[GNC] Download Intel 3.8-3 will start shortly
I'm currently using version 3.7 and trying to upgrade to 3.8-3 but when I reach the download page on Source Forge, I get a message "Your download will start shortly" but it does not do so? I'm on MAC OS Catalina 10.15.2 using Chrome browser - any advice or guidance would be much appreciated.

Re: Year end issues
Thanks Ken I wrote a reply before reading yours! The file is very large and unwieldy already - are there any limits on the file size? One of the impacts is also that each time I update the file at least one copy is made - the folder on my MAC for December grew to >130MB.

Re: Year end issues
Thanks David Yes but as it’s a double entry system, the net effect of deleting a year’s worth of transactions in an account where close book has been applied should be nil so the Checking account should not be effected? Am I missing something? It could be a bit laborious deleting all these transactions but if the net effect is zero I should be ok. Perhaps I’ll give it a try with a couple of accounts + report back.

Year end issues
Hi there I have used GNU Cash for a number of years to monitor my personal finances. I have just run the Tools > Close book function to clear down all my expense & income account balances as at 31/12/17 however I seem to have transactions in all of these accounts going back, in some cases, to 2009/2010. Can someone please advise me if there is a straightforward mechanism to delete all transactions in these accounts - say, up to and including 31/12/2016 as I am concerned the file, currently at around 1.3MB, will become unwieldy and unmanageable.

Re: GNU Cash version for Mac OSX
Apologies - a re-install of 2.6.18 and a reboot of the MAC solved this for me.

GNU Cash version for Mac OSX
Hello there I am a lantern user of GNU Cash - for personal finances only - initially on Linux (Ubuntu) and more recently on MAC OSX. My current version of MAC OSX is El Capitan 10.11.6 - I have been unable to upgrade any further due to a hardware issue on my 5 year old MAC Book Air! I was running GNU Cash 2.6.16 (?) since March of this year but this morning it failed to load with the message "Gnwucash cannot be opened because of a problem" and suggesting that I check with the developer to make sure Gnucash works with this version of OS X. I have since downloaded 2.6.18 and received the same message. GNUCash was working perfectly a couple of days ago - I use it very regularly, particularly to record any cash transactions associated with a role as treasurer of a small golf society. The file currently in use is called GNUC-1710.gnucash and is over 1.3MB on disc. Any thoughts or comments would be gratefully received.
