Re: [GNC] ANNOUNCE: GnuCash 4.10 Released

2022-04-01 Thread Adam J. Griff, Ph.D.

Wanted to give a quick CONGRATS on this new release with added features.
Great work adding the new features on generic import transaction matcher 
of ofx/qfx specifically append on updating and clearing and ability to 
edit description/memo/notes. I had been missing the ability to put what 
the purchase was for on an entry during import and having to go back 
after import to update the details.

Subject: [GNC] ANNOUNCE: GnuCash 4.10 Released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.10, the eleventh release in 
the stable 4.x series

Between 4.9 and 4.10, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

 Bug 684507 - commodity namespace should be localized
 Bug 741674 - Newly created Scheduled Transactions appear in existing 
search windows
 Bug 797501 - Currency symbols in Hebrew (RTL) language
 Bug 797772 - Allow reconciliation report to double filter by both posting 
and reconciliation date
 Bug 798164 - Import transaction window does not allow changing the 
transaction description.
 Bug 798272 - up/down arrow keys do not work in account selection pop-up
 Bug 798375 - Transfer Account Selection not editable after typing error
 Bug 798386 - Cannot increment date by 1 day with Japanese keyboard.Allow 
';' to increment the date because on those keyboards + is shift-;.
 Bug 798391 -OFX import routine keeps prompting for accepted (and 
reconciled) transactions when imported again

 Bug 798438 - on reconcile window, click on the last column 'R' does not 
order the entries according with the status
 Bug 798448 - Column 'num' cannot be null
 Bug 798458 - Build failure with gcc 12
 Bug 798474 - Windows 10: Mouse scroll wheel on register only scrolls 1 
pixel at a time (instead of 1 line at a time)

The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:

 Added a BETA Stock Transaction Assistant to help create a variety of 
securities transactions. To try it out start GnuCash with the --extra option, open 
a stock-type register, and select Actions>Stock Assistant. Please note any 
issues on Bug 798004.
 Remove the hard-coded default namespaces"AMEX", "NASDAQ", "NYSE", "EUREX", and 
"FUND" from the New Security dialog. These namespaces were added to the list of existing namespaces; it was necessary 
to create a commodity that used one of them to make that one an actual namespace, so users who have commodities in e.g. the 
namespace NYSE will still see that namespace in the selection list. Reasoning: The list was necessarily incomplete and confused 
new users.
 Fixed the Income Statement report table formating so that all sections get 
laid out to the same width.
 [Python Bindings]Implement some comparison and arithmetic operators for 
GncNumeric
 Budgets are sensitive to readonly status

 Disable some budget features if book is readonly
 Fix suppression of "cut split/transaction" warnings for the current session

 These were not working because they were missing from the temporary 
warnings settings schema. The warnings could only be dismissed permanently. Add 
them to the temporary warnings section of the settings schema.
 Currencies in several locations not displayed correctly for Hebrew
 [category-barchart] Added option to show ratios
 [html-chart] Add format style option for numbers
 Better wording for tax table changed info message.
 [register] Checkbox any value other than 0x20 (ASCII space) is true, 
because it can be X or U+2716 now and could be something else in future. Fixes 
in particular the disappearing tax-included and tax-table in the Invoice/Bill 
entry register.
 [Python Bindings]Provide the complete set of QOF enums in gnucash
 [Pyton Bindings]Provide wrapper for qof numeric predicate

 Python bindings already have some wrapping objects for qof predicates. 
This adds the one missing for GncNumeric comparisons. Additionally fixes a 
wrong number for QOF_NUMERIC_MATCH_ANY in example file.
 Remove commodity-table.scm, 

Re: [GNC] How to Manually Match transactions

2020-11-21 Thread Adam J. Griff, Ph.D.
   Have some good news and an even better solution that can be added to
   the FAQ or How-to.
   2 Options that work for associating/matching a transaction that does
   not import match:
   1 - Import from Account A and assign to Account B at import or before
   importing Account B. Then when importing Account B, the two
   transactions will be matched to each other. This is the proactive
   correct solution. So obvious.
   2 - In the case import QFX from Account A and match is not made before
   hand, then importing  Account B won't find a match. Fix is to assign
   either Account A or Account B transaction to the other account
   respectively. Then delete the duplicate transaction, lets say, account
   B has two entries because Account A was assigned to Account B as the
   destination. Now, re-import Account  B and the import matcher will now
   match those two entries, success.
   Again, option 1 is what you want and option 2 is a good recovery to fix
   the issue.

   Thanks for the great suggestions everyone.
   I tried the idea of changing from A to C during import and then looking
   for a match but no matches were present to select from in the matcher
   dialog. I even manually changed the date of the transaction in account
   A to match the date of account B before importing, then did the import
   and the matcher still did not find anything to offer up.
   Too bad GnuCash does not allow selecting the match from the full list
   of transactions or matching at other times besides import. Hopefully
   this was a special case match issue and the norm will be to find a
   match for the transfers like your example of PayPal and the multi-day
   float.
   Otherwise, I can manually fix the issue or use Frank's short-term float
   account "money in transfer" to match the transactions.
   I have the default import setting of bayesian and 1, 3, 6 for
   thresholds, I tried changing the match display threshold to 0 but no
   impact.
   As a side note, I tested the QIF file for the same transactions instead
   to see if that worked better and had the strange issue of GnuCash
   hanging. Tried it several times with the same issue.
   David places like PayPal/Venmo still enjoy the float on their end and
   offer a rapid no-float option for a fee, win-win for them.
