[GNC] Warning account contains splits whose reconcile date is after statement date

I get this warning each time I reconcile my credit card statement. It's happened for several months now. The balance is fine. There was a bit of confusion over similar lines, but the balances are now fine. (it was a really good series of $10.19 books.) The latest statement was Jan 10. The last tr

[GNC] Lock file problems -- won't open current file, claiming can't get lockfile

Even if I save immediately before closing the program, it refuses to open the file. I'm making do with Open Anyways, then Save As and changing the file name, but I don't think that's a good plan for the long run. Any ideas? -- +++ Not as a ladder from earth to Heaven, not as a witness to any cr

Re: [GNC] Fix assets

Is it really worth doing that in GNUCash? Every type of asset depreciates differently, and you have different types of depreciation (tax, resale, saving to replace). Also, the value of your building for insurance might be replacement cost, which is very different from what you could sell it for. O

Re: [GNC] De-Reconciliation Settings

I vote strongly that reconciliation status should never change without a warning that's hard to ignore. That's safest for the users, especially those of us with fat fingers, and easier to program. Finding which transaction to re-reconcile can be difficult unless I catch it right away. The only clu

Re: [GNC] Changing account tree on large database

Somewhere I saw that most people find QIF works better, and that QIF is similar to CSV. If my version of Quicken won't export to QIF, I'll try CSV. There are too many variations of CSV for me to trust it entirely. I might make one huge QIF, import it and save as GC, then make another QIF just of r

The speed thing is disappointing. I thought 3.5 fixed that, but maybe not enough. I planned to save as XML to get going, since the docs say it's more stable, then try SQLite. (Aside: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#SQL_Database recommends not using the SQL just yet. Several posts on this list sa

Re: [GNC] Changing account tree on large database

That page gave me nightmares when I first read it two years ago. I ran a few tests, then procrastinated. Nothing's difficult, but there's a lot to do. It looks like I should anticipate problems with the matcher for transfers between accounts, and for split transactions. I'll make before/after repo

[GNC] Changing account tree on large database

Hello, I'm preparing to convert 14,000 transactions from Quicken. It's a bit overwhelming, and I've put it off for years. 1. Can I move child accounts to other parents, and promote / demote them? I want to make some major changes, mostly Clothes-kid1 to kid1-clothes. It's one more excuse for dela

[GNC] Convert from Quicken by date rather than account -- recommended?

Would it work to go by date, one file per year or even quarter or month, instead instead of by account? Pros: - Transactions with multiple accounts (eg transfers or "gift card + cash") get done in the same session. - Less confusion as to what's been done over multiple sessions. Thanks, Cricket /

Re: [GNC] two lines for every entry

One additional point: When the bank or credit card company gives you money and issues a Debit Memo, they name from their perspective, giving instructions to their clerks. They say they are debiting you. You, however, are on the other side of the transaction. In your books, you credit them -- even

Reply All rather than Reply. Some email defaults to Reply, which only goes to the original poster, no the entire list. Very annoying for all involved, but changing the settings only seems to work for a short while.

Re: [GNC] QIF Import Fails

Is it using Retained Earnings for uncategorized transactions? Quicken used to have a report for uncategorized transactions. Years ago when I tried to convert (then life got busy), uncategorized transactions caused many problems.

Re: [GNC] My experience importing 19 years of Quicken data into GnuCash

Thanks for this. I have a similar project in the near future, and was wondering the best order for some things. It looks like the major re-categorization should be done before leaving Quicken. Good to know there's a workaround for the HiDPI bug. Is there a bug report / feature request for bulk a

Hello, Before I commit to a very large conversion from Quicken, I want to know that GnuCash will continue to be around and maintained. Is the core leadership team large enough that a single life event (eg new job, new baby, sabbatical, too many changes needed because of an OS upgrade) will stop m
