[GNC] [MAINT] (another) unplanned network outage for code.gnucash.org

2022-06-08 Thread Derek Atkins
Good morning all,

So after two days of being offline, here's another 7.  I had a power blip
last night around 12:30am and, due to the way everything is connected, my
switch decided to get its IP Address from my AT&T Router instead of my
home DHCP server, and all loads of fun ensued.  My Wifi wasn't working,
and even my ACTUAL DHCP server didn't work, so many machines that were
hard-wired didn't get an IP Address properly.

This morning I got up, unplugged the router from my switch, power-cycled
the switch, reset the DHCP server, and then rebooted all the machines that
got the wrong IP address...  SO... Everything SHOULD be up again, now.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I think I need to get my ER-4 back up so this doesn't happen again.

[GNC] How to train your GnuCash (before CSV transaction import) - but why?

2022-06-08 Thread viking2ev
I am trying to import several hundred transactions from several CSV files.
Each CSV file will be imported to one Bank account and each file has a
column with the Transfer Account for each Transaction; e.g. Another Bank,
Salary, Interest etc (using the full account names).

In the CSV importer, I select the Bank account that I want to import the
transactions to, and I select "Transfer Account" for my Transfer Account
Column and click on Next.

I get two columns: "Account ID" - which shows the Full Account Names for the
Transfer Accounts and "Account Name" which shows "No Linked Account" for
each transaction.

I then need to click on "No Linked Account" for each transaction and specify
the Account names again; i.e.
Bank 2  -- Bank2
Salary - Salary

Interest - Interest
etc.


I click on next twice and I could then import my transactions. I choose to
cancel at that point because I have now told GnuCash that Bank2=2,
Salary=Salary, Interest=Interest etc...



In the import Map Editor (non-Bayesian) it now shows that Bank2 matches
Bank2; Salary matches Salary, Interest matches Interest, etc..


Thus, if I now import my different bank accounts from the different CSV
files, the Transaction Accounts are recognized I can import each CSV file
directly. 

My question is:  Why do I need to link the Transaction Accounts to
themselves? I had expected GnuCash to recognize the Transaction account
names in the Transaction Account Column. Is there maybe a different way of
doing this so that the training/linking is not needed?

[GNC] Can I enter URL links on the Accounts Tree Page?

2022-06-08 Thread viking2ev
Can I enter URL links on the Accounts Tree Page? Best would be in the Notes
field for each account.

Clicking on the link would bring me to the financial institution homepage,
to a stock or mutual fund page etc.

I think that this is currently not possible..?
(I can of course add the URL to the Notes field but it is not a hyperlink. I
need to copy/paste the link into my browser). 

If not possible, where can I submit feature suggestions?

As you have noticed, you can enter the URL as text into the notes field,
but GnuCash will neither treat it like a hyperlink nor will it call out to
your browser.

> If not possible, where can I submit feature suggestions?

You are certainly welcome to file a RFE at Bugzilla, but I suspect that
this has a low probability of being implemented quickly unless some
developer really loves the idea (or someone else submits a patch to
implement it).

Happy Gnucashing!

Viking2ev,

I already do put URLs in the notes field for some Accounts and I have had
no problem with needing to select and copy the text in order to use it.  I
generally use it in a manner that cannot be simply hyperlinked anyway as I
use a special configuration for privacy.

Always conduct searches when viewing the main accounts tab, and if you

Having an account "in focus" when starting a search restricts the
search to that tab/account.

Either a neat trick or a trap for the unwary.

[GNC] Missing 2nd entry

2022-06-08 Thread Fred Tydeman
I just found a transaction that is not a double entry.
It is just a single entry.  Not sure how that happened.
When I click on Split to see the other side of the entry,
there is nothing.  Clicking on Jump does nothing.

With that strange transaction as the current entry:
Clicking on Actions->Check&Repair->This transaction
appears to do nothing.  Same for All transactions.

With all account tabs closed (so only the top level Accounts shows):
Clicking on Actions->Check&Repair->Check&repair all
runs for a minute or two and does not fix that entry, nor
make a new account for Unbalanced or similar.

I wonder if this unusual transaction is the cause of the
Trial Balance report crashing and giving me a traceback.
Equity Statement report also crashes with a similar traceback.

I am running GnuCash 4.10+(2022-03-26) on Linux.

Re: [GNC] Missing 2nd entry

2022-06-08 Thread davidcousens49
Fred,

If you go to the Accounts tab in the main window can you see either an Orphan or
Imbalance account with a non-zero balance. The transaction creation process and
the importer have never allowed you to create a transaction in GnuCash which is
unbalanced. I just tested it and tried to force creating an unbalanced
transaction in 4.10 (linux Mint 20.3) and you cannot do it. It automatically
creates the Imbalance account entry. Not sure if the datafile reading mechanism
enforces that condition when data is being read into GnuCash from a file or
database and a transaction record had been corrupted though. Have you manually
edited the datafile by any chance? Can you delete the transaction and if
necessary recreate it in balanced form?

Re: [GNC] Missing 2nd entry

2022-06-08 Thread Christopher Lam
It's possible to create a single split transaction. The only requirement is
that the transaction must be balanced i.e. the total is zero. Therefore,
create a zero-amount split and leave the "other account" field blank. If
this is not the case, then you'll have found a quantum anomaly in the
engine; a screenshot of the expanded (multi line) transaction will be
interesting to see...
