Re: [GNC] Uninstall GC

2019-03-07 Thread ref...@gmx.net
   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.

 -do I NEED to uninstall Gnucash?
 If so

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? Apart from
   gnucash user?

   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 :)

 I'm pretty busy the rest of this month, but will do more digging
 into this in
 March.
