Re: [GNC] gnucash reconcile doesn't respect "Decimal places"
This seems to be similar to the behaviour of displayed prices in the Price Database - dp doesn't line up as it always truncates prices on the right of the decimal point to the last non zero digit regardless of the ?

3.11 or 4.11? 4.11 is the current version. That is odd behavior regardless, I must agree.

Ans: No Q: In your GnuCash Book (bookkeeping file), have you associated files to transactions using relative path File Associations, absolute path File Associations, or Location Associations? Ans: I think the answer here is relative path. What I actually did in GNU was: Edit / preferences / General / Linked Files and with the drop down arrow selected the folder location of my invoices The reason I say "relative path" is because GNU program details on the referenced edit field the comment "Path head for Linked Files Relative Paths" The location I selected is - D:\PDF\GNU Invoices Q: Were all your attached documents within a single directory on your old computer? Do you know the absolute path to that directory?

BUT ... are you sure any automatic "whole dollar" would work properly? The reality is that (rounded A) + (rounded B) does not necessarily = (rounded (A+B)). So whenever I need to report "whole dollar" I have found it necessary to "fudge" one or more entries to make everything that must be equal to be equal. In my case, not only did the report being submitted have to be in balance but had to start with the previous year end figures. If you have to present the report "whole dollar" you might be better off doing that manually during editing of the report, so you don't have something looking like Expenses A, B, and C Expense A 7 Expense B 3 Expense C 2 Total 11 (not 12 as you might expect) Michael D Novack ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Change Linked Document Path
Norbert, John is discussing a technical aspect of a migration of an existing data file, whereas you are asking about a brand new installation not presenting you with apparent next steps. In other words, not the same at all. Your question received two answers: one terse but highly accurate; the second providing clarifying remarks for the first. Have you tried their recommendations yet?

Already answered by both Derek and David yesterday- see the posting from the archive for details - https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2022-August/102652.html Basically this is the default behaviour for a new install.
