It's a long-standing request, enhancement requests have been entered, but the developers have not taken them up. Can someone draw their attention to this one? Judging from traffic on this list, it really is a problem for many, many new users of GnuCash. -- Stan Brown Tehachapi, CA, USA https://Br

That's for accounts, e.g. Assets:Current:Bank of America:Checking. Tony is asking about ',' and '.' to separate parts of a number. That's driven by locale settings, so have a look at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Locale_Settings. Remember that GnuCash is *not* a native Windows app and doesn't u

Re: [GNC] Wrong numeric separators in new file

Tony, I don't think there are any explicit settings for the separator within GnuCash. It is likely the defaults are being picked up from the locale setting on your computer. The Edit->Preferences dialog on the Numbers,Date Time tab has a setting for the Date format which can be set to a few spec

Re: [GNC] Avoiding fractions in invoice reports

I think there was a time early in the 3.x release series where stock prices were displayed as fraction s but later there was a way to display as decimal which we find easier to read. I am not sure if your issue is the same or not. On Sun, Feb 28, 2021, 4:34 PM Macho Philipovich wrote: > Hi th

Hi there, I've noticed that recently the Quantity and Tax Rate fields have started displaying as fractions instead of decimal numbers in invoice reports. So on the tax invoice report what I now see is, e.g., "3/2" for a quantity when I had input 1.5, which I don't want, and the invoice is also no

My entry was backwards; you have the income entry, but you need a cash account to receive the gains. It doesn't belong in the commodity account. Original Message From: "D. via gnucash-user" Sent: Sun Feb 28 16:02:47 EST 2021 To: Evelyn Yamanaka Cc: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Su

Re: [GNC] How to enter zero-share transaction splits in an Asset:Stock account?

Evelyn, It sounds as if you're trying to enter the currency-denominated entry on the same split as the initial anchor split. In other words, you're putting your capital gain figure on the same split line as your anchor split, which must be in the commodity. Gnucash tries to straighten that out

Re: [GNC] Moving Log Location

I understand the points about moving the main file into its own folder and letting all the logs and versions build up there. It would be helpful, though, for Gnucash to offer the option to dedicate a separate backup or logs directory for logs and versions. Guess I could submit that as a feature req
