Re: [GNC] Default Invoice Config
When I do Edit > Style Sheets and then select Head or Tail and click Edit I get HTML Style Sheet Properties. There I have 5 panes where I can choose Colors, Fonts, General, Image, and Tables. Where do I put in custom CSS? I want to change some properties that are not listed on any of these panes. I see what you mean about the config now. So the procedure is create the config, save it, then for each invoice: open config, search for invoice, select invoice. Tedious but at least it works. - Axel — Axel Essbaum a...@essbaum.com > On 4 Jan 2020, at 12:53, Adrien Monteleone > wrote: > > The first part of my previous reply sends you to Edit > Style Sheets > > There is a custom CSS entry there.

Re: [GNC] Default Invoice Config
Hi Adrien, Blanking the invoice selection in General just gives me a blank page instead of the old Invoice #001. And I ask again, where in a style sheet can I add my own CSS? There is a way to do this in a configuration, but a configuration apparently now only applies to a single invoice (can't be re-applied to other invoices).

Re: [GNC] Default Invoice Config
Actually, I see that reusing the Default configuration actually just reproduces the exact invoice I used when creating the configuration! Meaning, I posted invoice #001, did "Print Invoice", then clicked options. Then I edited the options: put in my company logo, put my bank payment info into the "Extra Notes" field, etc. Then I did "Save Config". Then I did "Print Invoice" on invoice #002 and selected the above saved configuration. Which gives me back invoice #001. How can I save the options like company logo, "Extra Notes" field, etc. and have it automatically applied to all printed invoices? Barring that, can I go back to 3.6?

[GNC] Default Invoice Config
In GNC 3.6 (macOS Mojave) I created a configuration for invoices, saved it under the name "Default", and then every invoice I printed (to a PDF file) automatically adopted this configuration. In 3.7 this appears to no longer work. I have to manually open the configurations listing and select the Default configuration for every invoice. Tedious, obviously. Anyone know what's changed?

Manually widening the date field applies only to that invoice, and only as long as the invoice's tab is open. If I close the invoice's tab and reopen I get a narrow date fields again.

Re: [GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow
I agree - ideally we could control which columns are used in invoices. I never use most of them - they are just a waste of space. As an alternative being able to set initial column width (in pixels, or percent, etc.) would be a workaround as we could set columns to 0 or 1 if they are not used, and then also set the date field to start wide enough to contain the widget + date. - Axel — Axel Essbaum a...@essbaum.com > On 12 Dec 2019, at 18:16, Adrien Monteleone > wrote: > > Double-clicking a column header sizes it to fit the contents.

Re: [GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow
Hi Greg, Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: [GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow
Trying again with attachment at the very end. GC retains the column width for each invoice over the life of that invoice. The issue is that new invoices don't inherit any of this - they all start with a narrow date field. See at the bottom (I hope). I can't tell if the date of the bottom line is 01.12.2019 or 11.12 or 21.12, etc. without clicking on the calendar selector. So I widen the Date field, and then shrink some other field to remove the created horizontal scrollbar. For every invoice I create.

[GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow
Hi All, MacOS Mojave, GnuCash 3.6. Pictures say it all (hope this list allows attachments!) When I create a new invoice the date field opens too narrow to contain a date + v icon. This means as I populate the invoice I can never see the whole date on the bottom line. I get around this by dragging the date field wider, which introduces a bottom scrollbar into the window. Then I slide Tax Table narrower to get rid of the scrollbar. Any way I can have invoices open with a wider date field from the start?

[GNC] Navigate to next Invoice
(Sorry, me again). In GC 3.6 on a Mac how do I select the previous or next open tab? Meaning, if I have multiple invoices open for edit and have the invoice right-most on the screen selected, how do I select the next one to the right, which is off the screen? In 2.4 this was achieved by clicking the tab at the top of the invoice and then just using the left and right arrows to navigate backward and forward through the list of all open tabs. This navigation has apparently been rebound in 3.6 but I can't figure out to what! (Is there a list of all GC keyboard shortcuts somewhere?)

[GNC] Find Invoice display issue
Hi All, In GC 3.6 for Mac when I open the Find Invoice window and run a search, the results are displayed in a small bottom portion of the window (enough for only 8 invoices to be visible) and the upper larger portion of the window is blank. Dragging the window bigger just expands the blank upper space. I must be missing some way to drag the results region larger...? (back in 2.4 the results defaulted to fill the window) Can someone tell me what edge I should be dragging? Or is this a bug? (or intended??) Thanks :-) - Axel — Axel Essbaum a...@essbaum.com ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Decimal points messed up
Also, just to be clear, after setting: defaults write -app /Applications/Gnucash.app AppleLocale 'en_GB.UTF-8’ I get the right thousands separator and decimal, but the currency shows as SFr. despite setting currency in GnuCash / Prefs / Accounts and Reports to CHF. Not sure if this gives some insight into the problem, that GC's own prefs are being ignored. GC actually sticks to SFr. no matter what I change AppleLocale OR the macOS UI prefs to. Where is it getting SFr. ?? - Axel -- Axel Essbaum a...@essbaum.com ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Rather, I edited the default Style Sheet and /Applications/Gnucash/Contents/Resources/share/gnucash/guile-modules/gnucash/report/invoice.scm such that all I had to do was click "Print Invoice" to get what I needed. I think you are now suggesting I create a Report for each invoice I want to print, which is many more steps. I see also that the new invoice layout is a bit problematic for me. Where before I had "CHF 390.00" I now have "SFr.390.00" (no space between currency and value). Also, the cells in the printed table have very little space to the cell borders.

[GNC] Decimal points messed up
Hi All, Longtime Mac GC user, still running my original 2.4.11 install from… 10 years ago? I am now looking at upgrading to 3.6 and am encountering a problem with the "grouping" character and decimal points being transposed. I am using GC with CHF (I am in Switzerland), but my computer is set up in English. In System Prefs > Langauge and Region I have Region = Switzerland. On that pane in Advanced I have Number Separator Grouping = ' and decimal = . Currency is CHF and Currency Grouping = ' and decimal = . In GC Prefs I have Locale = CHF (Swiss Franc). But two thousand CHF, which I would expect to see as CHF 2'000.00 is actually displayed SFr. 2.000,00. I can live with SFr. but I can't have a decimal point used for grouping. Anyone have any ideas what I can adjust to fix this?
