The alternative solution would have meant to edit the xml file by hand and add the missing posted date that got reported in the trace file.

[GNC] Backup and restore GnuCash Settings
Hi All I have recently made a back of my home directory on a fedora 27 pc and then i restored it to a new installation on fedora 28. I was expecting to open Gnucash and continue working on my latest Gnucash file and also have all my settings in place but this was not the case. Running Gnucash on the new installation is like you start application for the first time. Firefox for example does not have this behavior, all my setting plugins, bookmarks,passwords are in their place after restoring my home dir. Any ideas how to fix this? Note: This is not specific to GnuCash 3, i have seen the same thing and on previous gnucash versions.

Re: [GNC] Backup and restore GnuCash Settings
I am not an expert on Linux, so do not quote me here. I think that GnuCash puts the settings in a hidden folder under your user directory. Does your backup program also back up the hidden folders?

Re: [GNC] Backup and restore GnuCash Settings
As a long time Linux user and having used GnuCash for several years I can tell you that your GnuCash settings are in a hidden file in your home directory: ~/.gnucash You didn't say how you made your backup so, as David asked, did you back up your hidden files. If, for example, you used `tar` by running the command `tar cvf /home/tmp/backup.tar /home/nikos` then your hidden files should have been copied. However, if you instead ran `tar cvf backup.tar *` from within your home directory, your hidden files would not have been copied.

Re: [GNC] Backup and restore GnuCash Settings
Fedora version 28 installs Gnucash 3.0.1.something if you use the version in the Fedora 28 repository. Not sure which version is in the Fedora 27 repo, but I'll wager it's one of the 2.XX releases.

There is a color selector with predefined colors and an option to add your own custom colors from a more detailed color selector. But in neither window there's an eyedropper tool.

Re: [GNC] Backup and restore GnuCash Settings
Since Firefox stores user prefs in $HOME/.mozilla, I’d be surprised if .gnucash didn’t get backed up also, unless the OP used a custom command and .mozilla was specifically included and .gnucash wasn’t. But if this were some sort of backup app and it was set to backup hidden files, then .gnucash should be there. Perhaps it didn’t get restored though.

[GNC] Need User friendly guide to importing qfx file
Hello! I am new to GnuCash and attempted my first import of a qfx file from my bank. When I import the file, the "Generic import transaction matcher" is blank/empty. Although I've researched the answers to similar questions, I do not understand the technical answers to them. The closest I came to a solution was from 2014, but I am using version 3.0 uploaded in 2018. Wouldn't that bug be fixed by now? Many of the answers discuss ofx, which I do not think applies to the qfx issue I am having. I am an accounting end user with no experience in programming. Can someone tell me in childlike laymen's terms how to get GnuCash to import a qfx file of my bank's transactions? I am using Windows 10 Home. So far I'm really happy with my conversion from Quicken to GnuCash, so I am determined to make this import work. Thank you for your time.

Re: [GNC] Backup and restore GnuCash Settings
Was this the order of operations? #1 Upgrade/Install new OS version #2 Restore backup #3 Install new version of GnuCash If #2 happened before #3, perhaps the GnuCash install is overwriting the restored .gnucash folder with a fresh copy. Does restoring just that folder again from the backup restore your settings? If so, then a bug should be filed on the overwrite issue. If you installed GnuCash first and then restored the .gnucash folder from the backup, then for some reason it is not being seen. But one last thing to check: Perhaps you have a permissions/ownership issue? Is the .gnucash folder and contents owned by your current user number with the proper read-write permissions? Be sure to check the owner’s user #, not just the name. So if you were user 1000 in Fedora 27, you’d need to be user 1000 in v.28 or else change the ownership of .gnucash and contents to your new user number.

I upgraded from Ubuntu 17.10 to Ubuntu 18.04 this past weekend and installed Gnucash 3.1 per the instructions on the wiki. Things went without a hitch (with Gnucash, anyway) and the new version looks lovely. I've never had an issue with losing my settings from an upgrade. I will strongly encourage you to use a separate /home partition.

[GNC] No file showing up at "Generic import transaction matcher"
I've tried importing .qfx files from downloads from two different banks: Chase and USAA. No files are showing up on the Generic import transaction matcher, so I am unable to import transactions. Why is GnuCash not importing .qfx files in Version: 3.0. Build ID: git 3.0+ (2018-04-01)? Is there a workaround that needs to be done?

Thanks David! That January 2018 thread was helpful.

Re: [GNC] No file showing up at "Generic import transaction matcher"
Do you mean that you cannot find the folder where your file is located after starting the import assistant or something different. There is a known bug that that windows version cannot find mapped network files. If that is your issue you will have to either wait for release 3.2 or copy the import files to a local folder on your 'C' drive.

Re: [GNC] 3.1 + Win10, TIME it takes to SAVE
I just stumbled on this bug report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796122 Is your data file in a shared folder? Is it local or on another device/machine? As the bug report suggests, perhaps try cleaning up the data folder (maybe move all but the main file to another location if you don’t want to delete them) and see if that improves performance on the save. If so, any additional info you can provide in the bug report might help.

Re: [GNC] Report "Future Scheduled Transactions Summary" shows old values
I presume you’ve got the report dates and book dates set correctly, but are those scheduled transactions still marked as ‘enabled’ in the editor? I don’t have any expired SXs to test, but I was able to get my current set to individually appear and disappear on the report by checking and unchecking the ‘enable’ button for each.

Re: [GNC] pros/cons of storage formats
Keith, The SQL backends are having a few issues at the moment. It would be a good idea to search the list here and also to look over the bug reports on Bugzilla. I originally used MySQL when I was running an Ubuntu box as my daily machine, but changed to XML when I moved to MacOS, and then switched to sqlite3 about two years ago, but had to change back to XML since the 3.x series release due to several bugs related to the business features. (if you don’t use those, you might not have any problems) If all you want is the ability to run outside queries for custom reporting or data integration, then sqlite3 is probably your safest bet. MySQL and Postgres are much more involved to setup and maintain. Essentially, if you’re not a database admin, you probably don’t need those two or will not find any advantage to the maintenance learning curve and overhead, stick with sqlite3 or XML. As for searching the list archives, use the following syntax before your search query terms: site:lists.gnucash.org However, I see that DuckDuckGo does not return any results with this method. Google does, as well as StartPage. (the latter I find to be more privacy conscious than DDG and usually provides me more relevant results.) I haven’t tested any other search engines with that syntax.

Re: [GNC] No file showing up at "Generic import transaction matcher"
Although locating the file proved difficult for me (a matter unrelated to GnuCash 😊), that was not my issue. After installing v3.1, I was able to import files. Before the upgrade, the Import "box" was blank/empty. Thank you for help.
