Re: [GNC] Export Report to PDF - characters split across pages

[R. Victor Klassen]

… and then if that doesn’t work, switch browsers (for the purpose of 
printing/exporting to PDF).  Some browsers ignore the optional tag that 
controls whether characters can be split across page breaks.  Others don’t.

This is a known problem with webkitgtk-1, the library we use to display 
reports and export to pdf.

The problem gets even worse with its successor webkitgtk-2 as it simply no 
longer supports printing to pdf directly :(
This more recent version is only supported on Linux. The old version is no 
longer available on linux.
So in the end that brings gnucash in the awkward position of not having a 
proper solution to this particular issue on any platform.

The workarounds are as suggested: export to html, open that html in a real 
browser and print/export to pdf from there.

Regards,

Geert

Thanks, Geert (and Victor and David).

Now I know that it’s not a matter of my failing to spot an option within 
Gnucash, I’ll go for the “print-to-pdf” feature on my iMac - it’s a single step 
as opposed to HTML->PDF.

Well, that would have worked if Gnucash hadn’t by-passed CUPS…

So it’s going to have to be:

Export to HTML->open in Firefox->print to PDF

While I do understand the end result for the user is the same, I can't help 
but point out that's actually gtk+ territory. GnuCash just uses gtk's print 
system.

Yeah, I'm sorry to hear there is no better answer to this at this point.

If you change the amounts in the splits then even a current reconcile

Unfortunately the way QOF works (since about 2.0), Accounts are not
"special" anymore -- all matches are performed by GUID (including
accounts).  This was implemented as a generalization of the code as it
was expanded to be able to search for other objects, like Customers,
Invoices, etc.

The downside of this change is that this particular feature was lost.

The only way to add it back in would be to completely restructure the
way searches are performed in order to special-case Accounts again.

I think, with the C++ rewrite underway, this feature could,
theoretically, be re-added by allowing an Account to override the
generic search functions.

Hope ? Sure, migrate to 3.x ;)

More seriously, in the 2.6 series there  was no gui interface to changing 
this. Only by direct manipulation of the data file.

Unfortunately I have no idea when Linux Mint will upgrade. And your choice to 
stick with to only official packages from your distro's repositories is a fair 
one.

Via flathub you could install a more recent version of gnucash that won't 
conflict with your officially installed one and which you can safely remove 
again if you don't like it.

However unfortunately this will not help you: we have made big changes in the 
internal data format for precisely the import maps. So if you work with them 
for a first time in gnucash 3.x, you will no longer be able to open your data 
file in gnucash 2.6.12. It would not understand the new format.

So alas I have no good tips for you other than doing careful surgery on your 
data file or wait until gnucash 3.x becomes available in linux mint.

Re: [GNC] Bayesian matching, was Re: gnucash-user Digest, Vol 189, Issue 50

[David Cousens]

Elamr 

The Linux Mint repository is often quite a way behind the current release. 
Tara(19) only has 2.6.19 available.
GnuCash is straight forward to build on Linux Mint. The wiki build pages 
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux
 were derived on LmM 18.3 and a fresh install of LM 19 as well so they shouuld 
have caught all possible dependencies. I
have the instructions given there to setup the build environment in a simple 
shell script which loads the build tools
and then all the dependencies, which is attached if you want to try it. 

You will need to set execute privileges on it (chmod +x 
gnucash-development-dependency-setup.sh) and then run it
(./gnucash-development-dependency-setup.sh at a terminal prompt in the 
directory you put it in. It requests permissions
to install libraries and headers at various points, just reply "y" to those. It 
takes a while to run though and install
everything. (~15 min on a 50MBps broadband link).

As Geert suggested the flatpak version is also available from the Software 
Manager. It required a few configuration
changes to get running as the flatpak does't have full access to LM in the 
default build. It may have been patched to
fix that since I tried it when GC3.2 was first released. If you check the forum 
archives around then there should be
some info of how to configure the flatpak.

I spent my first few months on LM five years ago only installing software from 
the repository. While it is generally
safe it is highly limiting. (The LM repository was compromised on one occasion 
a few years ago and a hacked version of a
program was installed there. It only lasted a couple of hours but a few of us 
did download it in that time.) 

I think my first build from source was probably GnuCash when I found I couldn't 
access a new feature I needed at the
time. I now run uptodate versions of most software. The main hassle is usually 
sorting out library versions when the
dependencies are updated. Fortunately many major libraries now can have 
multiple versions installed in parallel and the
programs just link to the version they require so conflict between libraries 
for different programs is not usually an
issue.

Which Balance Sheet are you using?  The Eguile version?

And is it Profit & Loss or Income Statement?

For these, once the report is up showing nothing, click on the Options 
menu item and look at the various setup entries to see if they all look 
reasonable.


 * Are the correct accounts selected in the Accounts tab.
 * In the Commodities tab, is the report set to US$
 * Check the other tabs and their options (show hidden, show zero
   balance, etc)
 * Did you "Close" the books at year end and are you excluding those
   entries in the reports

[GNC] Split Credit Card Transactions

[oldguardreindeer-junkmail--- via gnucash-user]

re this subject: At long last a step by step (blow by blow) line by line 
example of a credit card split transaction that I could follow. A great service 
to humankind!
[1] Here's the blow-by-blow of how I'd to it:
 a) Select the credit-card account and open it
 b) On the bottom line, set the date, if necessary, and enter 
``Sears'' in the Description field.
 c) Hit TAB, which opens new line with a Memo field, and the Account 
already filled in with the credit-card account.
 d) If you please, enter something for the Memo.
 e) Tab to the Increase column and type in 190.
 f) Tab to get a new line, which has the Decrease column filled in 
with 190.
 g) Tab to the Memo, enter ``Power saw''
 h) Tab to Account, enter or select Expenses:House:Maintenance
 i) Tab to Decrease, enter 150.
 j) Tab to get another line, which will have 40 in the Decrease
 k) Fill in the Memo with ``Sheets''; fill in Account with 
Expenses:Household; fill in Decrease with 30.
 l) Tab to get another line, which will have 10 in the Decrease
 m) I wouldn't put in a memo, because the account explains it all.
 n) Select Expenses:Tax:Sales tax for the account
 o) The Decrease is already the right value, so...
 p) Tab to get a new line.  It has no value entry, which tells you 
that your transaction balances and you're finished with this transactions.
 q) Type ENTER to finish.  All the lines collapse into one line with 
a Description of ``Sears'', and a Tot Increase of 190.  In the future 
you can select this line and it will show all the details.  (If it 
doesn't expand automatically, click on the Split button in the toolbar, 
or the menu entry Actions > Split Transaction.)

If this doesn't work for you, post the details and we'll try to 
figure out what's going on.

Re: [GNC] Fixing bad Bayesian data

[Geert Janssens]

GnuCash 3.x also has a new tool that allows you to erase bad bayesian data. 
There's no need to dive directly into the data files to make changes. This was 
contributed by Robert Fewell.

This tools is called "Import Map Editor" and can be found under the "Tools" 
menu.

Re: [GNC] Budget Issue

[David T. via gnucash-user]

Peter, Adrien,

I will start by saying that I am not a programmer, and am not the person to 
whom you should go to request software updates to GnuCash. 

Having said that, I am going to rain on the parade. In my 13 years using 
Gnucash, I've seen very little developer time or interest in the budget module. 

Here is a summary of the status of budget bugs currently in Bugzilla:

Resolution  Count   Average of Changed
--- 33  6/2/16
DUPL15  5/24/14
FIXE36  7/18/14
INCO4   12/18/13
INVA3   7/14/14
NOTA6   5/13/15
OBSO3   4/23/13
WONT4   5/18/13

Note that there are nearly as many open bugs as resolved ones. The “Average of 
Changed” figure is a quick and dirty evaluation of the last action taken on a 
given bug by category. It is based solely on the last date of action on a given 
bug, which says nothing about the overall age of a given bug. The table shows 
that the *average* date of resolution of FIXED bugs is in 2014, while the 
average date of new bugs is two years newer, suggesting that bugs continue to 
be filed, whereas resolutions are further in the past. Again, this is based on 
the last date any action was taken on a given bug; the oldest open bug in the 
data set (Bug 327636) for example, has a Changed date of 12/25/2015, whereas it 
was added on 1/18/2006; clearly, the age of open bugs is much greater than my 
quick measure, only amplifying my point.

Next, an examination of the github repository shows only a couple of technical 
changes to the main budget file (gnc-budget.c) over the last two years, while 
the last copyright date is 2006. I will note that I am not a programmer, and am 
certainly not skilled enough to determine the complete change history of this 
or other files in the GnuCash repository. There may have been changes to these 
files when the version control system was svn, rather than git.

There was some work by Phil Longstaff on gnc-budget-view.c in 2013 (based on 
the copyright statement), and some adjustments to what appear to me to be 
cosmetic aspects (based on github) in the last couple of years.

If you turn to the documentation, you will see practically nothing available in 
either the Tutorial or the Help. I have worked on the documentation for a 
number of years; when I attempted to solicit information on the lists about the 
budgets and the budget reports, I received very little assistance, and was 
unable to improve the docs in these areas.

All of this reinforces my belief that the budget system is for the most part a 
“what you see is what you’re going to get” piece of code. The significant 
issues that have been raised over the years have largely remained in place, and 
no one has embraced the challenge of rebuilding it (let alone documenting it). 
By all means, you can file bugs, but I wouldn’t expect to see any changes until 
and unless you’re willing to take them on yourself.

David

Peter,

I don’t generally maintain a working Windows system for testing and I probably 
can’t acquire a Win10 system easily though I have access to Win7. I can play 
around a bit, but otherwise, can’t help more—very sorry, maybe there is another 
Win10 user out there using the budget module on a regular basis who can chime 
in.

As for bugs/RFEs, your best bet is to simply file them, the sooner the better. 
It is possible one of the current developers is familiar with that particular 
part of the code and can jump right in. There’s also the possibility this is a 
section of code that doesn’t have an active maintainer and the solution might 
take more time. But at least a bug report will document and time-stamp the 
issue.

The budget module has seen very little ‘development’ as far as I can tell from 
its original implementation. I think it has only seen minor bug fixes. If you 
have some improvement RFEs, please submit them to scope the use case(s) that 
the developers can use if they tackle the project.

As for timeline, I think the developers have mentioned a few times here and on 
the gnucash-dev list that their current focus is cleaning up transition bugs 
from the migration away from 2.6.x and gtk2. When that is done, they intend to 
get back on track with the general development course outlined on the wiki. 
RFEs will follow after that unless they are really simple to implement on a 
quicker time frame. Of course, if any of the developers chime in with other 
info, their word holds, I’m just a daily user who helps out a bit in the 
community on the mailing list.

Adrien
