Re: [GNC] Uninstall GC
If you installed from source, you need to uninstall, yes. Otherwise you have a potential mess. Where did you install into? I keep all programmes I compile myself under /usr/local/ which keeps it clean and easy to separate out if necessary. Peter Sent from my mobile. Please forgive shortness, typos and weird autocorrects.

Re: [GNC] UK VAT and "Making Tax Digital"
Never built gnucash but I am certainly comfortable trying. Christopher, if I hang around for a while as beta tester for this feature set, would you want me to subscribe somewhere else?

Original Message Subject: Re: [GNC] UK VAT and "Making Tax Digital" From: Christopher Lam To: ref...@gmx.net CC: "Maf. King" ,GnuCash users group To all interested in beta-testing CSV export, for now I think it's safest to export CSV in carefully selected reports, because all reports do tables differently. After version 3.5 is out of the door (in a couple months) I'll provide some customized transaction.scm and income-gst-statement.scm which can export CSV, and could be finalised for 3.6 due mid-year. The current iteration of these reports depend heavily upon the supporting files which are undergoing heavy maintenance, and may not work for those using 3.4 releases. Alternatively anyone comfortable buildling from maint can beta test now :) C On Tue, 19 Feb 2019 at 19:42, [1]ref...@gmx.net <[2]ref...@gmx.net> wrote: I am struggling to.understand at the moment the reporting language, which I understand is a lisp variant.

There is a clear workflow to export from GC to Calc and munge the totals there so it isn't especially critical, despite the first digital filings being due early August. But it seems to me that if a new workflow can be figured out in time, why tweak the old way first then change a quarter or two later? I'm pretty busy the rest of this month, but will do more digging into this in March.
