Re: [GNC] Bar chart reports
John, The chart reports include an option on the Display tab, Show table, which will include the data table. Checking that option displays the data upon which the chart is built. Then you can copy and paste those data directly into your spreadsheet.

Has anyone made a bash script to generate a data report, then process it into a chart, and save to a file? When you say "include a data table" I'm lost. It would not be part of a chart, so included in what? Generating a data table, (which to me means name:value pairs from an expense report would be great. I could bar chart it with any tool. I don't need the structure of the account levels in gnucash, just choosing which accounts, (or placeholdler aggregating accounts) to bar-chart, then being able to set the appearance details in an outside program is all I am wanting. ___ 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.

The distros didn't kill off Gtk2, that's still there. They stopped supporting WebKit1Gtk, and WebKit2Gtk supports only Gtk3 so we had to migrate to Gtk3 or get booted from distros.

Re: [GNC] Concern with the lengthy list of "Known Issues"
I think the UI upgrades have been an unfortunate but necessary consequence of many Linux distributions deciding to kill GTK2 and all GTK2- based apps. If jralls or gjanssens haven't spent countless hours upgrading components then GnuCash would have been dropped from all major distributions. Most UI issues *can* be tweaked via CSS -- as everything here is opensource, users are encouraged to dive in and amend to their liking. Finally the list of issues bein long; apart from the GTK3 preferences I believe most of the "new" known issues in 3.x were also present, but undocumented in 2.x.

[GNC] Report - How to track savings?
I'm new to GNC and try to understand how the reports work. Is there a way to set up a report to see how much money I saved into an account? Let’s say I want to track the money which was going from my CHECKING into my SAVINGS account. Is there a way to track this on a monthly basis with some bar charts?

Re: [GNC] Concern with the lengthy list of "Known Issues"
Alan, #1 Is a known issue for Windows. Note that on all platforms, the more tabs, especially reports, you have open when you last closed, the slower the app will be to re-launch. Also, unless you really have a need to close GnuCash, it isn’t strictly necessary. (Mine stays open 24/7 in its own workspace) #2 is from the defaults picked up by the move to the updated graphics libraries. You can adjust the tab sizes and padding with a custom CSS file. Take a look at the GTK pages on the wiki for more info. Unfortunately, not everything is well documented for this. Some people have researched certain parts of the UI on this list, so you might find the tab info there. Otherwise, you’d need to run the GTKINSPECTOR tool, which I don’t think is available for Windows. (Linux and Mac only, as far as I’m aware) I don’t think those defaults are ever going to be changed. Your only option would be a custom CSS file.

Re: [GNC] Concern with the lengthy list of "Known Issues"
Scotts, If you still haven't updated to the latest version, I would recommend delaying further. My upgrade from 2.6.16 to 2.6.21 was without problems, but the "upgrade" from 2.6.21 to 3.5 was more like a downgrade and I'm still regretting it. (Windows 10) The csv importer is better in 3.5 and allows configurations to be saved, but whilst there may well be other enhancements that I haven't discovered yet, there are a number of disappointments that affect my regular use of the software... 1 The program takes a long time to load. 2 Tabs are much bigger. I like to have 16 of my regularly used accounts open at the same time and have their tabs arranged down the right hand side of the screen for quick access. In version 2.6 there was room for about 20 tabs on my laptop screen but with 3.5, there is only room for 12 and scrolling to access the hidden tabs is not easy. Not only are the tabs bigger than they need to be, but there is a 2mm padding between tabs. 3 Scroll bars are very narrow and there are no fine adjustment arrows so I have to rely on dragging the bars or using the scroll wheel (when I have one). I don't know whether these are known issues or deliberate changes as I haven't seen a list but, currently, I wish I had stayed with version 2.6.21 Alan scotts wrote > I have been using Gnucash for about 3 years now, and for the most part > enjoying the experience!
