[GNC] Text selection on transaction entry

2021-02-06 Thread Derek Zehr
Hello, I'm using GnuCash 4.4 (from Flathub) on Ubuntu with the Cinnamon desktop. When I am tabbing through fields in a register, the field contents are not selected. So before I can change them, I need to select the text some how, such as Ctrl+A. Any idea why this would be acting like this?

Nice to know about the htmltopdf package. On Ubuntu, the closest I found was wkhtmltopdf. But Ubuntu does have Print to PDF built in, and it works great. I'll be using my Ubuntu system more often than the Windows 7 in the long run anyway. Thanks Derek On 2020-10-20 9:45 p.m., Adrien

[GNC] Auto fill repeat transaction

2020-09-03 Thread Derek Zehr
GnuCash has the neat feature of duplicating a transaction when you copy the description. What's the best way to update/change the amount? Right now I edit the Debit, then tab to the credit and type in the amount again. If I forget that step the amount is put into an Orphan/Imbalance account.

fast, and narrows down your choices very quickly. No more typing through the account hierarchy with separators to assign that account which is 8 levels deep. (but you still can if you want to) Once you use it, you won't know how you managed without it. Regards, Adrien On 8/24/20 9:57 AM, Derek

Hello Fellow GnuCashers, I installed GnuCash from Ubuntu software (Ubuntu 18.04), and it is version 2.6.19. But I see the latest release on gnucash.org is 4.1. Why is mine so far behind, and when can I expect the upgrades to come through Ubuntu's distribution? Thanks, Derek Zehr
