Re: [GNC] survey: unifying the appearance in different options dialogs

2018-07-16 Thread Adrien Monteleone
Di Mang,

I have no preference for either top or left-side tabs, as long as they are 
consistent across the application. However, I can see that changing the main 
app preferences to top tabs might be cumbersome as there are so many. 
Therefore, if a delineation were made that ‘preference panes’ use left-side 
tabs, and ‘report-options’ used top-tabs, I think that would help to maintain 
functional consistency. App and file (book) preferences are something changed 
less often. Report Options might be adjusted frequently to generate different 
views of the same data.

The only other change visually I would think in order would be to style the 
report-options similar to the application preferences, by reversing the colors. 
(the main content area should be lighter colored, the tabs, darker) The styling 
change would make all preference/option dialogs consistent and easier to focus. 
With the present scheme, the tabs grab the user’s attention more than the 
options themselves. (I understand this wouldn’t hold up with any particular 
alternative gtk theme, but the default should look proper)

Regards,
Adrien

[GNC] Cancel the current transaction Button not working in my Gnucash 2.6.19 Linux Mint 19 upgrade

2018-07-16 Thread Nic Deane via gnucash-user

Dear friends,

I have been using Gnucash as my personal banking account checking system 
for many years now and think it is a brilliant system. Many thanks!


When I upgraded from Linux Mint 18.3 to Linux Mint 19 and restarted my 
Gnucash accounts all has been fine. However, when I enter a Split 
transaction and try to _Cancel the current transaction_ (usually 
Imbalance-GBP) the _Button_ doesn't seem to work anymore. It always 
worked a dream before and took out that line. It doesn't make any 
difference to the accounting because when I check my Trial Balance 
ledger the Imbalance-GBP is still zero and, therefore, makes no 
difference to my accounting, but this is just a bit frustrating.


Is anyone else having the same problem?

Great to be able to join the mailing list and ask this very simple 
question. Linux is always so good for simpletons like me.


Many thanks,

Nic Deane

Are you sure you're using the right button? To delete an existing split you 
want the delete button, not the cancel button. The delete button is a white 
circle with a red border and a black "X" in the middle. The cancel button, 
which undoes any edits made in the split since it was last committed, is a red 
octagon with a white border, like a "STOP" traffic sign without the word.

John Ralls

Re: [GNC] Saving in GnuCash painfully slow: what can I do?

2018-07-16 Thread David Carlson
I am researching the issue with Auto Clear,as it is something that I have
not seen before.  So far, I found out that it is supposed to be started
from the Accounts window Actions menu and it is supposed to cause a screen
to open where one can try to coax GnuCash into clearing multiple
transactions in one fell swoop, presumably on the account that is currently
highlighted in that window.  Also, it supposedly has been there since 2010,
having been implemented as noted in <
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608436>.

However, I cannot seem to get it started, and I am wondering if others,
including Hmm have been able to use it with at least some success.  If so,
how does it work?

Thanks David. I don't see any suggestions other than what I did. Downloaded
from the link, opened the disk image, and moved the app to the applications
folder. Still when I click on the app, nothing happens. Nothing at all.

Re: [GNC] New User Can't Open Gnucash with High Sierra

2018-07-16 Thread John Ralls
You need to double-click on the app. Also there have been reports that 
Gatekeeper isn’t passing GnuCash on to LaunchServices after verification so a 
second double-click is needed to actually launch it.

If that still doesn’t work try opening /Applications/Utilities/Terminal and 
starting GnuCash from the command line as follows:
  /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash

If it fails there may be some output there indicating what’s gone wrong.

John Ralls

Re: [GNC] New User Can't Open Gnucash with High Sierra

2018-07-16 Thread mizring
Hi John,

With all due respect, I'm well aware I need to double click the app.

In any case, my laptop is relatively new, and I had to call Mac tech support
today regarding a completely different issue I was having. The tech person
had me do a few things -- including running disk first aid -- which resolved
the other issue I was having. I just tried Gnucash again, and whaddya know,
it launched with no problem. Whatever we did must have resolved my Gnucash
issue as well.

Happy camper here. Thanks so much for your help.
