Re: [GNC] How to fix zero-length register column?
Thanks, David. Somehow I never stumbled across the double-click trick. It resizes to the smaller of the header text or the column contents, so it still makes "Tot Withdrawal" unnecessarily wide, and for some reason on Description it pushes the right-most parts out of the window, introducing a horizontal scroll bar. I think it must assume the window is full screen instead of using the actual window size. But it reduces it to only a couple of columns I need to manually resize, so it's an improvement. Now if only it would set all registers at once (at least as an option) and not change them after I set them. Hey, I can dream. Ron On 2021-12-12 13:14, David H wrote: Ron, See Gyle's email to fix your issue. A couple of things to note - it is generally easiest to double click the column header to resize a column to an appropriate size assuming you don't have any really long column contents and always adjust the "Description" column last as it's set to automatically fill the remaining space but if you've adjusted other column widths you need to just click and hold on the right side Description column header delimiter and just move it a little bit left or right and let it go to get it to recognise your adjusted other columns.

Re: [GNC] How to fix zero-length register column?
Thanks, Gyle. I had noticed the double line, and tried several times unsuccessfully (another aside, why do they have to make the grab zones so small, apparently 1 pixel wide, below the resolution of the trackpad, mouse or trackball I have?). I decided to give it one more shot, and wouldn't you know, this time it worked. Ron On 2021-12-12 12:48, Gyle McCollam wrote: Ron, I tried duplicating your issue. When I tried to reduce the Reconcile Column to a zero width I noticed it appeared to have a double line or at least a darker line. If you mouse over very carefully from the right side and as soon as you see the doubled headed arrow, click and drag to the right, it should restore the column to where you can double click to automatically resize the column. It may take several tries, but it does work.

[GNC] Multi-select on import - OSX
Thank you for all the hard work maintaining and developing Gnucash. I expect running an open source project can feel thankless at times. The effort is greatly appreciated. I have a quick question about the new multi-select on import feature. On OSX, the default right-click is CTRL-tap, which is also one of the multi-select options in the import dialog, When I make a multi selection (say, SHIFT-tap) and then CTRL-tap it does not bring up the account select dialog. Instead, it just unselects the entries in the multi-select except the one under the pointer and brings up the account select dialog for the single entry. Am I missing something obvious here?

[GNC] Fwd: Assets don't display in CasgFlow report
Hi, GnuCash newbie here, sorry if the answer to my question is obvious. I'm using version 2.6.12 When I create a Cash Flow report, Money In & Money Out seems to display properly but the Assets don't or better, the report doesn't show an amount behind the account name. In the report options, I selected Account Display Depth 3 (instead of 2) and if I click onto the account names (the links) it takes me correctly to the corresponding account with all transactions but still, no balance for the accounting period shows up why is this? In accounts, I have some "Bank"-Type accounts under "Asset". My assets kind of look like (the account Type is in []): Assets [Asset] Deposits in Can banks/instit - Can currency [Asset] account1 [Bank] account2 [Bank] Deposit in Can banks/instit - Foreign currency account1 (USD) [Bank] account2 (USD) [Bank] why would this not work as expected and show up in the report accordingly? And more importantly, how can I make my assets' balances show up? Thanks a lot!

Re: [GNC] report: group account activity by accounting period instead of by month
Thanks, guys! I'm a GnuCash newbie regarding the creation of reports & sorting and stuff. I think setting primary to Date by Month and Secondary to Date by year gives me what I needed.

[GNC] Counter formats not saving
I am using Gnucash 3.4 on OSX 10.14.2. I am creating a new book and trying to set up the invoice counter to use I-%05li as the format. If I click Apply and switch to another tab and back, the new format appears as it should in the Invoice Number Format text field. But if I click OK, the field is cleared. Saving the file after clicking OK makes no difference. The format string disappears. None of the other formats (vendor, bill, order, employee etc) save either. Any suggestions on how to get this working are greatly appreciated.

Re: [GNC] help setting accounts to track contributions
I suggest you don't do this unless you both suffer from OCD. It will lead to disharmony and discord because no matter how hard you try there is never true "equality" in any relationship. Instead, live, love, enjoy and support each other. Do things together and don't worry about who's wallet it comes from. Do something every day to show your partner how much you appreciate the fact they are in your life, and don't expect them to pay half. At the end of your life where the money came from won't be important, but if you make it important now it will kill the relationship. If you insist on doing this, then stick to the major fixed expenses like rent/mortgage and insurance. And then, prepare to be flexible on these targets because life will intervene and there will be times when you or your partner will not be able to meet them, and trying to reduce these events to a spreadsheet or financial program will only make bad situations more toxic. Sure, your partner needs to contribute to the other, variable expenses. And you need to talk about it if you don't feel they are doing their part. This will be a continuing and recurring process. But if you start trying to reduce those things to a fixed mathematical construct then you will find yourself on the road to frustration. I will give you just one example: Grocery budget. Sure, you can set a figure and stipulate that each partner pays 50% (or a percentage based upon respective incomes...but on that path lies madness). But what if you eat 7 eggs out of the dozen? Or your partner drinks three glasses of wine to your one? Do you then go back and recalculate the value of "contributing equally"? What if your tracking of these things has greater granularity than your partner's? If you insist on reducing every household expenditure to a set distribution pattern your partnership becomes a business. Is that what you want out of a personal relationship?

Discover Card Working
There was a post earlier this week about downloading Discover Card. I was able to get it working: You first have to manually add the account in aqbanking setup. Discover won't automatically download the account list. When you set up the connection use 'Discover Card Account Center' for ORG and '9625' for FID. I got those values from my Quicken log. After that it worked.

Using Online Banking features
I've just set up GnuCash (Linux). I have all my accounts set up (a lot of work). I have moved over all the data from Quicken (a lot more work) and everything balances. I have gone through the online banking setup and can connect to my bank just fine. The setup recognized the three accounts I have this bank and I associated them to the corresponding GnuCash accounts. But I'm excited and confused. It seems there is quite a bit of information about setting up online banking but hardly anything on how to actually use it. When I read GnuCash has online banking my expectation is that it would work similar to Quicken? So here I am just starting to use GnuCash: 1) Now I want to send several bill payments to the bank. With Q, I setup the online payees first and then just put 'send' in the check number to make a payment. What do I do in GnuCash? How do I make payments? 2) I have three separate accounts at the same bank. With Q, I just just click on "Ron's Bank". It then downloads all the transactions and sends all the payments for all three accounts at one time. How do I do that with GnuCash? 3) I have several scheduled online payments set up in Q. I set it up once and then every month it automatically pays the same amount on the scheduled date. I don't have to do anything else. How do I do that with GnuCash? I'd appreciate some help on how to use these online features.

Reports crashing
With version 2.6.17 and up to 2.6.19, the Reports crash whenever I try to generate any report. It seems a report actually is generated as an html report and residing in \user\app data\local\temp but GnuCash does not launch a browser and GnuCash itself crashes. I am using data from 2.6.12 and it works fine up to and including 2.6.16. I have tried on two computers with Win 10 Home and Win 10 Pro. I have tried changing the default system browser to IE, Edge and FireFox. I have also tried removing GnuCash completely, cleaning the registry with CCleaner, and manually editing through regedit to remove all traces of GnuCash, then rebooting and reinstalling 2.6.17.
