Re: [GNC] Saved reports in GNUCash 5.x

My post came through twice, so I;ll stick to the original one here ...

The above addresses the core of the problem...  It's weird that I could 
not find this simple reference in the wiki though.


In addition to this:

I have a whole number of custom invoice templates defined for different 
companies and other entities, but it seems that GC 5.x strips away most 
of these and only leaves 2 of them.  Is that by design or is it a bug?


If I have to recreate the templates, then so be it, but it took quite a 
bit of work to fine-tune them...


thanks again

Roland

Thanks, David.  I put my old v4 "saved-reports-2.8" file in there, 
changed the user rights to my actual user, but GC doesn't pickup my 
custom templates from there.


Does the file need to be converted somehow first?

Re: [GNC] Import saved-reports from 4.x

[Roland Giesler via gnucash-user]

Apologies for the double post!  I received repeated responses from the 
mailing list that said my address is not validated...  so after a few 
days I posted again.


And promptly now both messages are on the list!

Roland,

You already have a thread posted on this, no need to repost to get an 
answer.


I saw your previous post, but didn't reply yet since I don't use the 
flatpak and was going to leave this for others who do.


However, I guess I can at least ask for clarification concerning:

"I don't see the custom reports when I open an invoice."

Where exactly are you expecting to see them when opening an invoice?

Custom Saved Reports are in Reports > Saved Report Configurations.

Are yours not there?

*note, the proper file name is:

saved-reports-2.8

NOT

saved_reports-2.8

(hyphen, not underscore)

I'm not sure if your post has a typo there or if your file is misnamed.

Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] How to upgrade to 5.1 in Ubuntu

[Roland Giesler via gnucash-user]

Thanks, I have some experience with flatpak, albeit some of of it 
negative.  I suppose I should uninstall my apt installed version 4.8 
first first then, correct?

Hello Roland!

To being able to keep GnuCash up to date, you should install a flatpak
version. The wiki tells you how to do that.
GnuCash wiki flatpak German:

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/De/Flatpak

My preferred way is to download the flatpak package from the GnuCash
build-server.
GnuCash build-server GnuCash 5.1 (release) flatpak:

https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak/stable/gnucash-stable-C5.1-D5.1.flatpakref 



To quickly get bug corrected nightly flatpaks, you can choose one of the
other ones in:

https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak/stable/

E. g. the lastest nightly build GnuCash 5.1-14:

https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak/stable/gnucash-stable-C5.1-14-g73337cff5a-D5.1.flatpakref 



The tarball only holds the source code, so you have to compile it by
yourself on your system. Can be done, but is a lot more cumbersome. 
BTDT...


HTH! Regards

Apologies for the duplicate, I received a message from the list that my

It seems it was a temporary error.

[GNC] The custom invoice problem

[Roland Giesler via gnucash-user]

Hi all,

Since 2016 (and probably before that), there are have been questions 
about the lack of reasonably accessible tools for small business users 
to create invoices that contain the company logo and a customised layout 
for a particular setting.


https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2016-June/065750.html
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2022-January/099232.html

I sure there are many more of these and they have been raised years ago 
already.


A software developer of a someone seasoned in the internals of eguile 
and css is probably able to hack something together, but an ordinary 
user (albeit somewhat technically proficient in css, html and some 
scripting languages) has little chance of addressing this issue.


Questions I have are:

1. Do people in other parts of the world not want to send professional 
looking invoice to their clients?  Are they even using GNUCash for 
invoicing?  This seems like a core feature of GNUCash that is just being 
ignored. (2016 is 7 years ago!)


2. The GNUCash roadmap pages  say 
regarding Scheme: /"Scheme is impenetrable to most programmers. 
Expecting users to be able to write reports in Scheme is completely 
unreasonable."/  This is true, but the general usability of GNUCash 
reports must be expanded so that any report can be selected as the 
default for a particular feature (like invoicing). /*Surely this is a 
core requirement, is it not?*/ If we have the feature to add a menu 
option , 
then it could be a fairly trivial matter for a developer to add the 
functionality to select a saved report (or some customised invoice) as 
the default when the "print invoice" button is pressed?


3. Is there some bounty system where one could contribute to speed up 
this feature?


I'm a huge FOSS fan and if there is some way in which I could help to 
get this implemented, please let me know!


regards

Roland
