I just updated from my Gnucash 2.6 to 4.9. Where can I find the update instruction for 4.9? I know the basic is same as the old 2.6. I kept two set of account on Gnucash, sometime I can go to the file to switch account, but sometime when I switch, it said " the file xx.Guncash file could not be found, the file is in the history list, do you want to remove it?” I never remove the file. I want to find out what did I do wrong? I am using MOS Catelina 10.15.7 Thanks for the advise as always.

[GNC] Loss one of my file
Hello, I am a old Gnucash user since 2015, I just recently upgraded from 2.6 to 3.11 then to 4.9., and my IMac OS to Catalina 10.15.7. I thought after the upgrade everything was working fine. I kept two sets of accounting date under different name ( let’s said #1 and #2) They both works fine after the upgrade. But now all the sudden, I can’t find one of the date file, everything Gnucash file I open is the same set of date (#1) but I can't find the #2 file. Even one the earlier file in my back up time machine (under the name of #2) opens to the date of my #1 file. so where did my #2 date goes??? Is it lost forever?? is it any way to recover? Any suggestions will be great appreciated.

[GNC] Split transaction
I am going to try one more time before I give up regarding the split transaction. Let’s say last month I paid from my checking account a credit card balance of $500.00, the credit card charge was $200 for grocery, $300.00 for two chairs. So I recorded a split transaction of debit grocery $200.00 and furniture - 2 chairs $300.00. In the description column, I put "pay credit card” for the parent split account , I put grocery on description column of the sub grocery account, and put the “2 chairs” on the description column for the furniture sub account. This month I paid my credit card balance of $700.00, grocery 200.00 and Furniture- a bed for $500.00. I recorded another split transaction same as last one except I put “ bed” in the description column of the sub account furniture for $500.00. Here is my problem, on my furniture account, on the description column only show pay credit card, did not show 2 chairs or a bed. What can I do to make the description to show up on the account? ___ 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-user Digest, Vol 226, Issue 48
Will, Thank you very much for your detail instruction. I will update my Gnucash to 3, and then to 4, and then to 4.9 as you instructed before I replace my computer. The printing of certain account ledge page works fine while follow your instruction. Thanks again. Now I have another problem. when I use split transaction, for example, I paid from my checking account of $300.00 to a credit card company for two transaction charged in the credit card. one is grocery of $50.00 another one is a chair for $250.00, so I did the split transaction of grocery and furniture account. after I recorded the split transaction, the furniture account shows 250.00 but did not show it is for a chair. Did I do something wrong? why on the split transaction it shows a chair but not on the furniture account ledge?

[GNC] couple questions
Hello, I have couple questions. I started using Gnucash in 2015 to keep basic financial record of a trust account. I am using Gnucash 2.6.18 (I know it is old version), and my mac operation system is 10.14.6. My computer is about 9 years old. Although everything is working fine now, but I know I need to upgrade my computer soon. When I up grade my computer, I will download the newest version of Gnucash. How can I transfer all the data to the newer version of Gnucash?? I would like to get a step by step instruction so I wouldn’t loss my old data. My second question is there anyway to print the detail page of certain account ? For example, when I open my bank account page, it shows the list date of deposit or withdraw, description, amount and balance line by line, Can I print it for my paper record? Thanks for the help.
