4.11 is the current official release so it won't hurt to go to that version instead of 4.8.
I use compressed XML version of file running on Windows 11 and frankly speaking I never had to revert back to previous version of data file for being corrupt. This history goes back to since 3.x version days. I do reconcile my accounts, including brokerage, on 6 to 7 month cycles and have found to match transactions downloaded so corruption is least of worries with GNC. ------------------------------ Message: 9 Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2022 16:25:23 +0200 From: "rsbrux" <rsb...@yahoo.com> To: <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> Subject: Re: [GNC] GC 3.11 crashes during "Check & Repair" Message-ID: <!&!AAAAAAAAAAAuAAAAAAAAAExfBJ/fSBxAqM7oRtz1TdsBAMO2jhD3dRHOtM0AqgC7tuYAAAAA AA4AABAAAABBvYEW7g9HQ7E0pYiHgEnrAQAAAAA=@yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Many thanks to all who have offered help and advice. The following evidence strongly suggests a memory management problem to me: 1. I was able to perform "Check & Repair" on all accounts and subaccounts by dividing them up into smaller groups, saving, exiting and restarting GC in between. 2. If I tried to "Check & Repair" too much at once, GUI response would slow dramatically and GC would forget how to do things it had already done successful in the same session, e.g. saving, which, when attempted, produced messages like: >> * 22:08:34 WARN <gnc.gui> [gnc_builder_connect_full_func()] ggaff: could not find signal handler 'gnc_ui_file_access_response_cb'. << I now have what I think is a working and fully checked file in GC 3.11 for Windows and will now try upgrading it to 4.8 in Ubuntu Studio. My file does include Trading accounts, so Kalpesh's suspicions may be right. However, this raises the question of whether I need a newer version than 4.8 in Ubuntu Studio. ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
