and somewhat got the hang of clicking around 
in a new program's interface first.

Re: [GNC] Unable to import QIF or QFX.

2019-04-14 Thread David Cousens
Evan,

You should in principle be able to use either format, QFX or QIF (but
obviously not with each other).  QFX should be a bit easier to follow if you
have to check the file content out as it is tagged and the QIF format is a
bit more obscure but QIF seems to be used by people migrating from Quicken. 

I have just run an import of a test QIF file I used while updating the
documentation into 3.5 on Linux without any problems but it is a fairly
simple minimal file. 

If you have not found it yet, the following wiki page:
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Quicken_Migration should be helpful
particularly for strategies for minimising problems.   Particularly useful
should be the comments about relating categories to GnuCash accounts and
presetting up the account structure to match the categories used in Quicken.
The date format is a common problem with importing. Check the file content
for the date format used and choose appropriately in the import wizard. You
may need to describe in more detail exactly at which steps in the import
wizard the process is failing and which steps complete successfully. There
is an initial file loading into the importer followed by processes to match
categories in the data to the GnuCash account structure and finally the
loading of the data into Gnucash. If you can specify which of the steps in
the LH panel of the import wizard are completeing successfully, it will help
with locating where the problem is occurring.

You can also start GnuCash in debugging mode with --debug and /or  --extra
switches at a command line which will increase the logged information. Don't
change the logging configuration log.conf at this stage unless one of the
main developers (John Ralls /Geert Janssens or Derek) asks you too. 

See https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Logging,
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile for locating errors.  

If the QIF file does not load and you don't get to the following steps in
the QIF Import wizard, it is likely to be a problem with the file format.
otherwise it will be the matching of the Quicken structure to the structure
in GnuCash.

No, you stumbled onto the correct way to do it... as described in the docs.

Maf.


The docs described the mouse and minus sign?  Can you give me a
link.  There must be a bunch of neat tips there!

:-)

I understand you don’t care for the official documentation, but how much 
frustration have you endured by not reading it and just trying to plow through? 
How many times have you asked for help or for understanding that would have 
been avoided by reading the manual?

Help Manual (https://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?rev=3&lang=C&doc=help, or 
p.56 in the PDF)
Chapter 6. Common Transaction Operations
6.2. Enter Transaction via register

"Note
When working on transactions in GnuCash, be aware that the Enter key and the 
Tab key behave differently, and perform different actions.

The Enter key moves to the first field of the next split, regardless of which 
field you are in. If there is no next split, proceeds to the next transaction. 
In any case, Enter finishes the transaction edit, and any imbalance is posted 
to Imbalance-CUR, where CUR is the currency of the transaction.

The Tab key moves to the next field in the current split. If it's the last field, 
moves to the next split, creating a new one if there isn't one. If the split is 
blank, the Tab key finishes the transaction and posts any imbalance to 
Imbalance-CUR, as above."

The rest of the section proceeds to explain, step by step, field by field, what 
to enter and how to do it unambiguously.

Regards,
Adrien

That explains a lot. I had been pressing Enter on every block.


Hi Adrian,

I found a slick way of switching every thing around.

I set view to Auto Split Ledge, then I mouse clicked in the cell I 
wanted to change and added a minus sign to each, then moved on to the 
next line.  One hand on the mouse and one hand on the minus sign.

Worked beautifully!

After I was all done, I noticed the "Imbalanced USD" was still zero.
Boy did I not understand about tabs and mouse clicks.  Thank you!

You know GnuCash is way more complicated than I wanted, but with your
help, I seemed to hae been able to dumb it down to the point where I
can actually use it.  I think it may actually work out.  Thank you!
