[GNC] Automatic population of posting values based on description ACROSS accounts

[Jan via gnucash-user]

Hi everyone:

 

GnuCash "remembers" the description of postings and fills in previous
values, e.g. for account and value. This memory seems to be account
dependent, i.e. postings from one account are not remembered in another. Is
it possible to turn the automatic population of posting values based on
description ACROSS accounts on?

 

Alternatively, is there an easy way to cut a posting out of one account and
put it in another (other than using the Transaction Journal view and
changing the account manually). With Quicken, you could just cut and paste .

 

Thanks for any help, Jan

[GNC] Search Function

[rovero]

Is there a way when using the search function to have the results of dollar
values totaled?  As of now the search will list all the transactions and
their dollar amount but show no totals.

Sure -- do data entry in the General Journal rather than in a particular
account register.

[GNC] keyboard shortcut - how to implement for open/close splits?

[George Riner]

I really wish there was a keyboard shortcut to open/close the Splits on 
the transaction I'm in.


Is there some edit I can make to a file somewhere in gnucash that would 
make this effect?

Hi, George.

Have a look here:

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Keyboard_Shortcuts

I use a Mac, so the file I’ve edited is 
~/Library/Application Settings/Gnucash/acclerator-map;

and the necessary lines are:

(gtk_accel_path "/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/ViewStyleRadioAction/0" 
"1")
(gtk_accel_path "/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/ViewStyleRadioAction/1" 
"2")
(gtk_accel_path "/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/ViewStyleRadioAction/2" 
"3")

which opens the Basic Ledger view with Cmd-1, AutoSplit Ledger with Cmd-2 and 
Transaction Journal with Cmd-3.

I think this should be enough to get you started.

Regards,

Michael

Re: [GNC] keyboard shortcut - how to implement for open/close splits?

[George Riner]

Summarizing the wiki.gnucash.org page:

it lists the following keyboard shortcuts:

Ctrl+Alt+PgUp Ctrl+Alt+PgDown = switch between tabs in the main window
Tab = select placeholder account in the account page
Shift-RightArrow = expand tree view of place holder account in the 
account page
Shift-LeftArrow = collapse tree view of place holder account in the 
account page
Numpad_+ (or Shift-Numpad_+, not clear) = expand one level of 
placeholder account in the account page
Numpad_- (or Shift-Numpad_-, not clear) = collapse one level of 
placeholder account in the account page

[a brief explanation of the GnuCash calculator keys when entering amounts]
[a brief explanation of 'quick-fill' when when entering a description]
[a brief explanation of selecting an account when entering a transaction]
[a description of using the GnuCash menu to view all subaccount transaction]
Numpad_+ = increment date or check number fields (when in the field)
Numpad_- = decrement date or check number fields (when in the field)
Ctrl-Down = raise the accounts menu (dropdown list?) when selecting 
transfer account

Shift-PgDown = jump to the empty transaction at the bottom of the register
[a few keyboard shortcuts in the Reconcile window]

and that' s about it!

and then a brief discussion of GTK bindings showing examples for Cut, 
Copy & Paste, a functionality that is already implemented in GnuCash as 
installed.


I don't know how I'm to use this information to know how to implement a 
keyboard shortcut to 


I'll keep looking around.

Hi, George.

Have a look here:

Keyboard Shortcuts 
wiki.gnucash.org 
favicon.ico 



I use a Mac, so the file I’ve edited is

~/Library/Application Settings/Gnucash/acclerator-map;

and the necessary lines are:


(gtk_accel_path
"/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/ViewStyleRadioAction/0"
"1")
(gtk_accel_path
"/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/ViewStyleRadioAction/1"
"2")
(gtk_accel_path
"/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/ViewStyleRadioAction/2"
"3")

which opens the Basic Ledger view with Cmd-1, AutoSplit Ledger with 
Cmd-2 and Transaction Journal with Cmd-3.


I think this should be enough to get you started.

1. I think those are to change the view of the entire register. If I
understood George's query correctly, the was asking for a key to
effectively press the Split button and show the splits for the current
transaction. In any case, I'd very much like to know how to do that.

2. Where do we find the list of items to go in the first set of double
quotes? Neither  nor
the two files it references have that information.

3. The lines you gave don't seem top do anything in my accelerator file
(which I've attached). Here are details.

I'm in Windows 10, with GC 4.14. I found the accelerator-map file in
%APPDATA%\GnuCash, and, while GC was not running, added your three lines
at the bottom. However, they don't seem to have any effect. I know that
for Windows users  means the Ctrl key, because o is
bound to File Open, and when I try Ctrl+o the File Open dialog does
indeed pop up. But Ctrl+0, Ctrl+1, and Ctrl+2 don't seem to do anything.

Even worse, when GC closes it rewrites the accelerator-map file
_without_ those four lines I added.

Do user-configured accelerator keys just not work in Windows, or am I
doing something wrong?

Re: [GNC] keyboard shortcut - how to implement for open/close splits?

[George Riner]

Looking at C:\Users\George\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash\accelerator-map

I see a line that looks like this:

; (gtk_accel_path 
"/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/SplitTransactionAction" "")


with nothing apparent to me about what keyboard key combination that 
maps to.


and looking around at the other lines in that file with semantic parts like:

    0e94fd0277ba11e8825d43e27232c9d4Action
    FileSaveAction" "s"
    EmployeeNewEmployeeOpenAction
    Register2TestSubAccountAction

etc, etc. I can't make heads or tails of what to add to this file.  
Plus, it appears to me that every line in this file begins with a 
semi-colon, effectively commenting-out the entire file so that it has no 
effect whatsoever.


I'll keep looking

Re: [GNC] keyboard shortcut - how to implement for open/close splits?

[George Riner]

Stan, Thanks for your understanding.

I edited the following line in accelerator-map

; (gtk_accel_path 
"/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/SplitTransactionAction" "")


to read

(gtk_accel_path 
"/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/SplitTransactionAction" 
"s")


and then restarted GnuCash.

outcome: I go to a transaction in the register that has "-- Split 
Transaction --" showing, press s and nothing happens. I also 
notice, as you report, that the accelerator-map file has been re-written 
with my edits removed. Odd, kinda, that a file that you'd think GnuCash 
would *read* to get configurations for things, is instead *written* to 
remove all accelerator-mapping.

it works for me exactly what you have requested.  i used both   s or

can you try savling and closing accelerato map after making the amendment
Start Gnucash and see if it works

accelerator map file is only written during install and not every start of

Well, perhaps, but it _is_ written at every _close_ of GnuCash, as
George Riner and I found, separately, by experiment. And in that
writing, the lines we added to accelerator-map are simply discarded.

I have Windows 10 and GC 4.14.

Re: [GNC] keyboard shortcut - how to implement for open/close splits?

[Murugan Muruganandam]

can you try amending the line instead of adding it to the file and see if it 
works.
i tried adding the line at the bottom, but it was not accepting my command. The 
same when i amend the line in the exisiting file (taking semicolon out) it 
works perfectly

Re: [GNC] Versions after 4.13 freeze in splash screen

[John Ralls]

Yesterday's tracefile showed a successful login to the `gnucash` database, 
today's shows a connection failure. Notice that after the login failure it 
didn't do anything except load the currencies, something that's hardcoded in 
GnuCash. Yesterday's got into a loop trying to run a scrub on budgets; that 
scrub is part of the 4.x->5.x upgrade process.

The "Bad or corrupt database" error can indeed come from a login failure, but 
there are lots of other errors that can produce it and you have to look in the 
tracefile to see which one. Today's tracefile says:

* 06:54:25  INFO  [QofSessionImpl::load_backend]  Selected provider
 GnuCash Libdbi (MYSQL) Backend
* 06:54:25  INFO  [error_handler] DBI error: 1045: Access denie
d for user 'gnucash'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
* 06:54:25  INFO  [error_handler] Note: GbcDbiSqlConnection not
 yet initialized. Skipping further error processing.
* 06:54:25 ERROR  [GncDbiBackend::session_begin()] Unable
 to connect to database 'gnucash'

That confirms that you have an authentication problem. If you're using the same 
userid for both the  InitFin and gnucash databases maybe you just need to grant 
access to that user on the gnucash db.

I'd like to know the circumstances surrounding the trading accounts creating 
transactions with no account. That would be a pretty bad bug.

Regards,
John Ralls

Editing that line, in it's place, as well as removing the semicolon, is exactly 
what I did. And, yes, I saved the file after making the edits.

Re: [GNC] keyboard shortcut - how to implement for open/close splits?

[Murugan Muruganandam]

hi George

In Version 4.14 onwards there was a changein the way accelerator map was 
handled, please see below for more details. so basically it is copying from 
default every time you start.  i suggest you move to the latest version as i 
have tested it in the newer version and it works as expected.
Any reason you are not upgrading to 5.3 version?


Change the handling of accelerator maps. Gtk no longer supports changing these 
from the menus and the save no longer writes out the accelerators that have 
their default values, so to assist users editing them we have generated default 
ones that we include with GnuCash and have disabled saving when quitting 
GnuCash. At startup GnuCash will check for the presence of the file 
accelerator-map in 
GNC_CONFIG_HOME
 and if it's not found will copy in the default one.

Re: [GNC] keyboard shortcut - how to implement for open/close splits?

[jbonnett]

Here are some notes I have on how I achieved this on Windows 10

For Windows users, I found that accelerator-map file in

C:\Users\john\.gnucash\accelerator-map

%APPDATA%\GnuCash\accelerator-map

and a backup at

%APPDATA%\GnuCash.bkp\accelerator-map

I tried editing the first one. These are the lines I changed.

 (gtk_accel_path
"/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/ViewStyleAutoSplitAction"
"2")
 (gtk_accel_path
"/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/ViewStyleBasicAction" "1")
 (gtk_accel_path
"/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/ViewStyleDoubleLineAction"
"4")
 (gtk_accel_path
"/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/ViewStyleJournalAction"
"3")

On restarting GNC, nothing had changed so I tried changing the second one.
That did the trick when I restarted GNC. I think you may need to do both to
have the change propagate over reboots. You will note I also added the
double line toggle too.

Best Regards,
John

Is there some edit I can make to a file somewhere in gnucash that

I have been staying out of this because what is being asked about 
(program a shortcut to thus and so) is more general that the particular 
thus and so.


But George, what EXACTLY do you want (this thus and so) Because IF it is 
"when I select a transaction in a general ledger account I always want 
to see it in "journal mode" (I want to see all the splits) and not have 
to every time hit the "split" button to do that" I don't think you need 
a keyboard shortcut. You need that only if you only want to sometimes 
see it that way. If it is always, you can tell gnucash that's what you want.

Murugan:

Thank you!

I've upgraded to 5.3. I don't think I use most of the features of 
GnuCash, just my personal finances. It works for me and while upgrades 
get released, I'm not in a rush to grab the latest version.



I've edited the accelerator-map file and I now have a shortcut for show 
splits.



Thanks to the group for your help.

[GNC] Inventory

[David G. Pickett via gnucash-user]

Does GNUCash do inventory at least on a small scale?  It seems like a security 
or stock, you could define a price for sales or a recent/current cost for 
supplies, and when you sell or order it might be like a stock sale or order.

If you are handling a handful of items you could make the stock types work 
for you, but it is not a true inventory system.

There usually aren't any ground breaking *new* features added each 
release. The biggest reason to upgrade is bug fixes, the second is 
performance improvements, and every so often, some new ability or really 
nice convenience is added.
