MODERATORS -- The entire list doesn't need to see this, but I'd appreciate if you'd pass this on to the developers.
I wanted to like Gnucash, I really did, but it crashes e=whenever I try to generate any report from any Gnucash file. I installed Gnucash 2.6.19 (from link at Gnucash.org) on my 64-bit Windows 7 laptop and 64-bit Windows 8 laptop and started working my way through the tutorial. When I made a scheduled transaction and couldn't see it in the ledger, I attempted to display the report of scheduled transactions. Got only a blank window, and when I clicked Close the title bar showed "not responding". When I clicked the red x in the upper right corner to close the window, I got "Gnucash has stopped working". The same thing happened with every report I tried (maybe ten of them, min various categories), and whether I had reports opening in a separate window or not. This happens on both my laptops. I looked in the FAQ Wiki https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_I_cannot_get_any_report_to_display_not_even_the_sample_reports._All_that_displays_is_an_empty_tab. and found a recommendation to change Internet options. That didn't help. I followed the link from the FAQ to the bug report https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645273 which was entered SEVEN YEARS AGO. There were various suggestions related to Internet Explorer, which I tried, but as other folks found, those suggestions did not help. I then Googled the gnucash-user archive and found nothing new, just rehashes of the same problem. HTML files and trace files were generated in my temp folder, but there's no point in sending them since many others have done that already, yet the bug remains unfixed. I've already wasted about six hours trying unsuccessfully to work around the bug, and several times that on the tutorial. I wanted to like Gnucash, and I know the software is free, but without the ability to produce any reports it's worth even less than I paid for it. Extremely disappointing. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
