I would think a Report Option for specifying the Labels might work better. Your idea would work, but only for one language at a time. Regards, Adrien On 7/6/22 4:55 PM, Paul Kroitor wrote: New idea: create a new localization for English-language Non-profits. This would allow us to change (whe

As a followup to my previous reply, you can submit a PR with the 'Non-Profit' version of the report for inclusion in a future release. This will then get translated as needed. Regards, Adrien ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To

Glad to hear it worked out! And thanks for reporting back with details. Others may have need for that report if you don't mind sharing, and if you think it is general enough. I think you can attach Scheme files here, but if not, posting a link to a file hosting site works too. (I'm not certai

New idea: create a new localization for English-language Non-profits. This would allow us to change (where necessary) the fixed strings throughout GnuCash to correspond with the appropriate Non-profit terminology. After all, the reporting is basically the same, it's just the terms that are diffe

Wow, that was simple. Everybody seems to be mortified of playing with the reports, but it took me under 15 minutes, counting reading the documentation and installing my code editor of choice (VSCode), which wasn't on this machine yet. Helpful things to know (although they are easy to discover a

Ah, I see the problem now. Check the wiki concerning custom reports. You could edit the report's hard-coded total labels and then add that report to your menu. Odds are, you don't have to know Scheme either. Just do a Find/Replace on the report code for whatever you want to change and then ad

Thanks for the response, Stan, although I'm afraid I haven't been clear. It's not the report title that's the issue, it's the app-generated lines in the report like "Retained Earnings" and "Total Liabilities and Equity". These things are presumably kept in the localization files, because they ch

Well, yes, this is admittedly true. Almost everything would wind up having to be edited anyway. But still it would be good to reduce the list of mandatory replacements one had to make for every formal report. Is there any general interest for a Non-profit attribute (flag) in the book indicatin

Well actually, no, I hadn't, but not because I didn't think of it. I skipped it because I'm using a French chart of accounts in the file I'm testing with, and so it was already called "Capitaux propres", which is French for Equity. However, as an example, the Balance Sheet from my (English instal

2022-07-06 Thread John Layman
My message was hasty, as I subsequently realized that editing the Display Symbol merely caused the related line to be redisplayed. The redisplay does eliminate the double spacing, but not the root of the problem. If the file or account tab is closed and reopened, the extra spacing reappears. The
