Re: [GNC] Help selecting accounts for a report
Hello helpers! Happy holidays. Not sure when this might be seen … but crossing my fingers. Ive used GNC for a few months in MacOS. I’ve figured out how to do basic reporting by editing the standard options. i now need help in literally selecting the accounts for my new income statement. It would be easy if the accounts were all contiguous in my chart of accounts and I’d simply select the relevant group. However, i have a group of expenses that I want to match with an income account. I can select each set but not both …to “selectively select” I’ve tried things like holding down shift key so i can skip to only relevant accounts. Is there a simple shift/option/control/command whatever set of keystrokes i need to know? I hope that makes sense. Anyway, y’all have a happy holiday and I’m very grateful for those who invest time in helping others.

[GNC] Online Quotes
Since installing version 5.0 of gnucash, online quotes has stopped working for me. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling perl and the finance quote function several times but no joy. When I try and retrieve quotes via the price tool, I get two blank perl screens flash up but not error messages and no update. I have looked in the bin directory and gnc-fq-dump seems to be missing?? Could this be the problem? How can I download it?

Re: [GNC] Unable to reconcile
It was mentioned that this issue arose after an update - in fact, that it was the first reconciliation since that update. On 01/07/2019 17:10:49, David Carlson wrote: As others have also mentioned, they are not seeing the same issue that you are, at least with the given details. While your last message does list the transaction dates in detail, it does not mention other factors such as whether this, for you, is a new issue in a recent update or whether reconciling in GnuCash is a process that you may be trying for the first time, or whether you have verified the other steps, including checking the starting and ending balances. Now that release 3.6 is out, you (and others) can also check whether that release behaves the same way. Historically, others have not seen your issue, but you are correct that it should not be requiring that transactions be dated on the cleared date, unless you are specifically trying to match dates to the dates shown on your bank statement. For one account in my data, I actually do try to do that.
