It bears repeating: the folder on Windows in which the gcm files live
(c:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash) is hidden by default.
File Explorer won't show it, and won't return it as a search result.
The About dialog since at least 4.13 (the version I'm running) includes links

Imight just create the base brokerage account and reparent the individual stock
and mutual fund accounts into the new brokerage.
Otherwise, zero dollar transactions sending shares only? Note that this would
likely affect capital gains calculations...

I misused Quicken; clearly I intended to say Intuit. As in, there is still no
documentation about Intuit's qbx format, while its other formats (qfx, etc.)
are well documented.
I'm reasonably certain that I made no mention of text editors. In fact, I'm
reasonably sure I suggested that OP cut ov
Fair enough. I just chuckled at the term.

This comes up with regularity on the lists as people look to abandon QuickBooks
and come to GnuCash.
There is an entry in the FAQ on the wiki
(https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_import_my_data_from_Quickbooks.28TM.29.3F)
that explains that QB uses a proprietary format that no one has

I see that your original question, "Where does the Starting Balance come from?"
was not answered.
The starting balance is calculated from *all* the transactions in the register
that are marked as reconciled already. Past, present, and future (if you happen

An alternative is simply to take the latest statement you have and reconcile
everything up to and including the transactions in the statement you are using.
Presumably, if everything is OK, then the closing balance should match. Of
course, any discrepancies force you to follow David C.'s advice.
The point for me is that (for the US at least), separating out the fees and
commissions actually masks the true cost of the investment. When I first
started tracking investments, I separated the fees and commissions, and it took
me forever to figure out why my gains calculations never matched th
Have you looked at any of your older physical register receipts in your file
folders recently? Many (most?) register receipts in recent years have used
thermal inks which fade after a short period of time (months). A scanned
receipt will be legible long after that receipt has faded...

No. $6 (real amount) and 13 GBP (another real amount) are entered. The ratio
between these two numbers will remain the same always.
But if GnuCash reports the price as 0.4615384615 and your broker says it's .46,

According to H&R Block, determining your basis involves "generally the purchase
price plus any commissions or fees paid."
So, unless I'm missing something, no, your brokerage *won't* report a gain in
this example, since gains are calculated against your basis, and not the price.
And basis inclu
