Re: [GNC] GnuCash with Interactive Brokers
Understood. My point was more around whether there is a specific field in the GnuCash securities setup which if matched with a specific field in the OFX xml would result in the manual click-based becoming unnecessary? I have dozens of bonds in the portfolio which are painful to manually match. But they all have unique identifiers (CUSIPs and IBKR contract ids) which I wish GnuCash could leverage in the matching stage. As of now it does not seem to attempt any type of best guess when a new security is being imported from the OFX. Thanks, Ken > On 7 Feb 2024, at 02:57, Kalpesh Patel wrote: > > Yap, one time deal.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash with Interactive Brokers
Thanks. This can be a very tedious process, especially where there might be dozens of securities to match one by one through a gui that requires many clicks through different drop down lists. It would be nice if there was a way to ensure much better matching suggestions and then the user simply needs to click to accept (in most instances). I’ll continue to experiment with importing IBKR ofx transactions into a dummy test file. Thanks for the guidance so far. On 6 Feb 2024, at 13:21, Steve Butler wrote: That is true for the first time.

Re: [GNC] MacOS - could not complete critical test of libdbi
I have downloaded DB Browser for Sqlite and have been trying different combinations of opening the file and remounting the drive and/or rebooting the system. As best as I can tell, after I open and close the file in Gnucash once, I cannot then re-open it with Gnucash nor DBBrowser. It seems the first time I open the file in Gnucash causes there to be a lock. I need to reboot the machine to open it again. I’ll experiment more but any ideas are welcome.

[GNC] MacOS - could not complete critical test of libdbi
Hi, I am a new user of MacOS having recently bought a MacBook Air (after many years of being a Gnucash user on Windows and Linux). I was able to open my existing GnuCash file and add some transactions. But after closing GnuCash and trying to re-open the file I get the following error: GnuCash could not complete a critical test for the presence of a bug in the "libdbi" library. This may be caused by a permissions misconfiguration of your SQL database. Please see https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645216 for more information. This looks like a very old bug that was resolved long ago. I see comment #19 suggests to copy the file but that did not work for me. Any other advice I should consider? My system is: MacOS Monterey version 12.5.

Re: [GNC] Why does an Equity account have to be of Currency type?
Hi Michael, I agree - I could change the definition of $ for the purposes of the Robinson Crusoe case. But let me ask the question a different way: It seems that when trying to create an account of type Asset, Bank, Cash, Credit Card, Liability, A/Receivable, A/Payable, Equity selecting the denominated "Security/currency" only allows the user to select a Currency Type. For account types Stock and Mutual Fund the "Security/currency" is only allowed to be of a Non-Currency Type. Why is that restriction necessary? Why can't you have a Bank account that is denominated in silver taels*? Or a cash account denominated in "Disney Dollars"? Or contribute Equity to a business in the form of yards of lumber? Perhaps the answer is to simply use a "Stock" account type for my asset examples? But there is no workaround for the equity example. And it seems like an artificial limitation within the software - unless I am missing the reason this should not be permitted (either from an software implementation or accounting perspective). Thanks, Ken * Yes, I could use this ISO currency XAG but that price typically refers to troy ounces and it might be that I want to mark the bid price of a silver savings account at a premium or discount to the XAG price. P.S. For some reason I am not receiving replies direct to my email so I am copying and pasting from the GnuCash archive below.

Re: [GNC] Why does the balance sheet report list positions with zero balances?
Hi Derek, Who are the experts in terms of the report coding/development? Is it worth me trying to learn the report coding language and trying to fix this myself? Or are there plans to migrate the report coding to a different language (like SQL) in which case I should focus my efforts elsewhere?

Please file a bug report in Bugzilla and attach the data file, screen shot, and this email exchange. Thanks, -derek On Sun, February 20, 2022 7:48 am, km22 wrote: Thanks Derek.

[GNC] Why does the balance sheet report list positions with zero balances?
Hi, Following up on a post made here: https://money.stackexchange.com/questions/146779/gnucash-why-does-the-balance-sheet-report-list-positions-with-zero-balances It reads: I am using GnuCash 4.8. I have opened the "Balance Sheet" report and in Options deselected "Include accounts with zero total balances". I have a brokerage account that hold some stocks currently but has also held other stocks previously. The report is showing the previous stocks with a zero position. The expected behavior would be for the stocks with no holdings to not be displayed. Why is the report showing stocks with zero holdings - and how can I fix this? Attached is a simple example file. In the screenshot below you can see I have de-selected to "Include accounts with zero total balances" but the example security "UST1" still appears in the balance sheet with zero position size. How do I get the balance sheet report to not show securities with no position?

Re: [GNC] Convincing the balance sheet report to not show sold stocks...
I am also having this issue. I have a brokerage account and for each stock or bond I have set up a security and a "stock" account type for that security. Many of the positions have long been closed and reflect a zero balance in the register. However the "Balance Sheet" report is showing the row with 0 position despite me deselecting the option "Include accounts with zero total balances". I have chosen to select "Levels of subaccounts" to 4. When I change this number to 6 (the maximum) then some of the accounts with zero balances are no longer displayed (while some accounts more than 6 levels deep are still displayed with the zero balance). I therefore suspect the issue has to do with how the report chooses to show accounts that are deeper than the "Levels of subaccounts" selected. It would be nice if this issue could be fixed in the report logic. (I have no idea how to try to do this myself.) Thanks, Ken Maybe you're not managing your entries so that there is no residual value after all the shares are sold. The way I handle my capital gains/losses the stock asset accounts have no residual value.

[GNC] Lost all settings after Flatpak update
Hi, I am a Debian user and install Gnucash using Flatpak. I think Flatpak is setup to update automatically and the latest version of Gnucash seems to have been installed as of March 28th. When I started Gnucash I was presented with the typical popup tips and dialogs to set up a new user file from scratch. The system did not remember any of my recently used files. When I opened a recent gnucash file it loaded but all my settings are gone. For instance my tabs are all horizontal at the top of the screen rather than vertically to the left. Do you know whether it is normal for Flatpak updates to case user settings to be lost? Is there a way to restore my previous settings?

Re: [GNC] How to install Gnucash 3.8 on Debian 10 "buster"?
As a follow up I have been running Gnucash 3.8 from the Debian testing repo for a few months now. I recently tried to update but get these results: [Quote1] $ sudo apt list --upgradable ... gnucash-common/testing 1:3.10-1 all [upgradable from: 1:3.8b-1] gnucash/testing 1:3.10-1 amd64 [upgradable from: 1:3.8b-1+b1] ... [/Quote1] [Quote2] $ sudo apt install gnucash Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: gnucash : Depends: libpython3.8 (>= 3.8.2) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [/Quote2] Question: Is it normal for gnucash to change its Python version (here to version 3.8) within a maintenance update (here to gnucash version 3.10)? I ask because I am hesitant to update my python version for fear of breaking my system - but just wanted to highlight whether this increase in Python version is expected within the Gnucash version guidelines?

P.S. I believe this is the bug in 3.4: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797046 It is too bad there isn't a way for Debian's stable release to get bug fixes so that the stable version in the repo remains the most reliable version.

[GNC] Custom Reports in GnuCash 3.x on Windows
Hi GnuCash Community, Is the wiki on Custom Reports (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports) up-to-date for GnuCash version 3.x series? I tried making custom reports back in the 2.6 series and was able to load my custom report saved to C:\Users\Ken\.gnucash. I am revisiting this now but cannot seem to get my report to load in the 3.x series. Note: I have a config.user file with the line (load (gnc-build-userdata-path "balsheet-egken.scm")) in it -- but I cannot tell whether this file is being parsed and/or whether the report is being loaded. Please advise if anything has changed which makes the wiki no longer relevant for the 3.x version or any tips on how I can debug this on Windows.

Gnucash 3.0 Microsoft Security Essentials Threat Detected
Hi, When I try to download Gnucash 3.0 I get a Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) threat detection which then deletes the file. Screenshot: Is there a way for the developers to have this file correctly categorized/assessed by MSE? It is worrying to see these pop-ups (and probably the first time I have seen one and hence why I want to be very careful.) What is the best way for a user to self-assess (i.e. confirm the file is not a real threat) and proceed with the download/installation?

Reports with Month-end rather that Month-start
Hi Gnucash community, I want to start editing -- and eventually creating -- my own reports and figures. I think one place for me to start learning is by playing with some existing report settings -- such as the report date functionality. Currently when I run a report with a "monthly" period I get the 1st day of each month. How could I edit the report settings so I get the last day of each month instead? (I am a Windows 7 user if that makes a difference on where to find/edit files.)
