[GNC] two instances on different books

Is it safe for a single user to run simultaneously two different instances of GC on two different books? If so, what settings are shared between them and therefore must be the same? I can think of all the general settings, which mostly seem to be preferences about overall features like whether

Re: [GNC] two instances on different books

Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between what you are wanting to do and just doing a FILE - OPEN - BOOK2 from a single instance? Seems to me that the only real difference is that when GnuCash opens, it automatically opens the last book it was working from. So, that being the case,

Re: [GNC] two instances on different books

FSVO "safe", yes it is, at least in Windows. Caution: reports, preferences, and most-recently used (with geometry of the window) are per user and not per book(*). Therefore, depending on the sequence in which you make changes and close files, you may find that some or all of the changes you made

Thanks, Nate. I don't want to purge the `python3-gnucash` package for fear that it will remove my GnuCash settings. Python 3.11.2 (main, May 2 2024, 11:59:08) [GCC 12.2.0] on linux > Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. > >>> import gnucash > >>> dir() > ['__anno

Re: [GNC] two instances on different books

I agree with Stan's scenario. In a former life, the company I was working for had two companies in the same set of books. One was to do with running a holiday park, the other the entertainment side - there was a tax advantage to this. So I had separate nominals for the entertainment part with their

Re: [GNC] two instances on different books

Yes, I agree. However, there are always potential human mistakes that can occur, even with a single book. Many of those can be mitigated in various ways. For the moment, I am wondering if there are any technical reasons that simply preclude the option and make all those possible challenges

Re: [GNC] two instances on different books

Brook, I have in the past run multiple instances on different books with no major problems apart from the workflow issues Michael bought up. All sets of books are then subject to the same set of user preferences and changing them for one changes them for all. The other way is to run multiple u

Re: [GNC] two instances on different books

There is no problem with having multiple instances of GnuCash running at the same time. I do so rather frequently for personal and business books. My wife and I are self-employed and transactions such as capital contributions and draws or guaranteed distributions have related entries in both book

Re: [GNC] two instances on different books

The other way is to run multiple users and switch between the users when you need to use a different set of books. Then the user preferences are unique to each user and therefor each set of books. Requires a logoff/login as the new user. . of course if you can afford multiple computers and

Re: [GNC] two instances on different books

Brook  Where you may possibly encounter problems in having two related entities within the one set of books will be with the business features which AFAIK are designed with only a single entity in mind. I keep my and my wife's personal finances in one set of books but use subaccounts to keep our
