[GNC] Process leak on Windows 11
The current version of GnuCash (5.4-1) leaks a process each time on exit. So, if a user were to open and close GnuCash multiple times, their system memory will keep leaking. At the moment, the only way to kill leaked processes is to open Task Manager, search "GnuCash", and quit each one of them.

Yes, that's https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799092, fixed three weeks ago by https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/commit/a389e0a32e9c835218341264e49477e0c51fb333. Use a recent nightly build from https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/stable.

[GNC] Automatic Counters
Greetings: I have been using GNUCash for years with little issues. Recently, I think after I did my last update, the automatic counters stopped working for me. Now, no matter what number is placed in the various counters, when I add a new document it will put 1 in as the document number regardless of whether it has been used or not. Have I done something to change that? Any help would be appreciated. Best, Timothy Timothy B. Jones, Ed.D.

Re: [GNC] I need basic help
If I can add my own beginner’s 2ç: One breakthrough came for me when I realised that the statement of financial position is basically a catalogue of what would happen if you were to die* right now. All that’s owed to you (debits) gets given to others (credits). Your net position is always zero: as they say, you can’t take any of it with you. *Or if your company were liquidated.

[GNC] Australian Accountants familiar with GNUCash
Is there a list of Accountants for each country looking for work that is familiar with GNUCash? I just got off the phone from an accountant that had agreed to take on my company to find out he still has not done anything and said it was going to be expensive due to his unfamiliarity with GNUCash, and that they are already behind with their existing workload. So - Is there any accountants on the list looking for work with all my book keeping up to date in GNUCash?

Re: [GNC] Australian Accountants familiar with GNUCash
Hello Michael That's a very common story with accountants in Australia these days - they have often put themselves into a relationship with Xero, MYOB or Reckon and prefer you to use "their" system. Unfortunately, I don't know of the existence of any such list I know an accountant who has, for at least one business, accepted printed P&L & Balance Sheet from a 2002 version of Quickbooks together with end of year bank statements - he has never wanted to get the info on disk/USB as his lackies just enter the financial data (from P&L & Balance Sheet) into their software and check bank balances etc, so the same should be achievable for GNUCash. Other documentation such as a Trial Balance (to show accounts are balanced) can also be easily generated from GNUCash. I also know a small not-for-profit charity that keeps their books with GNUCash and it is perfectly acceptable for their situation - with that one, however, I happen to be acting as their accountant! (this is not a commercial for my services by the way!) Keep in mind that you might be able to export the financial data in a form which the accountant could then import into her/his software, so it might be worth asking her/him what format is acceptable - that way you may avoid labour charges for keying in data. Perhaps you might need to look for another, possibly small, accountancy firm? Sorry I couldn't be of more help - someone like Flywire might have suggestions for you or know of such a list. Good luck!

[GNC] Assigning payment inside a split
I was trying to assign a payment to a transaction inside a split (a parent transaction). However, to my surprise, this action resulted not only the child entity assigned as a payment, but also the rest of the siblings merged together and assigned as a payment to the same bill. I ended up with loosing the split completely, and the bill got messed up as well. Is this a bug or did I do something wrong here? Using GC version 5.4 on Mac with Postgresql as the back-end DB.

Good point, which is probably why schools are the worst place to send your child, 'One size fits all'.
