That’s not true, Adrien. When I first started using GnuCash, I thought I’d go
with MySQL database and that’s where I found both debug and standard packages
available for download. Of course, I settled on compressed xml later because I
find it easier to backup one file instead of a database.

Peter,
Their are a couple of preference entries which can help make things a bit
clearer. Under the Edit Preferences dialog in the Register defaults there are 3
options basic Ledger, Autosplit Ledger and Transaction Journal. These control
how a transaction is displayed in the register for an accou
If we are talking disk space, my personal finances and lots of daily stock
quotes for several years fit into a gnucash file of 2.8MB, but in my dir I have
239MB of 92 files accumulated for this quarter, each a full snapshot of one
moment. This is gzip'd xml, not any RDBMS flavored version. If
When you say "bank card", are you talking about something like a debit
card, or a credit card?
Also, was this at one shop where you spent 7.24?
If it is a debit card (money comes directly from the bank account, in
contrast to a credit card, where charges accumulate, and you pay them off
monthly),
I couldn't tell what he was talking about... I first thought it may have
been the size of the file on disk (mine is 1.6M) , and then maybe the
entire folder (I have the data stored in it's own folder, keeping 30 days,
and it's about 152M). Then it sounded like he was talking about memory
usage.
At this point things look good. So what does one do next? Press
Return seems like a safe bet. However it is far from it. All that
happens is that the whole transaction disappears. The alternative,
using another Tab is almost as bad. The £1.99 debit in Groceries is
now replaced by a £5.2
Just out of curiosity, I started GnuCash on my iMac, and then looked at the
Activity Monitor; it says it is using 168M. I may try this on Ubuntu and
Windows later, just to see how it compares.

Based on your description, I can see that you understand the concept but

One is the transaction autotill or autocomplete (not sure what the official

that is the proper way to commit the transaction. There's nothing random

If you are viewing a register that is not one of those you are entering

Pete,
You're on the right track. If the transaction disappears after you press
return to commit it, it sounds like you are not entering this transaction
from any of the registers involved, or if you are in one of the registers
involved the date you entered is out of the range of dates displayed f
I don't think any such packages are pre-built, and they certainly aren't
available to mistakenly download.

I did succeed in building once - I’m not sure how hard it will be to reproduce
that success.
The latest stable build is late September (which is what I’m running). I
don’t recall how long until the next release. I was able to pull in the file
using csv.

Having today transferred all my data from Quicken to GNUCash I am just

Actually, not a specific gnucash question and while I am US (and file

I think the originator of this thread was talking about file size on
disk. My guess is they're saving to uncompressed XML or something. I've
got files with 10 years of data, many accounts, lots of securities, lots
of price data. Only need ~870KB of disk space as a compressed XML file.

People get excited about this all the time, sadly! RAM usage is more a
developer concern. Modern OS use virtual memory, so the RAM is redistributed
based on usage. A page of RAM (usually 4,096 bytes) may be true virtual

You can switch to the double line register and you'll see the attachment
icon for the transactions that have it.
