from:"Adrien Monteleone"


Thanks. I was chasing a ghost on that one.

John advised this has to do with the type of SLR window being used for 
SX. One is modal, the other not. Which one you see depends on if 
transactions were created and depends on your SX settings.


I guess my settings are such that I never get the modal window so I 
never see this problem. (I also turned off the splash screen and the Tip 
of the Day)

Re: [GNC] Entry Point Not Found error


The wiki page on upgrading would be a good read here.

A few caveats:

1. version numbering scheme changed with 3.x, so if you were on say 2.4, 
you first need to upgrade to the last 2.6.x (which was 2.6.21, I think) 
then you can move to the last 3.x, then the current 4.x.


2. You don't have to go through every version, just the last of each 
major release. (you don't even have to install the x.0 versions either)

Adrien

Kari,
You say you upgraded from an "ancient" version.  I have seen recommendations that users upgrade 
in steps , not a wholesale upgrade.  I would try uninstalling, then install the next major level, say 3.0.  
Try that and if it lets you in, run "Actions/Check & Repair/Check & Repair All".  Then 
upgrade to  v4.0 and repeat.  Once this is working, then upgrade to 4.1.  Good Luck!

Re: [GNC] How to reorganize the account tree

Note, I seem to vaguely recall a case where GnuCash is smart enough and 
helpful enough to swap the columns for you when changing account types, 
but I don't recall if this is when you simply edit, or if you delete the 
account and choose to move the transactions to an account of a different 
type.

In this case, I'd advise using View > Transaction Journal so you can

moving the amounts from the left to the right and vice versa. That is 
easy to do by simply adding a minus sign in front of an amount. GnuCash

Please remember to use 'reply-to-list' or 'reply-all' so the discussion 
stays on the list. Others may benefit, and others may be able to help 
out too.


As to your question, I'm guessing you want to move some accounts within 
the tree. Simply select the desired account (don't open its register) 
click the Edit button on the toolbar. (or right-click, then choose 
'edit') Finally, simply select the new parent account in the 
bottom-right pane of the edit window and click 'OK'.


The account has now moved to be a child of the new parent account.

Note that while you can move accounts to different main parts of the 
tree (such as moving an asset to a liability) you should also edit the 
account type (bottom-left pane of the account window) and if you have 
transactions in it, you'll possibly need to swap the columns containing

What I do notice sorting this way is that within the top level accounts

under Assets AREN'T sorted alphabetically, while those under Expenses and
Income ARE. I have insufficient sub-accounts under Equity and Liabilities to

Re: [GNC] How to reorganize the account tree

2022-06-11 Thread Adrien Monteleone

On the accounts tab there is a header with one of the headings having a 
down or up arrow in it. Use these to sort the tree.


You might be sorted by something other than Account Name.

Otherwise, they should default to an alpha sort unless you've prepended 
names with account numbers. (rather than putting the numbers in their 
own field)

Re: [GNC] Startup issue - two windows

I find it odd though that the SX window is hogging focus. Perhaps this 
is a Desktop/OS thing.


Mine is not. (on MacOS BigSur)

Though of course, I understand, all of us, regardless of OS are dealing 
with GTK when using GnuCash, so I'm not *really* using Mac's desktop for 
this app. (though maybe some code-translation rules apply?)


I've played around with this issue and can't seem to duplicate the 
condition where I get an SX window that tells me transactions were 
auto-created and requiring me to dismiss it before anything else frees 
up. (modal)


I'll play some more, but perhaps this is an SX setting issue? (I tell it 
to remind me, and auto-create, and I opt to review, but I've turned 
various of those off and on to no avail)

Adrien

On 6/10/22 11:41 AM, john wrote:

The "no scheduled transactions" dialog is modal (see

Adrien has already suggested that you turn off the status bar and the tip-of-the-day 
dialog in preferences; you could also disable  Show notification window in the Scheduled 
Transactions tab in Preferences. That will suppress the "no scheduled

Re: [GNC] edit --> find --> description contains fails to show accounts receivable items


Hmmm... I just happened to need to do a Find and tried this out.

I intentionally chose an account that I knew was definitely *not* 
involved in the transaction I was looking for. (or any other 
transactions that would match my criteria)


Yet, the results were the same if I had this account 'selected' or not. 
(which returned results when it shouldn't have, and as expected, none 
involved that selected account.)


Maybe this is a terminology problem concerning 'selected' and 'focus'?

I'm doing the search from the Accounts Tab being in 'focus'. (that is, 
it is the active tab which I am viewing)


If I 'select' (highlight, but do not open) an account, and do a Find, 
this has no effect. (I thought this is what the OP said they did, and 
what I thought Liz was referring to)


If I *open* a particular account (thus now viewing its register which is 
now 'in focus' and the Accounts Tab is no longer the active tab) *now* 
the search is filtered to that account.


Which is exactly what I was warning about in my original comment.

If the OP is not getting results they expect from *other* affected 
accounts, either something is off with their criteria, or they are 
getting filtered results by doing the search from a particular register 
rather than the Accounts Tab.

Re: [GNC] Export as text or CSV


Reports are HTML.

They open quite easily in spreadsheet apps.

You can then massage as needed to remove extraneous spacing columns and 
then convert to CSV.


(you can also select-all and then paste non-formatted text into a 
spreadsheet if you don't want to save first)


If you do the copy/paste method, most spreadsheets should offer you 
options for importing the text so you can clean up a few formatting 
issues. (though not all)


You could also export a report and script the stripping of formatting 
spaces, converting it to CSV. (I'm pretty sure there is already an app 
that can convert HTML tables to CSV, thus saving having to 're-make the 
wheel')


There are also ways to get your data outside of the GnuCash GUI.

There is a CLI interface and Python bindings. I haven't used either, but 
some here on the list have.


There is also a separate app called Piecash, which can extract data from GC.

Hope one of those will get you what you need.

Adrien

The best I have found so far is Select via mouse the text on the multiple

then Ctrl-C to copy to clipboard, then Ctrl-V to paste into a file in an
editor.
Unfortunately, that process ends up wrapping lines (to perhaps 80

Then edit the CSV for the proper Descriptions & Accounts before

accomplished with some creative copy/paste (or spreadsheet

going to be a pain. The time savings of the importer learning your 
transactions comes from repeated importing. (teaching it what it guesses 
wrong as you go)


The usual advice is one month at a time, but I'd say that depends on 
account activity. Be your own judge of how many transactions you want to 
train the importer with at a time. Probably something like 100 
transactions would be a reasonable 'top-limit' though that may be a bit 
high depending on your stamina and pain threshold for repetitive work.

@Gyle,
The suggested approach may work well when entering the transactions manually
and then reconciling.


However, I am not entering the transactions manually. I am importing all the
bank transactions, including the transfers, from several CSV files to an
empty GnuCash file.

Re: [GNC] Transfer Dates


That's what the Description line is for.

I suppose you can use it for all sorts of things, but personally I only 
use it as a 'payee' line, that is, whomever is receiving my funds.


If I'm the one receiving, then it is a 'payor' line, the one giving me 
money.


Sticking to that, you should easily be able to see where in-transit 
funds are coming from and going to.


If that still isn't good enough, create sub-accounts for either sources 
or destinations.

Re: [GNC] Startup issue - two windows

2022-06-05 Thread Adrien Monteleone

This looks like a problem with the Scheduled Transaction (SX) window 
rather than a general focus problem.


Try this in order:

1. Uncheck: Preferences > Scheduled Transactions > Since Last Run > 'Run 
when data file opened'.


Does the Splash still appear to hang?

Can you close the Tip window?

2. Re-check the above, then uncheck: 'Show notification window'

same questions

3. Re-check both of the above, and also make sure 'Review created 
transactions' is checked.


again - same questions

The idea here is that either the SX window or a specific SX is producing 
a hang condition with the splash screen. (It is as if Splash is waiting 
for the SX window to be dismissed before closing itself)


I can't duplicate that situation. I have several SXs and the Splash 
closes itself just fine and the SX window doesn't control focus or 
prevent me from closing other windows. (I also have the Bills/Invoices 
Due Reminder windows opening at start)


I haven't yet tested on Fedora, but can do that next. If still can't get 
it to repeat, then my money is on a specific SX being the issue.


Did you create or edit an SX before this problem started? (there might 
be a specific SX causing the problem)

Adrien

First, that looks like the Splash Screen is either hung, or you just
took the screen shot before it finished. But your earlier reply seem to

The system is hung like this for several minutes.
Normally, Gnucash starts up in one second.



Second, the transient windows remember their place. So before you close
them, move them to a corner of the screen away from the center. When you
re-start GnuCash, they should re-open where you left them. This will
help with the stacking problem.



Did that, which can be seen in the screenshot here.



Third, Although the tip pops up right after the splash for me, it stays
in focus until the SX window comes up, which steals it. But I can still
click in the tip window to gain focus and close it. (the Splash screen
closes itself)



I can click on the Tip window.  It gets focus.  But, when I click on Close
there,
nothing happens.



Can you not click on the tip window indicator in the dock to gain focus?



When I click on Tip window in dock at bottom of screen,
several windows disappear.  Click again, and they re-appear.
Those windows are:
   Tip
   Accounts
   None scheduled
Leaving just the splash window.

Just found out that if I click Close on the None scheduled window,
it closes and the Splash window closes.  Then I can click on Close
in the Tip window and it closes.



Finally, you can turn off both the splash screen and/or the Tip of the
Day if they are causing problems. (Preferences > General)



I have discovered that if I press Esc, then windows close and
everything is OK.

Re: [GNC] need help getting started


Eric,

Check the Help and the Tutorial (linked from the website, but should be 
available from within GnuCash). I don't recall which, but one describes 
the CSV format for importing bills/invoices.


I don't *think* you can import them as paid, because it isn't just a 
flag on the transaction. There is a link to the payment transaction as 
well that is needed. The only way I know of setting that properly, is to 
either 'Process Payment' or if the payment transaction is already 
entered (most likely in your case) then right-click and 'assign as 
payment'. (which brings up the Process Payment window with some details 
already filled out and which will link that transaction as a payment to 
that 'document')


You could maybe ask on IRC, but I don't think there is a programmatic 
way to do this at this time. (there are python bindings, however, I 
don't think they expose everything)


As for contributions, I think that info is on the website, wiki, or both.

The devs follow this list too, so one of them may see this and offer 
more definitive guidance.

Adrien

Late last year one of their updates lost or scrambled years of my business accounting

I discovered GnuCash in February this year and with a lot of very hard work and 
digging got almost all entries into it: the major journals balance.
Six months of digging, creating and importing .csv files and seeing what broke. 
And repeat.

I would like to convert my brute force AR and AP entries into the GnuCash

Importing from CSV to regular journals was tricky, but I got it done and

Is there any way to import the invoice data from CSV to the

Paid flags set right?

In the distant past I programmed accounting systems in RPG. Some help there.

I have much programming experience (PC computers unfortunately) in C, C++, and 
Python: I would like to help with the project.
I need help finding out how to do this, I have not yet found such in the

And, how do I contribute the money I would have paid for Quicken to this worthy

Re: [GNC] Odd Invoice Total (Rounding Issue Maybe)

I'd file a bug, label it as 'Regression' since a change broke something 
that worked.


Be sure to indicate the version that worked and the tested versions that 
do not.


I vaguely recall some work done to 'improve' rounding due to other bugs 
around the 3.x series. I guess this slipped through or wasn't 
exposed/tested to catch it.

Thanks Adrien,
Yes, since posting I have done some more testing, and it does appear to 
be a rounding issue when using Inclusive Tax.
I have also tried the same example in 4.10 Flatpak, and the issue 
remains the same.


I assume that in version 2.6.17 the calculation was made in a different 
way.  I can't see any preferences that may be set differently, that may 
be able to change the behaviour.
It appears that when entering Inclusive Tax amounts, behind the scene it 
actually calculates the Exclusive amount, then adds those figures 
together to work out the Invoice Total.


Is there any way to get the calculation behaviour back to how it worked 
in 2.6.17?

Re: [GNC] Invoice showing balance due


There is another option:

If you already have processed a pre-payment/over-payment, the result 
will be a credit on the customer's account.


If you check the box for Preferences > Business > Invoices > 'Process 
payments on posting', then when you post the next invoice for that 
customer, GnuCash will automatically apply that credit.


If you then choose the option for the Invoice Report to 'show payments' 
you'll see the credit applied.


This saves you a few steps, but both methods work.

Adrien

I just stumbled through this issue as well.  I was able to get a $2,000
customer credit to show as a payment on a new invoice by doing the
following steps:

1) create new invoice and post to A/R.
2) select new invoice and make payment.
3) when the payment window opens select the outstanding credit plus the
new invoice amount.
4) in the payment amount section enter $0.00.  This should apply the
credit to the new invoice.
5) print new invoice.  When printing new invoice select the Options tab
then Diplay tab and make sure "payments" are selected to print.
6) print new invoice as PDF and verify the customer credit was applied

The small colorful splash window at GnuCash startup is the top window.

There also is some other window (related to Schedule Transactions), but I

Hi Group.
I am just doing some testing testing with updated versions (to me) of 
GnuCash.


I have been using GnuCash for a while on an older machine, it is running 
2.6.17 and it is working perfectly, unfortunately the machine it is on 
is starting to have issues, so am in the process of migrating to a newer 
machine, and therefore a newer version of GnuCash (finally).


The issue I'm having is on a specific Invoice the TOTAL shown down the 
bottom is 1 cent out.  I could understand it if I was doing % discounts 
etc, but the invoice is very basic, and the total seems to be correct, 
until the last entry.


Invoice Details:
Date  Description  Action Quantity Unit Price Discount 
Type  Discount How  Discount   Tax Subtotal   Tax
Today    Item 1   Material   1 $1049.00   % 
<    X $953.64    $95.36
Today    Item 2   Material   1 $222.00   % 
<    X $201.82    $20.18
Today    Item 3   Material   1 $15.00   % 
<    X       $13.64 $1.36
Today    Item 4   Material   1 $30.00   % 
<    X       $27.27 $2.73
Today    Item 5   Material   1 $59.15   % 
<    X   $53.77 $5.38
Today    Item 6   Project     1 $200.00   % 
<    X $181.82 $18.18


The Discount Type and Discount How, are just the prepopulated values and 
are not used as there is no Discount amount.


The TOTAL at the bottom left of the Invoice entry screen is correct 
until adding the last entry, where it then shows:  $1,575.16 instead of 
the expected $1,575.15.


I have tried adding in the Invoice details to a new Invoice, and using 
two different versions of GnuCash, both seem to show the same 
behaviour.  Are there any suggestions as to why this may be happening, 
and how to fix it?  It is not very comforting that what appears to be a 
simple Invoice, with not discounts etc, is added up wrong.  If I change 
the Item 5 entry to $59.14 I correctly get $1,575.14.  But once again 
changing the Item 5 to $59.15 gives a Total of $1,575.16.

Yes, it is Preferences > Business > Invoices/Bills > 'Process payments

I use it and it auto-applies outstanding pre-payment/over-payment credit

Of course, one has to have already 'processed payment' for that 
vendor/customer for the feature to 'see' the amount to apply towards the 
current invoice/bill.

[GNC] Nifty Feature for Examining Report HTML for Customization

Until now, if I wanted to examine the HTML behind a report, I exported, 
opened it in a browser and used the built-in inspector, or just opened 
it with an editor. (using an inspector lets you play with changes and 
get instant feedback)


I happened to be right-clicking around a report just now, and noticed 
the familiar 'Inspect Element' context-menu entry.


As GnuCash uses WebKit to render reports, it seems the WebKit inspector 
comes along for free. (I thought that was built-in to the browser, not 
realizing it is part of the rendering engine)


So you can inspect any report element to see what HTML tag it lives 
under, as well as any applied CSS. You can then play to your heart's 
content to modify the appearance to your liking. (within bounds of the 
report, you can't change the underlying HTML or add classes or IDs for 
targeting) And you can do it all right there without exporting the 
report or leaving GnuCash!


If someone has time and wants to document this in the Wiki, please do. 
If I get some free time and I don't see it yet, I'll add it later.

Re: [GNC] Strange incorrect due date calculated on a duplicated bill


Scratch that.

I inadvertently put 11/7/22 as the posting date, so it correctly 
calculated the due date as 11/27/22.


But this was a 2021 bill. When I caught the mistake, unposted and 
reposted for 11/7/21, it still calculates the due date as 19days instead 
of 20.


Gremlins abound.

Maybe there was one day between 11/7/21 and 11/26/21 that existed in 
reality but not on the calendar? (I've always wanted an extra day no one 
else knows about just so I can get stuff done without interruptions...)


I resorted to editing the bill, setting terms to 'none' and then 
manually specifying a due date. (not that it really matters, since it 
was long ago paid, but just for consistency)

Re: [GNC] Strange incorrect due date calculated on a duplicated bill


I'm using SQLite, but the time stamp for posting is:

2021-11-07 10:59:00

Which seems to be a regularly used stamp, for this vendor at least.

A subsequent duplicated bill (off of this one) for December correctly

Hi,
First, yes, the attachment came through.
Second, you posted on the 7th and the due date is the 26th.
My initial guess, as it's a Net20, is that there is a TimeOfDay issue at
hand here, where the addition of 20 days is such that it thinks it's
before the 27th.
Did you actually post it?  If so, can you take a look at the XML for the
invoice and see what date/time is actually presented?

Re: [GNC] Mass Reconcile

2022-05-22 Thread Adrien Monteleone


Interesting approach.

Some reports let you search on several fields for specific matches, so 
for those, you could simply include your 'tags' in the Description, 
Notes, or Memo fields.


That would save lots of effort maintaining and including in each 
transaction 'dummy' splits as 'tags'.


Unfortunately at the moment, the P/Income Statement is not one of 
these reports. (though that would be extremely useful)

Hi,

Is it possible to create multiple taxes/group of taxes in gnucash?
So we have a case here :
We sell a service for $1000, the tax will be :

  *   VAT 10% = $100
  *   Service Tax 2% = $2
But this service tax will be deducted from our payment by our customer
So instead of being paid 1100, we will be paid 1000 + 100 – 2 = 1098

And this 2% service tax will be placed as asset in our balance sheet (if we 
sell) and will be placed as liabilities (if we buy)

I imagine I could record the purchase merely as an expense and record the sale 
merely as income?
But I would like to show the cost and the income related to each specific item 
I sell. So I imagine another way I could do it would be to convert the money 
used to pay for the purchase into an asset, and then convert it back into money 
when I complete a sale. I hope to be able to show that as the value of the 
checking account decreases the value of the asset account increases and vice

add a split to the record of the sale and label it income? Because I think that 
would only capture the net. I would want the record to show that money received 
from the sale would be counted as income. I also would want to show that any 
cost related to selling the item was an expense.

Please reply with which method is the best suggested method. Also please

Re: [GNC] Startup issue - two windows

2022-05-18 Thread Adrien Monteleone

In my original reply of suggestions to try, I was working on the 
assumption that the user had inadvertently raised focus while the 
controlling window was generated. The only way around that is to not 
touch anything till all windows load.


But if a window that demands control is not also 'sticky' to the top of 
the window stack, I'd think that is a bug. It might be a GTK bug, but 
this might be a GnuCash bug if GC is using the wrong window type for 
that 'controlling' window which is demanding user action before giving 
up focus to other windows for the app.


Personally, I don't use full screen and *none* of the non-main windows 
*ever* steal focus/control or demand user interaction before I can click 
anywhere else. So perhaps there is something else at play.


Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] Integration between Freshbooks and Gnucash?

2022-05-16 Thread Adrien Monteleone


On 5/16/22 3:48 PM, Jim DeLaHunt wrote:
One tedious aspect of this combination is that I need to re-author my 
invoices in GnuCash after I author them in Freshbooks and send them to 
the customer. 


Can Freshbooks export your invoices to CSV? (or other spreadsheet format)

If so, you can then import that to GnuCash. Check the Help & the Guide. 
One of them has the input format for invoices. You may need to modify 
the export a bit before importing to GnuCash. And it might work out that 
this modification is scriptable so you don't have to do it manually 
every time.


Also, if I buy something for a customer, I enter the
bookkeeping transaction in GnuCash and then re-author it in Freshbooks 
so that I can bill the expense to my client. It would be nice to avoid 
this duplication.


You can export transactions from GnuCash, sure. Exactly how you go about 
that would depend on your account setup. (or you may need to alter it to 
make this easier)


I believe the export is CSV.

Freshbooks has an API [2], which should let apps send data to and 
receive data from Freshbooks via HTTP calls and JSON data structures. 
They just launched an App Store [3] where vendors can advertise apps 
which integrate with Freshbooks. I do not see any apps there at the 
moment which mention GnuCash. But it should be possible to author such 
an app.


It probably won't ever. But your own script that pulls GnuCash data and 
then sends it to Freshbooks via the API might be worth exploring.


Note, GnuCash has its own CLI features (and a Python interface) so you 
might be able to use them for reading the data, then formatting it as 
needed to JSON.

Adrien

Are you using a second display, or have you used a second display, in

If you can get to the GnuCash main window and it is responsive, go to

Re: [GNC] Changing the default Font

2022-05-11 Thread Adrien Monteleone


I'm pretty sure the file is supposed to be:

gtk-3.0.css, not
gtk-30.css

Also, it doesn't go in your 'My Documents' folder.

The wiki explains how to make these adjustments, the proper file name, 
and the proper file location for each operating system.

That's Google being 'helpful' by 'suggesting' substitutions so as not to 
be allegedly offensive. I guess it reads okay, but that doesn't mean it 
conveys what you intended. (I wonder, does it edit *incoming* mail too?)


Since you brought up visual impairment, the choice of Green is a really 
bad one. Some percentage of the population can't perceive Green, nor 
differentiate it from Red. To them, both colors looks like shades of 
Gray. This would still be a visual indicator, but which one, Red or 
Green? Good to Go, or Stop-Error?


I personally think the simple inactive-to-active change is fine.

I think it would be confusing if one button's appearance took a different

Already, in some cases,  the icon or button is invisible when it is
non-functional,  and in other cases it is grayed out.

GnuCash has the further confusion that some buttons change their function
depending on where in the transaction view the cursor happens to be
sitting,  which could be very confusing to persons with visual impairment.
  The previous sentence was changed by the spell checker and now it confused
me so much that I will just leave it a mess.

One of the buttons that change is the delete line/transaction button.

I would ask for a developer to make the program behavior generally more
consistent,  naming as many examples of inconsistency as possible.

Re: [GNC] Startup issue - two windows

2022-05-10 Thread Adrien Monteleone

The issue with not being able to close the tip of the day window is the 
Scheduled Transactions window has stolen focus.


First click on the Tip of the Day window to raise it to the 'top of the 
window stack' and then close it.


Then use whatever means of your OS to reveal windows hidden beneath 
other windows. There you'll see the Scheduled Transaction window, where 
you can interact/dismiss it.


Alternatively, do that part first, then dismiss the Tip of the Day window.

What OS? Are you running GnuCash full screen at startup?

Almost. What exactly do you mean by 'likely closing balance'? Closing

There is no overall 'closing balance' save perhaps a Net Worth

Budget reports can show you the budgeted amount, actual amount, 
difference, and do this by period with a yearly or even year-to-date 
'grand total' if you like. (or even running totals rather then 
individual periods) But this report is 'by-account', and does not show 
an 'overall closing balance'. (whatever that means)

Re: [GNC] List of securities with Get Online Quotes


Fred,

See my reply in your 'Hang' thread.

As soon as I got my second hang in GnuCash, I resorted to CLI, keeping 
GnuCash Price DB open to check each of the symbols one-by-one.


F::Q/Alphavantage would hang on the CLI too for random symbols. 
Sometimes it would instantly retrieve say USD->EUR, then hang on 
USD->CAD, then on a subsequent try of CAD first, would retrieve it, then 
several others, then hang on EUR. And I wasn't rapid firing the commands 
either. I would intentionally wait a full minute before each request.


I never did resolve it as eventually all symbols caused a hang 
(including those that should not: EUR, CAD, GBP) and eventually all 
(even some old 'obsolete' currencies) gave me a quote via CLI, so I 
couldn't determine which if any I should remove from the GnuCash Price list.


If these random hangs happen via CLI, then I doubt GnuCash is involved. 
This is likely either an issue with F::Q or Alphavantage. (I didn't try 
other sources after the above tries)


Regards,
Adrien

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


Check out the GnuCash Wiki concerning using the Debian Archive:

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Ubuntu#GnuCash_.40_Debian_Archive

It is linked there, but you can look at the list of available .deb 
packages here:


http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gnucash/

Theoretically, you could download and then use Gdebi or dpkg to install 
from there, but as noted, you might run into dependency problems on 
16.04. But as you can see looking at that list, several newer versions 
that 2.6.12 though sadly 2.6.19/21 are not among them. (this is an 
archive of the versions built for each Ubuntu release, 4.10 didn't make 
it in time for 22.04, so this is the only way one can get it short of 
building or flatpak)


You should only need the gnucash-common and gnucash packages. For 
gnucash-common use the 'all' deb for the version you want, and for 
gnucash, use the matching version i386 with the most recent date. (thus 
if you want version 3.10, you need v3.10 for both files)


As for choosing a version, here's the tough part:

The wiki notes that 2.6.15 (available in the archive) will work on 16.04 
& 16.10, but as you note from the error, that isn't recent enough.


The wiki also notes that 3.0 will work on 18.04, and 3.2 (allegedly the 
last update on that wiki page) is untested on older versions of Ubuntu.


Unfortunately, the archive jumps from 2.6.15 to 3.4, then 3.10, 4.4, & 
4.10, so you're in uncharted territory unless someone else has done this 
already and can chime in.


If you can do-release-upgrade to 18.04, that will help you considerably. 
(likely at least get into the 3.x series) and if you can then get to 
20.04 or better, you should be gravy for 4.x.

Adrien

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

If I recall correctly, the original plan was to stop 32-binaries &
installers for 18.04, but the outcry resulted in a back-track.
(thankfully, too many good machines in perfect working order out there,
I manage several.)

The big push was Steam, but there were some other libraries that needed
to continue 32-bit support. Canonical then realized they could continue
to provide builds, sans stand-alone installers, but with the caveat that
they won't take bug reports because they got rid of (or have a lack of)
the physical hardware for testing. I think there are some core packages
and libraries they try to continue to patch and support however.

I could almost bet that I installed 18.04 with fresh 32-bit installers,
but I could be misremembering.

Adrien

The deal is this: Ubuntu no longer provides *installers* for 32-bit machines

live CD ISOs for 32-bit machines. Once you have a 32-bit version installed,
you can always do a 'do-release-upgrade' on that 32-bit machine and it will
upgrade to the next release -- on a 32-bit Ubuntu 16.04, do-release-upgrade
will get you Ubuntu 18.04, then doing it again (after rebooting), you will
have a 32-bit version of 20.04, and then doing it yet again, you will have
22.04, still 32-bit. I don't know if (when?) Ubuntu will stop building 32-bit
binaries -- I suspect that as long as there remain support for 32-bit in the
kernel and as long as gcc supports compiling for a 32-bit target, you will be
able to upgrade a 32-bit machine. The only really issue is what happens when
certain critical parts for that 32-bit machine stop being available. OTOH,
the only really 32-bit parts (CPU, motherboard, and memory) could last
indefinately -- the only parts that will wear out would be some of the
capacitors on the motherboard, which could be replaced. It should even be
possible to replace the CPU fan. I don't know if there are BIOS issues with
very large disks or if there will be some sort of "brick wall" issue with a
32-bit kernel dealing with ginormous disks -- I suspect that even a 32-bit
kernel will have no trouble a 1KT drives, but by then the issue will be

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

And if your older system has a version greater than 2.6.19 on it, something

Re: [GNC] Large GnuCash file very slow to write to

'Saves' with SQLite are supposed to be instant. That is, all commits on

If you've removed Piecash temporarily from the workflow, and it still

Do you have a very large number of tabs open when you exit? (such as 25+

reports, but perhaps shutdown can be affected as well.)


Note, I'm on an older '13 Mini with BigSur, but my file is only 16.5MB,

Python program using Piecash.

I was simply hoping that maybe someone else had experienced this and might have

used for manipulating GnuCash files, the thought occurred that others on the

before I go down this track I'll a browse though the Piecash code.

I'll report back if I find anything or have success in speeding things up.

If I restart GnuCash, I get a message about the lock cannot be
obtained.  I can force that with Open Anyway.

Good to know. I'm sure many here will be happy if it picks back up.

Re: [GNC] QIF import error

2022-05-06 Thread Adrien Monteleone


GnuCash for Android is a separate project.

Last I heard, it isn't even an active one. (no commits since mid-2018)

You can try their GitHub page: https://github.com/codinguser/gnucash-android

Hi
I have recently come across GnuCash which I have installed on my Samsung J6 
android phone.

I am trying to sync transactions between my Quicken 2016 install on my Windows 
11 desktop with GnuCash on my android device using an exported QIF file. Each 
time I attempt to import the file I get the following error

“An error occurred while importing the GnuCash accounts at line 1, column 0: 
not well-formatted (invalid token)”

I am unable to find an example of a valid example of a file that works?

The first few lines are

!Option:AutoSwitch
!Account
NLloyds Linda ISA (Cash)
TBank
^

I have tried removing the !option:AutoSwitch which makes no difference.

Long term I am trying to write a vbnet app to massarge the qif files to the 
correct format, any clues what I am missing?

Re: [GNC] Change layout and font sizes in Transaction Report - how?

I just played around with it on the Transaction Report and came up with 
this:


td:first-child {
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: large;
}

The Account Name doesn't have a class or id to target, but it just so 
happens to be always the first td child of a new tr element in the 
entire report. (best I can tell, I didn't play with all options)


Give that a go.

I do see prominent Account Totals but I agree, the initial Account Name 
starting each section should be more noticeable.

Adrien

Re: [GNC] Can one save report option defaults?

I use this method for a monthly P for a running 'at a glance' when I 
want it. Since the report is set to reference dates (start/end of this 
month) rather than specific dates, I don't have to change any options. 
It just rolls over to the new month when the date changes.

Adrien

I find I nearly always change the same five or six report options

start with the values I want?


No there is not unfortunately.


If the report is still open (tab) it will be the last way you ran it.

Thus if I am running an "Income Statement" or "Balance Sheet" there a 
while bunch of options I want to remain the same and a few, maybe just 
the dates or date (for those two reports respectively) that I will 
always want to change. So I go to the tab for that report and use edit 
=> report options and just change the date. The rest of my non default 
selections are still there.


What report specifically are you have the problem of options not 
"sticking" if the report was left open << of course if you closed it and 
are opening a fresh report, will all be default >>

Re: [GNC] Is there a way to handle same-named GnuCash files sensibly?


XCIF is your friend!

You can back-date the meta for those images and scans with something 
like `exiftool`. No definitive word of if it runs on Linux, but it does 
on MacOS and other Unix systems.


Otherwise there is a web implementation: https://exif.tools

I agree to an extent, it's just that the 'date as part of filename' in
my case is in the directory structure rather than the file name.  It's
not just for GnuCash and other similar sorts of things.  I have my
photo collcetion in a decade/year/month/day directory hierarchy.

So photos I took on 24th March this year are in:-

 /home/chris/pictures/2020s/2022/03/24

holidays in the 1960s, and everywhere in between.

Re: [GNC] Issues with Payables


Yeah, can't do that.

Right click the transaction and use 'Edit Payment' to change the date. 
That way the 'Business Features' will be cognizant of the change.


To fix the existing transactions' "no owner" problem, you'll also likely 
need to re-select the proper document they apply to.

Adrien

How are you entering these payments? That should be done with the
'Process Payments' feature where you select the document

For existing transactions you can right-click them and choose Edit
Payment to assign it properly.

If you are importing the payment transactions you'll have to 'Edit
Payment' for each one after import.

Re: [GNC] Change layout and font sizes in Transaction Report - how?

Export the report. The format is HTML, then you can examine it with a 
text editor and/or open it in a browser and use its inspector.


Alternatively, just open it in a spreadsheet app and manipulate it from 
there.

Adrien

The Transaction Report probably provides the information that my
auditor wants by listing each account's transactions in order and
giving the total amount below each account.

However the formatting and font sizes seem a little odd and I'd like
to change them if I can.

I have two fairly simple requirements:-

 Increase the space below "Total for " before the
 name of the next account appears.

 Increase the font size for the account name that appears at the
 top of each account's transactions.  As it is at present it's just
 in the default small size used for all the 'body' text and so the
 name doesn't stand out to indicate the start of the next account.


I can 'do' CSS but there don't seem to be any obvious selectors for
the items I want to change.  Is there any detailed description of what
selectors are available in the CSS stylesheet?
