Re: [GNC] Shared Report Configurations

I store the main data file on encrypted cloud storage so I can open my books on multiple devices, though not at the same time! I don't mind if I have to duplicate the effort of configuring preferences once in each installation, but customized report configs would ideally be available and editable on all devices. > synch my prefs, reports and data files via Dropbox and > FreeFileSync Right. I have used that tool in the past, and I had forgotten about it. If I could redirect configs directly into a Dropbox-replicated directory then that would probably be preferable to installing another tool for the syncing. But, I now have more info and can probably get something going that I'm happy with. Thanks.

Re: [GNC] GTK CSS 4.0-4.1
As far as I can tell, the values of the targeted elements are defined in the Glade files which are part of the source code. I don't think there is a single CSS file with all of the rules in it like a custom file is organized. That is why I asked for a copy of your file, because it will show what you were targeting and then I (or someone else) can test to see which ones aren't working and can use the Inspector to find out why and what needs to change to fix that. If you can't find a way to run the Inspector yourself, and you don't want to provide your previously working CSS file, then your only other option is to download the source code and learn to read that, picking out and discerning how to target your CSS. (hint, that won't be fun) The GTK Inspector was created precisely to make this much easier.

Re: [GNC] Import Transaction Matcher issue in v4
Hello everyone, Just confirming the issue with Citibank QFX files. They are changing the FITID for the same transactions in the QFX downloads. I'll reach out to them, but I'm not optimistic The download on Friday yielded the following for a specific transaction: CREDIT 2020072112 54.00 202007210003 ACH Electronic Credit The Download of the same account today for the same transaction yielded this in the QFX file: CREDIT 2020072112 54.00 202007210004 ACH Electronic Credit On Mon, Jul 27, 2020 at 9:33 PM David Carlson wrote: > Michael, > > Exactly.

Thanks. Now I understand why it used to work. And I certainly wouldn't expect GnuCash to correct a bank's horrible behavior. I'll keep an eye on the FITID and see if that's what they are doing. Thanks everyone for your help. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the links. That first one is the bug report I had in mind. (re-reading it just now reminded me of other issues and difficulties I had forgotten) The second one appears closed, but I'm sure is an interesting read. And yes, I've been following your work a bit on that fancy chart. I can't wait!

Re: [GNC] Export as PDF vs Print to PDF
Long standing problem for Mac for sure and I think Windows as well. A work around if you want to use export (I thought they provided the same result) is to open that export in a web browser and print from there. I've heard of decent mileage from Firefox and Chrome. I don't know about Safari, Edge, etc. Though I think the work around involved the HTML export, not PDF export.

Re: [GNC] GTK CSS 4.0-4.1
Better yet, post *your* file that did work. Then we can see what you are trying to target. The sample CSS file is the same on all Operating Systems as far as I'm aware. What may vary is the version of GTK, which may affect the selectors available to use, or how they work.

[GNC] Export as PDF vs Print to PDF
Was recently doing some reports with v. 3.10 (yes, I know, update?), and found that "Export as PDF" doesn't respect page boundaries. Result is that some lines are broken horizontally at the bottom & top of pages. Doesn't happen, though, if I "Print to PDF" using a suitable (Windows 10) operating system driver to create a PDF from the print image. Is this an oversight? Should "Export to PDF" be more like "Print to PDF?" Thanks. Updating is something I'm holding off about unless there's a real reason to do so, because the Portable Apps version is still stuck in the 3.x range. I found out in the past that when upgrading across a major version the files become incompatible with a lower one. So I have to wait for the Portable Apps version to update before I can do the rest. pEpkey.asc Description: application/pgp-keys ___ 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.
