Maybe it has been asked already, but with the file being accessed from three separate machines, by a gui and by a CLI utility, are you sure it wasn’t open on two machine at once? That would explain everything if one machine made the changes, but another machine (which didn’t have the changes)

Both of these are already possible. I maintain two GnuCash files, and most often run both of them at the same time with two different instances of GnuCash. You just have to tell it which file to open, either by using “File/Open” or with a command line argument. I do this on a Mac with

I get the same behavior — it works fine as long as I don’t type anything in transfer column (which would search for and suggest a value to fill the field). If I type in that field, it crashes immediately. If I use the drop down menu, I can choose the account that way and it works fine. It’s

How else could you do it? If you import a transaction from your bank or credit card, the only thing it has is the total amount. It doesn’t tell you how much of that amount was tax, and how much was the product. If you bought three things in a single transaction (each of which might affect

FYI I’m running GnuCash 4.6 on Big Sur and not having any issues. All I did was download it, open the DMG, and drag the GnuCash icon into the applications folder. It asked if I wanted to replace the existing version, I said yes, it installed, and has been working fine since. > On Jul 3,

On MacOS, to run two instances simultaneously, open the first one in the usual way, then for the second, open a shell and type: open -n /Applications/Gnucash.App your_data_file.gnucash That assumes Gnucash is in the Applications folder. Change “your_data_file.gnucash” to the real path to

How is your system memory? GnuCash loads all the data in memory (even if you use the SQL backend) so it needs some room to breathe. I have easily ten years of data in my file (and I categorize and track everything at a level that few people would, so I have *lots* of splits), and I don’t

If you don’t have multiple monitors then that setting probably doesn’t appear. It is only used for how to handle the second monitor. I guess it’s something else happening in your case. > On Oct 10, 2018, at 7:37 AM, Leslie Jensen wrote: > > Den ons 10 okt. 2018 kl 14:06 skr

I’ve been using GnuCash forever, running the 2.x series up until a couple of months ago on Mac High Sierra. I routinely have two instances of Gnucash running — one personal and one business. A couple of months ago I updated to GnuCash 3.2. Since then I have a 100% repeatable crash scenario
