Alan, I’m in agreement with Derek here. Since GnuCash is written using the GTK toolkit, which is not native to either Windows or Mac, Linux is the top choice. While I use GnuCash daily on Mac, there are a few (though easily worked-around) hiccups, such as with multi-monitor setups, application

John, Basically reliability, accuracy and trouble free operation. Not the OS itself, but GnuCash when running on the OS. Rightly or wrongly i have the feeling that development time is not necessary divided equally among the 3 versions ? Nothing wrong with that, it’s just I don’t particularly care

Alan, Yeah, a bunch of Gtk problems on Macs--some of them my fault from an update I did last fall. I've been working on fixing them for the last month, so 3.5 should be *much* better. Regards, John Ralls > On Mar 20, 2019, at 6:18 PM, Alan Taylor wrote: > > Wow … thank you John ! > That was

Wow … thank you John ! That was it for the input interface problems. It solved the selection problems for "Save As” (all databases now available) and the Namespace issues when manually adding the stock price. Do you know why ? I cannot guess how a second monitor would do that ? Brgds/Alan On 20

What OS are you on? I think on Windows you have to install SQLite or MySQL separately. MacOS comes with SQLite and I think (don’t remember) most Linux distributions do as well. MySQL has to be installed separately for both MacOS and some Linux distributions, a few come with it already and some

Thanks Bucky but no joy, both with Yahoo and Apply. After testing I do have a clue. For the securities that are problematic, doing a manual ADD using the Price Database window appears to be normal (using apply and ok) but at conclusion nothing has been saved if looking for prices under the securi
