Re: [GNC] CSV transaction import settings
Geoff,
I finally found time to fire up the other computer that has the CSV import
settings for that data file and the needed GCM file. I didn't want the
rest of the settings copied to the other computer, so I just copied out the
three import configurations and pasted them into the GCM in the other
computer. Then I found them when I tried to import CSV files from those
financial institutions.
Again, thanks for your help.

Re: [GNC] CSV transaction import settings
Thanks Geoff. Looks like there will be an editing task to get that into
the computer that doesn't have it.

Re: [GNC] CSV transaction import settings
Hi David
On Windows 10**, there is a directory called:
C:\Users\{YOUR_NAME}\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash\books\
Which contains a file for each set of books called:
{BOOK_NAME}.gnucash.gcm
In that file, there are, inter alia, sections for your saved CSV Import
configurations that look like this:
[Import csv,transaction - {BLAH BLAH}]
Name={BLAH BLAH}
SkipStartLines=1
SkipEndLines=0
SkipAltLines=false
CsvFormat=true
Separators=,
DateFormat=1
CurrencyFormat=0
Encoding=UTF-8
MultiSplit=true
ColumnTypes=Date;Num;Description;Transaction
Commodity;Action;Account;Deposit;Price;
** So, on Linux you will need to find that file using something like this:
sudo find / -name {BOOK_NAME}.gnucash.gcm -print
Hope this helps.
Regards
Geoff

Re: [GNC] CSV transaction import settings
Thank you, I did (I actually read the faq before calling for help). The data is not going to the location shown in 'About', it's going to the directory from which the installer was run. Very puzzling. Thre were a couple of entries in the registry which had a '/' (forward slash) in the path - not a convention windoze uses. Appreciated!

Re: [GNC] CSV transaction import settings
David, It looks like you want the chart here: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Diagrams_-_Linux 1. /home//.local/share/gnucash 2. /home//.local/share/gtk-3.0 3. /home//.config/gnucash 4. /home//.config/gtk-3.0 One of those four directories should have the file you are looking for. Based on the expected files listed in that chart, I'd hazard that either #1 or #3 is the proper location.

Re: [GNC] CSV transaction import settings
David, The Wiki FAQ has a section on file locations. I don't have the exact answer off-hand, but I'm sure one of those locations has what you are looking for.
