[GNC] small annoyance with 3.7
Hi, I just installed gnucash 3.7 from the unstable repository for debian. It works as expected, but for one thing. If I highlight an entry I can't move back to the bottom of the register without first making a change (any change, with or without reversing it) to the entry. In previous versions the enter key or the "Record current transaction" button would be enough to return to a blank entry. Thanks for continuing development on this great program that I have used for more than 15 years. -- Bert Riding rerid...@xmission.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.

(Used to check cash flow) When setting up a scheduled transaction (or later, by editing it) you can choose how far in advance to trigger the transaction. For instance, if you want the month's scheduled entries to all show up on the 1st of the month, set up the things scheduled for the 5th to trigger five days in advance, the things scheduled for the 20th to trigger 20 days in advance, and so on. Then run Actions -->Scheduled Transactions-->Since Last Run..., any time after midnight, to create the entries for the month. For variable transactions you can estimate the amount to a close approximation, easily corrected when you get the bill. A thick blue line will separate past from future in the register. There is great flexibility in how far in advance you want to enter any scheduled transaction. -- Bert Riding rerid...@xmission.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] gnucash on debian problem
Debian unstable here, with 3.2 installed. I find that the files under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gnucash/gnucash, which seem to be what your computer is complaining about, are installed by the gnucash package. Do those libraries exist? Are the permissions correct? Are your package files corrupted somehow? You could try to erase the package from /var/cache/apt/archive and download it again. Is your disk full? Otherwise it's a mystery to me.

Re: [GNC] Decimal separator on Gnucash 3.2 Mac
I don't know about Macs, but the POSIX locale categories for this are LC_MONETARY for how monetary quantities are shown, and LC_NUMERIC for other numbers, defining decimal and thousands seperators among other things.

In linux I name my gnucash account file whatever I want to name it, even without the .gnucash extension, then start gnucash and open that file. Thereafter it is the file that is opened when I start the program. All those .log and .LCK files are backups and lock files and need not concern you unless you need to recover something lost.
