Re: [GNC] Closing and reopening Gnucash

[Cheryl Wheeler via gnucash-user]

Richard,

It sounds as though you may be opening the latest backup file instead of 
your main data file. The data file should be named something like 
RichardsData.gnucash (or whatever you named it). The backup filenames 
will contain strings of numbers, which are date stamps indicating when 
they were saved, something like RichardsData.gnucash.20180731154137.gnucash.


If that is what you have been doing, then probably your original data 
file does not have all of your data, because you have been saving new 
data into your backup files. I suggest the following:


 - open your last-opened file (as Adrien says, you can do that just by 
launching the GnuCash application)
 - use the menu options File -> Save As to save the file under the 
original data filename
 - in future, open the file with that original filename.gnucash only, 
unless you know that you need to do something with a backup file for 
some reason. You can do this by launching GnuCash, which will open the 
last-opened data file automatically.
 - to reduce confusion, you may want to delete some of your old backup 
files, and maybe limit the number of days that they are saved, if you 
haven't already done that.


Hope that helps.

When I want to reopen Gnucash the next day I have to scroll through the
files to try to pick out the latest file. T trid closing with the Quit
at the bottom of the page and also tried to Save as but they always have
to scroll through to open the latest file. Some of the files names are
so long that I cannot tell if they are log fills. and I have to guess
until I find the last one.

Thank you for any help as this is a time killer when I am in a hurry.

Re: budgeting is very slow

[Cheryl Wheeler via gnucash-user]

Hi, Dave,

Regarding the budget display issue, I have had some success by doing the 
following:


- drag the separator for the first column to where you think it should be
- close the budget tab
- re-open the budget tab
- usually, all columns display properly

Sadly, this does not survive a restart of gnucash, so you have to do it 
every time you use the budget. It's a pain, but better than nothing.

Hi.

  


* The budgeting window on GnuCash 2.6.18 is extremely slow. Every step takes
several seconds. It's quite frustrating to add numbers to it or makes
adjustments.

  


* I have 12 months in my budget. The last two budgets always extend off the
screen to the right.  I can't view all the months plus TOTALS on the same
screen. I try to drag the first column to the left but it moves only 2 mm's.
How do I format the screen so I can see all of it at once.  It neither fits
on my 14 inch laptop screen not on my external monitor which is quite wide.

  


I wish the budgeting worked better.

  


Dave

Scheduled Transactions, Variables and Formulas

[Cheryl Wheeler]

I am playing with variables and formulas in scheduled transactions. I 
created a test SX using the example shown here 
(https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Scheduled_Transactions#Bank_Account_Interest). 
When I tried to save the SX, GnuCash gave me an error message saying 
that it couldn't parse the formula. After some experimentation, I found 
that the problem seems to be the use of the variable "i" when passed as 
a parameter to the function "computeInterestIncrement". If I change i to 
a numeral, then the formula parses; if I use i alone (no function call), 
it parses.


The example in the wiki is from 2005. Assuming that it once worked, have 
there been intentional changes such that it is no longer expected to 
work, or would this be a bug? I am using GnuCash 2.6.15 on Windows 7.
