Re: [GNC] Accessing data on a windows share from a link app, (Brad Morrison)

[Mike Brady]

Thanks for the pointer. From there, I found the "uservoice" system and 
added a feature request to always have a 2-digit minor version (e.g. 
6.00, 6.01, etc). Perhaps this is related to the kind of Windows bug 
that prevented a version 9, allegedly because it could be confused by 
some update or audit software with 95 or 98.

Michael,

Sorry, no, I’ve been busy with other stuff and haven’t had time to work on it.

 Michael,
 
 OK, that explains what happened.  There should be weekly Time Machine 
 backups between 9 November and 22 December. Is 22 December the first one 
 with empty Account sections? Does the disappearance of the Account 
 sections correspond to any event you can think of, like the first time you 
 used GnuCash 5.10  or opening the saved report in the wrong book that you 
 mentioned in your letter introducing this thread.
 
 There’s one other thing in that letter that I don’t understand:

You certainly can. Once you have signed up at the GnuCash bugzilla, you can 
submit a request.

Thanks; I was uncertain of the accounting way (or even the GnuCash way) of
recording a cost basis reduction.

Fortunately, another person was able to point me to a return-of-capital
transaction sample in the guide, and that was exactly what I needed.

[GNC] Error starting app

[Jonathan Chandler]

I get the following error when I try staring Gnucash
[image: image.png]

Not sure if it relevant but was fine before a Windows 10 update a couple of
days ago. Following this the PC wouldn't boot and eventually it came back
in recovery mode and did a disk repair then seemed Ok
Many thanks

Any thoughts?

Thank you!


Not a gnucash question (yet). The accounting question presumably what 
accounts to debit or credit. When you received this special "dividend" 
check should have been debit cash (your bank account) and credit the 
basis of the security (what you paid for it. NOW a gnucash question, and 
I can't help, as do not account for stocks in gnucash.

Re: [GNC] Saved reports "forget" their target accounts

Any progress on this bug report?

I reported a method by which I can reliably reproduce this behaviour a week 
ago, and am happy to investigate further given some guidance as to what would 
be helpful.

[GNC] Cost basis adjustment

[flywire]

I do enough of these to avoid keyboard entry by stripping the data from the
annual pdf statement. eg:
* from
https://github.com/flywire/ETF-Annual-Statement/blob/main/Tax/VAS-annual-tax-statement-2018.pdf
* to
https://github.com/flywire/ETF-Annual-Statement?tab=readme-ov-file#sample-output

I dump all the cost basis adjustments into the one account but it could
easily be written to the security account.
