Re: [GNC] create desktop icons for GNC 4.9 Flatpak on Ubuntu

2022-03-25 Thread davidcousens49
Jeff,

Follow David Whitings suggestion creating multiple desktop entries in the file,
one for each separate datafile you need to open, changing the name in the Name
entry and the filepath in the Exec entry as appropriate.

You can locate/put the desktop file in your home directory at
/home//.local/share/applications/gnucash.desktop.

If you need it available to all users on the system you can similarly modify the
gnucash.desktop file at /usr/local/share /applications/gnucash.desktop to append
the additional entries to the file there but you will need sudo privileges to do
that. (There are a lot of multilanguage entries in the system file so it will be
simpler to create the single user entry in your home directory.

If that doesn't work, report back what happens instead.

Re: [GNC] change default behavior of ctrl-PgDn

2022-03-25 Thread Adrien Monteleone
Actions > Blank Transaction has cmd-pgdn as the key combo. I'd hazard it 
is ctrl-pgdn other than Mac.


I recall now one of your replies in a previous thread or maybe a bug 
about this. And indeed shift-pgdn does bring you to the Blank 
Transaction with focus on the date field. But the one listed as in the 
menu does not.


So maybe the bug is the wrong key-combo is shown in the menu? Except 
choosing the menu option directly drops you to the first Action field 
rather than the Date. So while you end up in the same new blank 
transaction, you end up in a different field.

Adrien

I still think it a bug that the official key combo doesn't work

Note, it isn't just the key combo not working. Using Action > Blank

Re: [GNC] change default behavior of ctrl-PgDn

2022-03-25 Thread Michael Hendry
As an alternative way to enter several transactions earlier than the current 
date and leave the cursor at the bottom, you could try filtering the current 
view of an account in the register so that only the most recent transactions 
are visible. That way, when you complete the historic transaction, it will be 
filtered out and the cursor will stay on a blank transaction at the bottom of 
the screen.

Re: [GNC] gnucash v 2.6.19 or newer on 32bit linux

2022-03-25 Thread David T. via gnucash-user
I think it would be helpful to know a bit more about the versions of Gnucash on 
the two machines. The message he got was that he needed *at least* 2.6.19, not 
that he needed to use it. 

Jonathan, does this imply that your older machine is running Ubuntu 16.04? The 
Gnucash wiki says that 16.04 had 2.6.12, while 18.04 had 2.6.19. The vintage of 
Ubuntu might affect your options here. 

And if your older system has a version greater than 2.6.19 on it, something 
else has gone wrong, and more info would be needed.

Having not investigated a quick way of getting to a new blank transaction 
before, Ive done some experimenting on my iMac (GNC 4.9 + Big Sur).

fn-uptriangle   Top of current register screen
fn-downtriangle Bottom of current register screen
Shift-fn-uptriangle Earliest transaction in register
Shift-fn-downtriangle   Bottom of current register, blank transaction

If I use the extra cluster of nine keys on the wide keyboard:

Shift-uparrow   Earliest transaction in register
Shift-downarrow Bottom of current register, blank transaction

All I have to do now is remember these the next time I need them!

Re: [GNC] create desktop icons for GNC 4.9 Flatpak on Ubuntu

2022-03-25 Thread david whiting
Hi Jeff,

The following works for me, with gnucash installed for a user:

1. Create a desktop file (using a text editor) with the entry shown below
2. On the Exec line, change Documents/test-2.gnucash to the path to
your gnucash file
3. On the Name line, change this to whatever you want to call it, i.e.
what you want to see on the desktop
4. Change the path for the icon to the correct location (perhaps
changing /home/david to /home/jeff)
5. Save the file as whatever-you-want-to-call-it.desktop
6. Go to your desktop
7. Right-click on the file on the desktop and select "Allow launching"
(this step is important)
8. Repeat this process for other files, changing the Exec line and
Name lines accordingly


[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Exec=flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash Documents/test-2.gnucash
Name=GnuCash 4.9 FLATPAK test-2
Comment=Manage home and small business accounts
Icon=/home/david/.local/share/flatpak/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/x86_64/stable/active/files/share/gnucash/pixmaps/gnucash-icon.ico

[GNC] create desktop icons for GNC 4.9 Flatpak on Ubuntu

2022-03-25 Thread Jeff
I have never had a problem creating desktop icons for multiple books for 
GNC on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS prior to installing the FlatPak version for GNC 4.9.


Everything I have tried for the desktop icon has failed miserably on the 
Flatpak version of GNC 4.9.  Is there someone who can guide me on 
creating the desktop icons for this version on Ubuntu version 20.04 
LTS.  I have multiple sets of books to maintain for family members.
