I switched from XML to SQLite about a year ago. I perceive a performance improvement on loading, but that’s about it. (and I generally never shut the app down anyway) I haven’t attempted any custom reporting yet, but I plan to. I could be mistaken, but I think PyCash is designed to parse the XM

Dear All, XML is the default when creating a new file. I have seen various quite dated questions about the decision process of selecting which db to use. I think that the main advantage of using MySQL would be the ability to generate custom reports. Are there any other advantages and are ther

I won't be bundling Gnucash for PPC after 2.6.20, for lack of a suitable--i.e. C++11 capable--compiler. Linux runs well on PPC machines and GnuCash passes Debian's tests on their PPC buildbot, so that's the way to go if you're still running an old PPC mac. Regards, John Ralls > On Jan 26, 201

I have not yet tried this yet with GnuCash on the G4 and G5 PPC Macs we still have, but it is possible to install FreeBSD 64 bit on the G5 Macs, which does have some virtualisation (weird, but impressive). That would be a "corner case" scenario for what I'm guessing are a very few GnuCash users. A

If they are allocations from the parent then the parent should have the reversing entry already and it should wash. The only issue would be if you transfer from say Checking to a sub of Savings. Regards, Adrien > On Jan 26, 2018, at 5:47 AM, Maf. King wrote: > > On Friday, 26 January
