[GNC] Problem getting price quotes after upgrade

2020-03-07 Thread azalea4va
I have been running gnucash on Linux Mint for years.  The guncash I am
running is version 3.7 that I built from source.  I recently upgraded to
Mint 19.3. On the new system I go into the price editor and click on "Get
Quotes", I get "Unable to retrieve quotes for these items:" and then all the
stocks I have configured to get quotes on are listed (eg, VBTLX).

I am currently have two partition running Mint 19.3.  I one, I just upgraded
from 19.1 to 19.3.  In the other I did a fresh install to 19.3.  Gnucash is
in a data partiton used by both versions of linux.  Get quotes runs fine in
the upgraded version but not in the fresh install version.  I even tried
recompiling gnucash on the new install system but that had no affect. I have
not found any logs that give any more information on why the price lookup
failed.

I wonder if in the fresh install I am missing a library (the source code
READMEs are as useful as they could be).  Here is a list of some apropos
installed packages on both systems:

I have tried executing gnc-fq-update and gnc-fq-dump on both system but that
has not provided any insight because it fails on BOTH systems.  But I still
am able to get quotes on the upgraded 19.3 system.

If anyone has any insights, please share.

Naturally, so you do some trial runs.
Plan to import small amounts at first, so that you can train the
importer.
Try variations until you get what you want.

If it doesn't work, some have used old and new programs simultaneously
for a financial year, and then completed the swapover.

[GNC] hiding expense and income accounts with zero balances

2020-03-07 Thread Ian D Henry
I am very new to Gnucash and I have not been able to find answers to
questions which I think possible ought to have easy answers.

1 Is there a way to suppress display of accounts with a zero balance in the
Balance Sheet and Income Statement?
2  How do I display either statement with a specific end date?  For
example, today is 7March and I want to provide reports as at 29February.
The standard Income statement shows that it covers 1Jan20 to 30Jun20 and
the Balance Sheet is at 30Jun20.  The accounting year is 1Jul19 to 30Jun20.
3 Has anyone produced an multi column Income report that lists the income
and expense by month?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Ian

[GNC] Restoring "Unable to save to database" error?

2020-03-07 Thread Eric H. Bowen via gnucash-user
I've been getting the "Unable to save to database" error whenever I 
import and/or save transactions in one of my asset accounts. I haven't 
lost any transactions, but it appears that the database which 
automatically matches imported transactions (or attempts to) is 
corrupted. I'd be perfectly happy to drop the old database and begin 
again with a new one, as long as I can keep my previously saved 
transactions, but I haven't yet found a (newbie friendly) way to do 
this. Any assistance?Eric.

Change the report options in the general tab to specify the date(s) you
want.  Balance sheet will only have ending date.  Income statement will
have both beginning and ending dates.

The standard Income statement shows that it covers 1Jan20 to 30Jun20 and
the Balance Sheet is at 30Jun20.  The accounting year is 1Jul19 to 30Jun20.


These two questions indicate a fundamental "new user" problem. A problem 
that goes deeper than just these two questions.


For each gnucash report that you want to use, you should explore ALL of 
the report options available to you. It is not just that under options 
you will see THESE things that you want to change, but all sorts of 
other things you can specify.


But there is some preliminary stuff you should know about the process. 
When you tell gnucash to produce the report, it will do so with default 
options. You then use Edit => Report Options to change the options that 
you want for this running of the report. In other words, the report has 
to exist before you choose options for it. A moment's thought should 
explain why you don't pick options and then open the report << how would 
gnucash know WHICH report you meant those options to apply to >>

I just happened to be wondering the same thing so here's what I did in
detail

1) Go to the Accounts page and select the top-level item you want to report
under. In this case:
Expenses

2) Edit--> Open SubAccounts [OR right-click --> Open SubAccounts]

3) A new register will open; GnuCash may warn you that it's read-only. In
this case the tab says "Expenses+" to indicate it includes SubAccounts.

4) I wanted to see JUST last month's expenses so I chose
View --> Filter By...
o Select Range
  2/1/2020
  2/29/2020

5) Now that you have the transactions filtered, open the Account report:
Reports --> Account Report

6) Play with the report settings till the report shows the detail you need.
(If you need to tinker further, you can copy the report contents and paste
into a spreadsheet.)

It is in the 3.8 experimental menu.

Michael,

This has always seemed a bit arse about face to me.  In my simple world the
report does exist as it's there in the menu items and I can select it and
run it.  It's the report results that may or may not exist yet.  It would
make a whole lot more sense for me personally to click on a report menu
item, have the options displayed at that point in time and for me to verify
the options and click OK to run the report at that point in time.  It also
means that I wouldn't have to wait for the report to finish it's initial
run and then change the options to what I actually need :-) Newbies would
also benefit by actually seeing upfront what options are available.  As you
can probably tell I don't run a lot of reports - I just use Gnucash for my
personal accounts and to track income/spending from a rental property.

Cheers David H.

Re: [GNC] hiding expense and income accounts with zero balances

2020-03-07 Thread Adrien Monteleone
There are also reports that appear to display an error because some options 
like account selection are required before any results can be shown. While the 
‘work around’ was to tell the user they needed to set options, it may not be 
clear to the newbie what they need to do. But rather than have some reports 
work one way than others, I like your idea of throwing up the options screen 
first once a report *type* has been selected. Advanced and/or seasoned users 
will more than likely be using saved report configs anyway, but will also know 
to just hit ‘ok’ if they know they want the defaults. It is rare I ever wants 
defaults now though, and I don’t always want one of my saved configs. Having to 
run the report, then open the options is just more clicks than necessary. It 
doesn’t save me any time or clicks, and it doesn’t help newbies either.

I’m not saying it has to be changed, but I’m liking the idea for now.

Re: [GNC] hiding expense and income accounts with zero balances

2020-03-07 Thread David H
I think from memory there are also some users that leave report tabs open
semi-permanently so that when they re-open Gnucash the report results are
refreshed automatically.  I guess I'm thinking that the options panel would
only be displayed when the report tab is first opened so that it doesn't
screw things up for users that leave reports open between Gnucash startups.
Perhaps even an option in the Reports preferences that defaults to "Show
report options when first run" or similar or "Always show report options
when run" that is defaulted to true for new gnucash installs :-)

Cheers David H.

Thinking back to when I was a new, it wasn't obvious that the Options
menu entry was there on the report.  The report ran and either was what
I wanted or wasn't with little clue how to change it.

If the options pop up first thing, then it would be obvious that there
is a whole lot that could be configured on each report.  Someday I may
get around to entering that as an enhancement.

I’m one of those that leaves a few basic reports open at all times. (a YTD P&L

An option would be nice, but just switching the order would work well.

[GNC] automation idea

2020-03-07 Thread Matthew E. Kokidko
emailing as recommended on: 
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Budget_Requirements.



Auto populate or initiate a new budget based on current balances and 
scheduled transactions. Prior transaction analysis doesn't work for new 
users (without lots of imports from their bank and reconciling, maybe). 
I set up all of my scheduled transactions first to ensure I could keep 
up with tracking my cash flow this time. Now I want a budget and I have 
to, essentially, re-enter all scheduled transactions, but on the budget. 
This is, of course, a minor issue but I think it would be something used 
quite frequently and keep more people on gnuCash past the initial setup.



Thank you,


Matt Kokidko.

Look in the "Users/AppData/Roaming/GnuCash" folder for a file named
"gtk-3.0.css".  Edit the file and change the font to something you like.  I
changed mine to "font: 15px consolas, sans-serif;" and save the new version
in the same folder.  Reopen GnuCash and you should be good to go.

Re: [GNC] Help Find Feature

2020-03-07 Thread Gio Bacareza
Thanks Maf, I tried that but it doesn't let me do what I ultimately want to
do. The goal is to be able to delete all transactions to expense account
and all it's children.

So example consider accountA. In it you would have transactions to/from:
AccountB
AccountC
Expense:E
Expense:F

I want to be able to search so it will list Expense:E and F but NOT
Accounts B and C.  Then I can delete these expenses.

Doing it with the report requires me to do 2 steps: 1 click the link, then
2 delete. Then I have to go back to the report and do it again. If I'm
deleting many transactions, it will take so much time. So I'm looking for a
better way.

In my youth (with Gnucash) the options menu was reached with a right
click on the report.
It too me ages to find the spanner on the toolbar when that right click
was superseded.

So as Gnucash continues and grows, we look at different ways of doing
things. We can improve as we go.

When you run from a register page Find searches only that account and Account 
in find matches the current account rather than the transfer account. If I 
understand what you're trying to do, use  All Accounts - matches all accounts - 
xxx where xxx means to select the accounts you want to search for in the 
selector dialog box.

Re: [GNC] Help Find Feature

2020-03-07 Thread Adrien Monteleone
First, I would ask, “Why do you want to delete these transactions?” and second, 
“Do you want to delete some or *all* of the transactions in that expense 
account?"

You don’t need to ‘find’ transactions from an expense account to delete them.

Just open the expense account if you want to delete certain ones, which you can 
narrow with a Find operation there if you like.

Or if you want to delete all transactions in an expense account, just delete 
the account.

GnuCash will ask you upon account deletion if you want to move the transactions 
as re-assigned to a different account (good for refactoring your tree) or if 
you want to delete the transactions entirely. Choose accordingly.

But I’d still be interested in the original “why?” because you *may* be 
thinking deletion is an answer to a problem that might have a better solution.

Adrien

In GnuCash you cannot delete split lines without throwing the transaction
out of balance.  Hence, you need to replace the undesired account with a
different account.  If you want to delete every instance of an expense A
and replace it with expense B you can do that in the account tree by
relocating expense A under expense B then deleting expense A.

If you want to only select a few instances of A and replace them with B,
that probably means examining one transaction at a time and changing  A to
B individually. If you use the technique described by Tommy Trussell you
can generate a "short list"  of transactions that meet your criteria for
finding the desired transactions, but you would still need to edit those
transactions one at a time.

Re: [GNC] Report Options was hiding expense and income accounts with zero balances

2020-03-07 Thread Adrien Monteleone
Curious...

Where are you right-clicking to get Options?

I tried on the tab - that just gives me a list of all tabs.

I tried on the menu entry, that runs the report sans options, same as 
left-click.

I tried on a blank part of an existing report and got a menu with, “back, 
forward, stop, reload” but no ‘options’.

What did I miss?

The only two methods I know of to get to report options are via the Edit menu 
or the toolbar button, neither of which are obvious save the Edit menu is more 
so, because it is labeled “Report Options” while the toolbar button just says 
‘Options’. (but why a user would ‘intuitively’ think to look in the Edit menu 
is still a mystery to me)

Regards,
Adrien

Liz did say "in my youth" i.e. going back a few years :-)

Not any more
I started about Gnucash 1.6, and it went away, to be replaced by the
current scheme.
Sometimes the history helps us understand how the next choice was made.

Hi David,

as usual your comment is very motivational. ;-)

I can not find any other place, where XSLT is treated, but it is used
e.g. in
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Account_Hierarchy_Template#Extensible_Stylesheet_Language_Transformations

BTW in between the page is online.
