Re: [GNC] Gnucash 3 in the Debian / Ubuntu pipeline?

Just curious... It has been almost a year since Gnucash was removed to Debian testing. It has (re)entered SID on 7/4, and there it sits... Who is responsible for working on the "excuses" for why is stays in SID: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gnucash, and has not migrated to Testing? Lincoln

A reasonable consideration. Keep in mind, there have been only 2 inquiries about this column before now, back in 2009. (on IRC) It seems the discoverability by accident, even with people trying to resize the balance column (and expanding the rate column instead) is very low. And since this is

Of course, that all makes sense. The other improvements, specifically how to resize columns, particularly the Description column I think should be documented. There are enough questions on the list about it to address the topic. Regards, Adrien > On Aug 20, 2018, at 1:01 PM, Derek Atkins

IMHO, the column does not need to be documented becuase it is a non-servicible part. It exists the way it does because that was the easiest way to get the register to store the meta-information about a rate. It exists as a 1-pixel column because that's the narrowest you can make it. There's no

I’ve never seen any documentation on it. I only confirmed it’s there after I read Derek’s comment and expanded the column myself to see it. I just did a search of the GnuCash site, wiki and html docs and I don’t see anything on the column, other than a pair of IRC logs from 2009 where someone

I just tried to find reference to the rate field in the Tutorial and I found nothing. I think it should probably be mentioned in chapter 4 section 4.2. That section even fails to explain single line vs two line view or dragging around field widths, so it has a long way to go before it could

There are two ways. One involves adding a ’tag’ to each transaction, the other involves using a spreadsheet. If you want GnuCash to produce the report directly, you would need some sort of ’tag’ (this if figurative here, GnuCash doesn’t have a ’tag’ feature) in either the Description, Notes,
