[GNC] Problems organizing accounts to process reimbursement of expenses

Hello, I'm trying to set up an account scheme that adequately tracks expenses that the business reimburses me for due to using a home office. This is separate from using a business credit card, because only a portion is reimbursable. The relevant accounts in my personal book are: Checking accou

Re: [GNC] How to transfer investment

Open the account you're transferring from. On a new transaction line, in the transfer column, select the account the shares are going to. Enter the shares as a negative number, and a current share price (you have to put something there). click on the 'show all splits in the current transaction'

[GNC] Credits

Hello, I would like to know how credits are used in GNUCash.  I am running 2.6.19 on Ubuntu.  I have a client that I want to start off with credits.  I put in a credit while opening the new customer dialogs.    I just posted an invoice to the account and when I went to pay it, the credits did

Re: [GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

Haha, less is more, I don't like/use autosave either just save when I want to so maybe that's why the manual adjustment works ok for me :-) Cheers Dave H. On Sun, 15 Dec 2019 at 09:15, David Carlson wrote: > David H, you have a good memory. I found < > https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=

Re: [GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

David H, you have a good memory. I found < https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796736> which shows the same problem with the date. However, the penultimate comment by John Ralls states that when the size is manually set it should stick for subsequent use. I personally have found that it is

Re: [GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

I don't use any of the business features/invoices either but this is the default behaviour in normal account register windows on Win 10 as well. I get around it by manually widening all date columns to allow for the drop down arrow when the date is highlighted. If I double click the header to aut

Re: [GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

Hmm... I didn’t notice this back when I was using 3.6 but it might have happened for me as well. I’m presently on 3.7 and I’ve since upgraded to Catalina. Perhaps try 3.7 on Mojave and see if the problem is resolved. (3.7 was released in September, and another is on the way at the end of this m

Re: [GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

When I asked about date format I was mainly fishing for more details about when and how this happens. I too have changing widths but I see that mostly when I copy the GCM stuff from one machine to another with a different display size, so I write it off to that, where it would be expected. David

Re: [GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

Now we making some progress! Since I do not use invoices and I am also living in the past on release 2.6.19 in Linux, my experience is not germane, but I will note that I see a tendency in regular account register windows for the date fields (and the three amount fields) to change width from week

Re: [GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

Why would the format of the date have any effect on this? Whether it is 12/12/2019 or 12/12/2019, the sequence of elements is immaterial. I should clarify that I see this in the registers, not invoices. I should also say that it appears to me that the column width gets set, and then the drop do

Re: [GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

Manually widening the date field applies only to that invoice, and only as long as the invoice's tab is open. If I close the invoice's tab and reopen I get a narrow date fields again. Creating a new invoice also results in a narrow date field. As far as I can tell no adjustment to field width

Re: [GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

Ah, now I understand. Curious that it doesn’t show the entire first part of the date by default. (it does for me) If you manually make the column wide enough to show the full date, (drag the right-hand header divider to the right) and then post that invoice, does the next new invoice carry ove

Re: [GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

I use day.month.year (Europe). PDFs are ok - I see no correlation between the column widths within GC and how the PDF appears. Changing to US format doesn't help. See below. It looks like today is February 14th! http://essbaum.com/images/US.png - Axel — Axel Essbaum a...@essbaum.com >

Re: [GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

David T, Since you are seeing the same issue as Axel, I have to ask: Do you use a Day/Month/Year date format or Month/Day/Year? Does that make a difference? and for both David and Axel, When invoices are printed, are the printouts also cut off? There has been a lot of discussion here but so f

Re: [GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

What is the date for the bottom line (the line with the widget) in the image? It appears to be 1.12.19 but it's actually 11.12.19 (the first "1" is chopped off and not visible). - Axel — Axel Essbaum a...@essbaum.com > On 14 Dec 2019, at 14:10, Adrien Monteleone > wrote: > > If the firs

If the first image is the default, (as it is for me) what is the problem? Every part of the date is visible even with the widget. Regards, Adrien > On Dec 14, 2019 w50d348, at 2:37 AM, Axel Essbaum wrote: > > > When I double-click the date header the date field shrinks to the width of > the

Re: [GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

When I double-click the date header the date field shrinks to the width of the date text (xx.xx.), which is actually worse than how it started. First image is how the date field is sized when I create an invoice http://essbaum.com/images/GC_before.png After date field double click: http://
