Last year there was a brief thread on the gnucash-user list entitled "GNUCASH FOR PDAs??"
At the time I ventured the opinion that an old (some suggested possibly no longer maintained) Palm application called FreeCoins might have been what the original poster had been looking for. I thought I'd let you know that I have had some recent success in extracting infomation from the FreeCoins Palm Databases. I thought that if I posted the XML I have created on here, the devel list I might get some feedback as to how to have GnuCash read it, or a modified version of it, in. I will post a similar message onto the gnucash-user list as that's a slightly different audience. I appreciate that at the moment there's no read from XML other than the full file read in but if there was a possibility of say, reading in a split pair then there might be some mileage in taking this forwards. But anyway, I created two accounts, one asset and one expense and created a transaction, moving 98.76 NZD between them. The resulting XML is FreeCoins-Currency.pdb <currency id="10031105" private="0" archived="0" modified="1" busy="0" category="0"> <code>NZD</code> <description>New Zealand Dollar</description> <rate>1.000000</rate> </currency> FreeCoins-Accounts.pdb <account id="1323009" private="0" archived="0" modified="1" busy="0" category="1"> <type>0</type> <parn>0</parn> <curr>10031105</curr> <baln>-9876</baln> <clrd>-9876</clrd> <lmit>123456</lmit> <cbal>0</cbal> <cclr>0</cclr> <clim>0</clim> <description>My 1st Ac</description> <name>Acnt1</name> <note>A two line note</note> </account> <account id="1323010" private="0" archived="0" modified="1" busy="0" category="1"> <type>3</type> <parn>0</parn> <curr>10031105</curr> <baln>9876</baln> <clrd>9876</clrd> <lmit>0</lmit> <cbal>0</cbal> <cclr>0</cclr> <clim>0</clim> <description>My 2nd Ac</description> <name>Acnt2</name> </account> FreeCoins-Transactions.pdb <transaction id="4182018" private="0" archived="0" modified="1" busy="0" category="1"> <date>2010-05-29</date> <details splits="2" payment="5" /> <unknowns one="176" two="1" /> <rate>1.000000</rate> <description>My 1st Tx</description> <num>23</num> <note>Some text across 2 lines</note> </transaction> FreeCoins-Splits.pdb <split id="12189699" private="0" archived="0" modified="1" busy="0" category="0"> <tran>4182018</tran> <acnt>1323009</acnt> <amnt>-9876</amnt> <sort>1</sort> </split> <split id="12189700" private="0" archived="0" modified="1" busy="0" category="0"> <tran>4182018</tran> <acnt>1323010</acnt> <amnt>9876</amnt> <sort>2</sort> </split> The codes I am using to achive the above make use of the pilot-link software suite of conduits.
