Bruno, It turns out that Apple decided to put the perl headers exclusively in the Xcode SDK but their perl patch doesn't quite work. Gory details may be read at https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=127028. The work-around in the last post to that bug, installing command-line tools and

Hi John, I was referring to MacHD/Library/Perl, so proceeded following your suggestions. The rm commands worked. Tried installing Date::Manip, as you suggested, which generated a long log (attached in full), but seems to have failed for the following reasons (I noticed): 'YAML' not installed, w

Interesting, but not really necessary to change. (and it would introduce more code to maintain) If you don’t want to use memos, don’t. If you do, then turn on transaction-journal view instead and use that. You’ll never encounter this problem of ‘hidden’ data. I got so tired of expanding transa

I think the confusion is arising because the default view (well intentioned for simplicity for new users) is hiding the double-entry nature of the actual data and this necessitated special terms and definitions for ’simple transaction’ and ‘compound transaction’ and then someone decided to use t

While I don’t have an issue with the use of the term ’split’ as a noun (seems quite normal to me) after looking at my Accounting textbook, I see the authors simply refer to each debit/credit as an ‘entry’ which of course makes sense in light of the phrase ‘double-entry accounting.’ They however

You need to reverse the preference on your #2 back to using the GnuCash color theme. If the preference is checked, GnuCash will load its own predefined colors, or colors from a custom css file. If the preference is cleared, GnuCash will use colors from the default Gtk theme. (Adwaita in this c

Ken, You're missing the point here. Dale is pointing out an implementation that automatically copies hidden (and transaction-specific) information from one transaction to the next. This annoying feature is what Liz was referring to when she said she'd purchased many washing machines: the inform

I also have turned on double-line mode to deal with the notes/memo field.  I use it mainly on one account. The original suggestions  would be nice options to have - certainly the non-copying of the field for memorized transactions would be great. On 3/24/2019 10:22 PM, Liz wrote: On Sun,
