Re: [GNC] De-Reconciliation Settings

David, At first, I was going to suggest always editing a reconciled transaction from the account you do the reconciliation on. Of course, that isn’t always part of the workflow, and isn’t always optimal. And then, based on what it appear you are describing though in a different case, I conside

Re: [GNC] Account remains red after void that would put it in black

Have you tested the following: Delete the transaction instead of using the `Void Transaction` function? Add a reversing transaction either manually? or using the `Add Reversing Transaction` function? Curious to see if this discrepancy holds against all workflows. Regards, Adrien > On May 1,

Re: [GNC] Account remains red after void that would put it in black

I’ve seen zero as a negative (or red) number before with other applications. (notably, OOo/LO Calc) It usually results from a rounding situation where the color is set before the rounding down to zero. So the real amount was a negative closer to zero than `-1`. It is fixable, but would require

Jeff, Assuming that you're referring to the figures in the reconciliation window, I have noticed that issue as well. It seems that once they are displayed as red, the color setting is never revisited. I just ignored it, knowing that the color was wrong; since a red zero (I never knew that ze

Adrien, AQBanking *will* drop DTAUS support in Version 6 when that's released. As of today it still hasn't been, and the Windows and MacOS bundles still provide AQBanking 5.7.8, the latest stable release that still supports DTAUS and includes dtaus.xml. Regards, John Ralls > On May 1, 2019,

I had quicken for a decade or more. Several accountant / bookkeepers worked on it with me. I've found a transaction, now imported into GNUCash, that I feel may have been entered less than optimally. It's dated 4/9/2015 however I suspect it was entered at some other time when someone made an ad

Is this a know bug? and/or could someone forward it to gnucash-devel if appropriate? Windows 10 GNUCash version Version: 3.5 Build ID: 3.5+(2019-03-30) I'm balancing a checking account. It has a positive amount for Present and Future in black. I don't specifically remember the Balance column.

Jeff, All three of those would be nice options. On that last one, office apps usually have a Find along with a more powerful Find & Replace as separate dialogs with their own shortcuts. (you don’t have to replace if you don’t want to, but the Find is more powerful in that iteration). I conceive

As noted by Maf., 2.1.16 is ancient. It will not read the 3.x file. (if you got that far) I don’t think 2.1 will even install on Win10. (if you can even find it) dtaus.xml has to do with Aqbanking. (allows you to make a transaction in your bank account *from* GnuCash) They dropped DTAUS support

The major pain, for me at least, is not so much the ^F but the constant changing of the 'Find Transaction' options from 'Description' to 'Value' It's the only way I've used ^F so far - Value and has credits or debits -> equal to. I can see that flexibility of 'Find Transaction' will be very use

I would think having to move the window around/send it to the background (and then bring it up front again when you need it) is more of a pain than hitting ^F / ⌘F. Remember, GnuCash has to accommodate many screen sizes, not just people with 1080 and larger WXGA displays that have the room to k
