Adrian, Seems to be working now. Not sure why though. I went to Tools/Price Database/Currencies and added today's rate to both MXN and USD. The historical record of exchange rates was there so I assume 3.5 transferred that data over from the update. Took two or three tries transferring from

Update on the bug. I just tested this under the following circumstance: 1. I started entering a transaction with a description that produced an auto-fill of several splits. 2. The auto-fill contained 2 splits anchoring to the current register. 3. Attempting to right-click and ‘delete split’,

I think it’s just a matter of whatever is the optimum workflow for the situation. Some of my auto-fill transaction details include 10 or more splits. It is much easier to keep the anchor split and choose to ‘delete other splits’ than to remove the other 9 one at a time. But If I only want to

It shouldn’t make a difference as long as you’re still deleting all of the split information. If it does behave differently by method (keyboard vs. mouse focus; menu, toolbar, context menu, or delete/backspace) then that I think is a bug. All methods should produce the same result for this

Roger, I just did a test transaction. It worked as expected. I entered a transaction with a credit to a USD based asset account and a debit of equal value to an XAG based account. A pop-up window asking for the exchange rate appeared. I also used the ’Transfer’ button on the toolbar which

It is not necessary to expand the transaction into split mode at all.. If you normally operate in non-split mode then just right click and select Remove Other Splits. Colin On Wed, 5 Jun 2019 at 20:49, Stephen M. Butler wrote: > > On 6/5/19 11:45 AM, Derek Atkins wrote: > > Hi, > > > > On Wed,

[GNC] 3.5, transfers between accounts of different currencies, setting the exchange rate

2019-06-05 Thread rmomxtx
In previous versions of GnuCash, a transfer between accounts of different currencies always opened a window before recording that allowed you to set the exchange rate. In 3.5 that window doesn't appear so the transfer is recorded at the last exchange rate. I can't find a setting to restore this

David, If you delete the split for the current register, there is nothing binding the transaction to the current register, so of course it will "disappear" from this register.  David On Wed, Jun 5, 2019 at 14:49, David Carlson wrote: It has always been my custom to start from the

Sometimes a new transaction for a previous payee copies the split transfer, but the current transaction is not split. Searching the guide and help manuals for 'unsplit' finds nothing. I think there was a long ago thread on unsplitting a transaction but I have no record of that here. What is the
