Greg, In addition to Google and Yahoo, that search filter Stephen noted should also work with DuckDuckGo, StartPage and Bing if you are more comfortable using them. Enter your desired normal search phrase after the filter text. Yes, you’ll need to ‘install’ the GnuCash.app on the Mac you intend

Re: [GNC] Working with compound interest on varying amounts

GnuCash requires Python3 for the python bindings, and in order for them to work in the bundle I’d have to add python3 to it. It’s too big to burden the 99% of users who aren’t interested in Python bindings so it’s not in the bundle. If you’re comfortable building software you can also build your

Re: [GNC] Working with compound interest on varying amounts

The API documentation is at https://code.gnucash.org/docs/MAINT . It’s for the C/C++ API but the python bindings follow that pretty closely; there’s some python-specific documentation at https://code.gnucash.org/docs/MAINT/python_bindings_page.html

This gave me enough to tell me it’s worth it to take time to look into this. (I’ve found so many times I can spend hours or more just looking into questions on some programs only to find out I can’t do anything close to what I want or need to do.) Often I find it helps to just ask a community

I am getting a kind of display corruption when editing currency prices. I have the currency price database open, on top of the main GnuCash window, and am editing an individual currency so there is a pop-up editor on top of the price database. The second window is displayed wrong - like part

If you try to open the file with a text editor (I used Atom, because TextEdit complained about something wrong with UTF-8 in the file) you will see this at the beginning: SQLite format 3 If it is an sqlite format. If it is the compressed XML, you’ll see gibberish/non-printable character. If

Your Windows setting is to hide file extensions. You can change that if you prefer. Then you would see the ".log" appended to what you have listed here.  On Tue, Dec 4, 2018 at 15:17, Gareth Davies via gnucash-user wrote: Hi, Maf Strange, in the actual folder it looks like I have shown
