Re: [GNC] Definition of document root

[Glenn Fowler]

Hi,

I am in the same scenario in which I have multiple books with linked
documents.

Until your feature request is implemented, what I do is use Linked Location
instead of Linked File and put the filepath there. For Windows that needs
to be: file://C:\Path\MyDocument.pdf

Re: [GNC] Definition of document root

[Adrien Monteleone]

As Jim mentioned—good suggestion.

I too think it would be more flexible as a book-preference.

This does sound familiar, so it may be an existing bug/rfe, or maybe it 
simply has been brought up on the list before.

Adrien

Does this make sense?  Am I missing the fact that this can already be done?  
Would it be hard to implement this?


That certainly makes sense to me. I have my documents root path set to 
be a sibling directory of my book file.  I only keep one book file, but 
if I kept multiple, I would certainly want a separate document directory 
for each.


Have you looked through the bugs database[1][2] to see if there is 
already an enhancement request for this behaviour?

[GNC] Definition of document root

[Brook Milligan]

The root path to the set of documents that can be linked to Gnucash 
transactions can be set via the “settings” menu.  However, this seems to be a 
global value; i.e., it applies to all book files.  That is fine if there is a 
single location in the file system for documents for all books, but it seems 
much more logical to store books and documents together in their own 
directories.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Does it work correctly if you request individual quotes from gnucash-cli, for 
example 
bin/gnucash-cli -Q dump tesouro_direto "Tesouro Prefixado 2026"

[GNC] gnucash-cli doesn't retrieve quotes from "unknown" sources

[Gustavo R. Montesino]

Hello,

I'm running gnucash 5.4 from Debian testing/sid repo and getting
updated commodity quotes through "gnucash-cli --quotes get".

Recently I've noticed that gnucash-cli isn't getting quotes from
"unkonwn" Finance::Quote sources; the same commodities get updated
quotes correctly if run from the Price dialog.

Running gnucash-cli with "--debug", the affected commodities doesn't
show up on the "Query JSON" posted on the console; running the gui
with debug they show correctly on gnucash.trace, eg:

8:23:47  INFO  [GncQuotesImpl::query_fq] Query JSON: {
"defaultcurrency": "BRL",
(...)
"tesouro_direto": {
"Tesouro Prefixado 2026": "",
"Tesouro Selic 2027": "",
(...)

Could someone please help me with this?

Thanks and regards,

Gustavo R. Montesino

If you click on the down arrow in the header line of the accounts tab far
right you can select lots of dates, see below - try "Present"

[GNC] How to change date of balance on register?

[Alan Johnson via gnucash-user]

Hello,

I'm running GnuCash 5.4.1 flathub.  

Is there a way to change the date of balance shown in the account
overview?

For example, I have a checking account with 10,000 in it today.  I have
a couple transactions that are future dated which decrease the balance.
 On the Accounts page, it shows the lower balance of the future amount.
Is there a way to change which date is the reference date for
displaying the balance?

Thanks,
Alan

[GNC] Savings Percentage in Income/Expense Report

[abhi via gnucash-user]

Hi,

This is a small enhancement request for the Income/Expense Report.
Is it possible to show the Net Profit as a percentage of Income in the graph?
It helps me in knowing the savings rate per month or per year.
I currently do this by copy pasting the report table to spreadsheet and 
calculating it manually. Would be a nice improvement if the graph and the table 
within Gnucash could show this.

Has anyone already implemented this in their custom reports?
Thank you for your replies :)

Thanks,
Abhi

And they don't do much, frankly. I tried an Android version, and it was 
not helpful.


If dealing with more than a few items a day, you're better off using a 
spreadsheet and uploading a csv or converting it to a QIF or similar. 
Otherwise, it's actually quicker and easier to manually enter the items 
directly.


Cheers

Re: [GNC] overdue column in customer/vendor overview

[Adrien Monteleone]

Try the Receivables Aging Report.

You can keep that tab open at all times and just refresh it occasionally.

If you want to see individual invoice and payment info for a customer 
from there, click the total owed for that customer and a Customer Report 
will show up. Depending on the detail level you choose, you can see 
which payments were applied to which invoices, and can drill down to the 
invoices themselves from there if need be.


Also consider creating a multi-column report with this as one of the 
displayed reports. See the 'Dashboard' example.


I have one set up with both AR & AP always visible on the same tab. 
(among other reports)


I personally don't find the Overview very useful in its current state. 
It is essentially just a list. (you can't even export it or copy & paste 
it anywhere)


Regards,
Adrien

Is this something possible, or doable?
