Re: [GNC] Error While Saving in GnuCash 3.5 on Win7-64

Greg, No worries, but yes, you’ve guessed correctly. There is a hidden header with a subject ID that is carried over when you hit ‘reply’. This is what threading is based off of, (for most mail clients) not the text characters in the subject line. (you can see this header line if you view the

Well, Chris Graves, nvsoar, I copied the original folders so I could make a test path exactly like the path that causes the error, but with no ampersand, and I still get the the same problem. The path C:\Dropbox\My Docs\Thorough C and D\GnuCash\GnuCash Files\ fails just like C:\Dropbox\My Docs\Th

Adrien, Geert, From the gmail web interface, I hit reply to the latest email I received from this list and changed the subject line to be what I wanted, and deleted the entire body before typing up what I wanted to say. I thought it was the subject text that directed emails into various conversat

It threaded that way for me as well. But then once the first reply came back, it somehow magically decoupled. I chalked it up to a Mail.app hiccup. Now I’m intrigued as to how it got separated. Curious to see what the Mailman archive page shows. Regards, Adrien > On Apr 5, 2019, at 11:06 AM, G

Re: [GNC] Error While Saving in GnuCash 3.5 on Win7-64

Hi Greg, It was "hijacked" in the sense that you seem to have started it by replying to John Ralls' reply on the "help lost data file" thread. So my mail client did hide your message in that thread. Apparently that also happened for Frank. Of course I can't *know* what you did exactly. It just

Hi Frank, I started this thread. I've been driving this thread since I started it. What made you think I hijacked? I was aware of bugzilla, but it's not an email list. I had some concern that the process had changed from when I last monitored this list many months ago. Previously an error like

Re: [GNC] Error While Saving in GnuCash 3.5 on Win7-64

Thanks for all the info, Ron. I don't disagree with anything you've written, except that I've been using spaces in folder and file names on windows computers since the late 20th century. The olden days are over. I'm glad you found a work around for naming files and folders in Linux without using

Re: [GNC] Error While Saving in GnuCash 3.5 on Win7-64

This probably doesn't have anything to do with your issue, but I've never been a fan of spaces in paths/filenames. Back in the olde days it wasn't allowed. I gather that's changed, but it still strikes me as bad juju. I'm a Linux guy and even though I guess we can use spaces we have to delim

The path that 3.5 failed to write to is: C:\Dropbox\My Docs\Thorough C & D\GnuCash\GnuCash Files\(VerboseFileNameProbably30chars.gnucash) The last successful saves to this directory was by GnuCash 2.6.21, and was: C:\Dropbox\My Docs\Thorough C & D\GnuCash\GnuCash Files\AfterImporting2018ThroughQ

Hi, I just upgraded to 3.5 from 2.6.21. I've been using 2.6.x for a few years, and never had trouble saving to this directory, but after upgrading to 3.5, I tried to save and it gives me an error message. "You attempted to save in "can't be displayed" or a subdirectory thereof. This is not allow
