[GNC] Invoicing

I have not used the invoice sections of GnuCash for some time. The work done since that time up to version 4.8 has been astounding and of course caused me to go through quite a learning curve. I have a few questions: I believe the only header images that are appropriate for stylesheets are 100

There was indeed a bug so I opened https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798327 and created a PR with a simple fix. I verified that on the file that Robin provided the import continues as expected for all 11 securities. On Sun, Oct 3, 2021 at 2:21 PM john wrote: > That sounds like https://bug

I would disagree with “don’t upgrade unless entirely necessary." Open source software (OSS) requires a different approach. Proprietary software offers guarantees of the support lifetime of the software you purchase, paid for by your money. The resources for development and support are very limit

Addressing the messages in reverse order. I should have been more precise. All my comments have assumed the user has an Kindle e-reader, i.e. "Kindle", "Kindle Paperwhite" or "Kindle Oasis". I thought the "Kindle Fire" was or is a tablet, not just an e-reader. I know very little about the Fire.

The app question depends on the type of Kindle you're using. The Fire has supported apps in the past, but more bare bones Kindles don't. Original Message From: A Harvey Sent: Sun Oct 03 15:30:50 EDT 2021 To: "D." Cc: flywire , Gnucash Users Subject: Re: [GNC] Build 4.8 docs

Re: [GNC] Making the leap to latest

Thanks but this isn't my first rodeo with migrating computers. It's only my first migration with GnuCash to a later version and the primary purpose of my question is to make sure that changes in the file storage format get translated correctly since I'm well aware that the format has changed at le

Re: [GNC] Build 4.8 docs issue

Don't you have to connect your Kindle to a PC in order to install the docs in MOBI format too? How would we package the html, which is a few dozen files with a directory structure, so that it's easy to install into the Kindle? That question is mostly from curiosity. It seems that we got bad info

Flywire and D. Thanks for the suggestions. I will try them tonight and report back. The Kindle has what Amazon calls the "Experimental Browser". I have tried it a few times in the past just to see what it's like. What it's like is pouring molasses, but it works. I will try entering the link in

As a side note, I am surprised you you are building epub, html and pdf for your ebuild. On linux the idea is you build the "ghelp" target* which generates the documentation in the format gnucash expects. It's installed in a way that is should open with yelp. The other formats were never intend

Re: [GNC] OFX Import with Investment Transactions

Kalpesh, if you could give me samples of OFX files that do not work with the current code, I'd be happy to fix the issues. I've been working on the OFX import (not the libofx, but GC part of it) and it's quite possible that some of the issues that you're seeing are caused by GC, and not changes

Re: [GNC] OFX Import with Investment Transactions

I believe your issue falls in the part of those libofx changes that were made. Are those nine transactions versus one in the same account or different account in same file? There are multiple way to hash this and thus finding the issue: singe account or multiple accounts in same ofx file (e

Yes, I'm familiar with that issue as well as my spouse's 401K OFX has fee transactions where shares are sold to pay plan expenses, but those transactions appear only as cash withdrawals and the sale transactions do not get imported. That one doesn't bother me as much because it's one transaction p

Re: [GNC] OFX Import with Investment Transactions

The issues that you are seeing I believe has to do with changes that OFX introduced in libofx which has been included since 4.5 and above version of GnuCash. FWIW, I am running on Windows 10 Pro desktop but that likely doesn't matter when it comes to core functionality. I also had problems where s

Re: [GNC] Searching issues

I am using release 3.8 in Linux and the behavior in the account box is still the same as it has been for years. You need to enter characters matching existing entries in the COA. The changed search behavior is more recent, iirc that started in release 4.something. On Sun, Oct 3, 2021, 9:01 AM M

I'm using GNC v3.8 on Linux Mint 20.2. Until recently while entering a transaction as I began typing in the account field GNC would begin searching for the matching entry. For instance when I began typing sal... the entries with sal in them (sales:tax) would appear and I could click on the entr
