Re: [GNC] Post Invoice offers only the wrong currency's A/Receivable account?
The invoice currency is obtained from the customer currency when the invoice customer is selected. If that changed after the invoice was created then the invoice didn't get updated. In that case you need to Edit Invoice and reselect the customer. -derek Sent using my mobile device. Please excuse any typos.

Re: [GNC] Problem with saving to NAS Drive
John, The following link has some info around how to mount NFS shares on Windows 10 https://graspingtech.com/mount-nfs-share-windows-10/ (being Windows this is not available on all WIndows 10 systems, specifically the Home version which doesn't have the NFS client software installed - it may be possible to install this, I haven't tried) but your NAS should also be able to produce samba shares so https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-connect-to-linux-samba-shares-from-windows-10/ and this works no problem on the Windows 10 Home version on my wife's TabPro S.

Re: [GNC] Problem with saving to NAS Drive
John, There is certainly no problem accessing an NAS drive from Linux systems (Mint19.1 in my case). I have been doing it since my NAS was put on the system 4 years agoand through all the GnuCash versions but it does require a little bit of admin work to setup. The NAS has to be setup to export shares in the right format for your OS NFS4 in my case and with the right permissions. I use autofs to automount my devices on my Linux system the setup is not too complicated. A file /etc/auto.WNAS defines the shares to be mounted by autofs: (192.168.0.2 is the url for my NAS) # #NFS shares # NAS_backups 192.168.0.2:/data/Backups NAS_music 192.168.0.2:/data/Music NAS_videos192.168.0.2:/data/Videos NAS_pictures 192.168.0.2:/data/Pictures NAS_documents 192.168.0.2:/data/Documents NAS_development 192.168.0.2:/data/Development /etc/auto.master has entries to define the mount point as follows. # /home/david/ArtelierW/NAS /etc/auto.WNAS --ghost,-fstype=nfs4,rw,intr,uid=1000,gid=100 I use a directory under my home directory as the mount point which means I can always access it from the file manager on the system and it is also accessible from within Gnucash. Autofs has to be installed of course. At bootup autofs will try to mount the NAS if it is switched on. (I normally have it switched off except for specific times for automatic backups as a security measure. In that case, autofs will mount the NAS shares whenever I try to access them from the mount point in my home directory if it wasn't mounted at bootup. It takes a second or two and the shared directory structure is accessibe. Caution for backups: exclude the mountpoint from a backup or you end up backing the backup up to itself a very circular argument. I haven't set this up on my wife's Windows 10 box (its backed up to the Linux system which is in turn backed up to the NAS) but I would be surprised if it is not possible, although probably much harder and more obscure to do. I'll give it a go when I can tear the Windows box away from my wife.

[GNC] Selling specified lots of stock/mutual funds
I have been struggling to migrate from my ancient (2000) edition of Quicken to Gnucash. The learning curve, for me, has been discouragingly steep. I think I've got a grasp on the cash accounts -- bank accounts, credit cards. But investments, such as a brokerage account, are more challenging. My current stumbling block is selling specified shares of a mutual fund or stock. To sell shares in Quicken -- even my dusty old version -- the program asks me to choose between average cost basis and lot identification. When I click the "select lots" button, a pop-up box lists all open lots of the security with date and price. I can manually choose which lots (or parts thereof) to sell in this transaction. Or just press a button to automatically select oldest or newest shares, or the ones that will give me minimum or maximum gain. (There is a Help button, but the screen is really self-explanatory.) By contrast, I see no parallel function in Gnucash. I can "View Lots" from the Actions menu, and I can manually aggregate one or more purchases into a named lot. But then what? And the pop-up lots window does not provide crucial per-share cost data that I could potentially sort on to minimize taxable gain. The scrub function, if I read the documentation correction, automates the process only for FIFO accounting. I don't see a way to manually identify the shares I want to sell and have Gnucash calculate the gain or loss, and then mark those lots as no longer available for sale. Neither Section 9.7 of the Gnucash docs, or the wiki nor a search of the mailing list archives seem to have answered my question: Am I missing something? I'm not an active trader, and I may need this function only a couple of times a year, but it would be very disappointing if I have to do something like this manually. (The examples of lots seem to involve a maximum of four transactions, but in an account with years of dollar-cost-averaging purchases and reinvested dividends, over a decade or two the number of transactions can climb into triple digits.) I'm using 3.4 on Windows 10.

As John has said, *free* Open Source projects are always going to use *free* Open Source GUI toolkits that support cross-platform projects. It turns out, just about all *free* Open Source GUI toolkits have their roots in Unix/Linux/X11. Writing a GUI-based project is hard enough, it is harder to write multiple versions of such a project (to run on different platforms, using different GUI toolkits). The only people who can "afford" to do that are Microsoft, Adobe, and Intuit and the various game software houses. And that is *all* paid software. The only way a *free* Open Source project is going to have *any* chance of surviving on *volunteer* labor for any platform *outside* of Linux, is if it uses a *free* Open Source *cross-platform* GUI toolkit. This pretty much means one of the X11/Linux based toolkits, that supports cross-platform projects. Note: there is no reason for *any* of the X11/Linux based toolkits to be cross-platform in the first place, unless the authors / maintainers of those toolkits put in the effort to make them work under a non-X11/Linux system, which is actually the *hardest* part of writing and maintaining those toolkits. Note: even *Java* applications don't use the native GUI toolkits under MS-Windows and MacOSX. And Java is the ultimate in "cross-platform". And it too has its roots in Unix/X11 (after all, Sun Microsystems was building *Unix* based hardware). If there is any "tyranny" going on, the people you *really* should be ranting at are Apple and Microsoft -- they are the ones who created the *propriatory* GUI subsystems using *closed source* toolkits. Almost all programs using the *native* GUI (for either MS-Windows or MacOSX) are going be either single-platform programs or *paid* software (commercial or "shareware"). And the "market" for non-Linux FOSS software is really very small, even though the number of non-Linux users is larger than the number of Linux users. Most of the non-Linux computer users are more likely to *buy* software (and generally pay far too much for it). > > I would also say that download counts of a given OS build is not any > indication of users willing to use the program. > > > > -- > Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html > ___ > 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. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software-- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services hel...@deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services ___ 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] Importing investment info from Financial Planner's website
Joseph, Look on your financial planners website for a link to export your data. Most investment firms have some such option, often near another option to download a PDF of your monthly statement. Since you say you used to do it with Quicken, they may have an option to download qfx or ofx format. Else there may be a options for other formats such as qif or csv. Any of those options will work with GnuCash, tho, as David T points out, it my be an arduous process.

Re: [GNC] Xcode project/buildable non X11 Mac version?
You shouldn't be surprised. It's a lot of work to build a separate GUI for each platform and very few FLOSS projects have the resources for that. GnuCash's GUI is built with the Gtk framework and yes, its X11 heritage shows through quite strongly. If that's a deal breaker for you, too bad. There's no "tyranny of vocal minorities" in open source. There's a tyranny of the tiny minority of dedicated volunteers who put millions of hours of work every year into open source programs and give them away. You can accept the gift or not, your choice. And roger, we don't think that every download turns into a user.

One of the core developers sketched out a QT one, covering only the basics, as an experiment a few years ago. The code is still present and I think working in the 2.6 series. You can use CMake to generate an Xcode project if you're averse to compiling on the command line. See https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Cutecash. Mind, it will look different from the Gtk UI that the distributed GnuCash uses, but it still won't look native.

Where did you download your GnuCash version from ? The one you find on the gnucash webpage is using a Quarz backend on MacOS, not X11.

It does not write any log file since the Visual C++ runtime pops with
that error.
I don't know if this helps, but I tried to run guile.exe from the
command line and this happened:

Re: [GNC] Cannot run v3 on Windows 7 since a year
Unfortunately I can't interpret the Sysinternals stuff either.
Will gnucash 3.x start for a different user on your system ? That is, can you
log in as a user that never has used gnucash before and then try to start
gnucash ?
If it does, it may be tripping over some metadata on your PC or the metadata
migration, can you test the following:
- locate the .gnucash directory in your user's home directory
This is typically c:\Users\\.gnucash
- rename this directory to something else, like .gnucash.bkp
- locate the %appdata%\GnuCash directory and rename it as well to something
like GnuCash.bkp
- then install gnucash 3.5 and see if it starts.
Let us know if gnucash starts under these conditions.
Note this is not intended to be your final setup! It will be missing your
saved reports, any open reports and tabs and other settings.
It's a first start in trying to narrow down where it goes wrong.
Potentially a gdb backtrace could also shed a bit more light. As you had
Cygwin installed before, you may reinstall it and then use it to install gdb.
Next run gnucash from within gdb.

Re: [GNC] Problem with saving to NAS Drive
John, Nothing has changed on the gnucash side in this respect between version 3.3 or 3.5 that I'm aware of. You didn't state what OS you are on. Is that on Windows as well ?

Re: [GNC] Importing investment info from Financial Planner's website
Thanks David T. Just to clarify I am only interested in being able to import MY investment holdings from my financial planner's website via my login/password for that website. I have recently left Quicken software where I had that ability to import my investment info, and thought it might exist in GNUCASH also. There is so much similarity between the two applications that has amazed me and thus caused me to seek this functionality out if it existed. I appreciate your prompt response nonetheless.

Re: [GNC] Fwd: Impossible to generate reports.
