You may either be able to whitelist the list address, or set a filter to run before junk filtering and file list messages in their own folder. This may or may not have to be done on both the server and your local client depending on your setup. Regards, Adrien On 2/24/23 9:30 PM, kschneider b

I have not tried using iCloud or any other non-local storage for my data file (I consider a 'LAN' as 'local') but this *might* be an issue with Gatekeeper and permissions to access other storage locations. I recall being pestered by MacOS when it was implemented to approve of various applicatio

Martin, You've got your answer about the data file, but preferences and any Saved Report Configurations (special animals) are a different matter. Those should be addressed by the Wiki if you look in the FAQ for backup/file locations. If you copy over those files respectively, you should be mo

Re: [GNC] Customer Summary without the Pre-payment-Current-..-Total Table

My Customer 'Summary' does not show such a block. My various Customer 'Reports' however, do. And as far as I can tell, there is no official preference to turn it off. One option might be to export of copy/paste the report to a spreadsheet before printing and remove it. Another option *might*

Gyle, You may be 'stuck' with having to just manually check those off during reconciliation this one time. They are already in your books, so the import failure is just a matter of auto-clearing them. It only takes a few seconds to either click them as cleared before reconciling or clicking t

Libby, From the Applications folder, right-click Gnucash.app and choose 'Open'. The MacOS Gatekeeper will likely ask you if you are sure you want to open it as it was downloaded from the internet. Confirm that you do. It may or may not then open the app. But if not, simply double-click the ap

Ron, First, when you want to start a new topic on the list, just send a new e-mail to the list address rather than replying to an existing message. Even though you changed the subject, it can get threaded as a reply to that previous message, and may get 'lost' in the shuffle, or at least mak

Re: [GNC] Saved Report Configurations

I do the same. I have general configurations saved, but anything particular to that solitary instance of the report, I do not save as part of the configuration. Those will be one-offs so no need to save them as a config, just run and if I want, save as a PDF. Regards, Adrien On 2/13/23 8:18 A

Re: [GNC] GC cannot make backup file

Certainly not a GnuCash problem, but I'd hazard a guess to set up a Scheduled Task to periodically copy over your GnuCash files to the X drive, keeping them somewhere else. That way, the sync never steals ownership while in progress as the file doesn't appear there till the Task puts it there.
