As has been noted, in the lower-right corner by the progress bar there is a vanishingly quick display of a message that flies by in a small fraction of a second and appears to display in a very small font. In other words, not terribly useful. I wonder if the fleeting message is Ah .. not

grab a screen recorder (or your cell phone) and see if you can capture it. (I have set my phone on slo-mo-record, that works. ~mark petryk ~w:http://www.lorimarksolutions.com On 7/22/24 12:54, Art Chimes wrote: Original Poster here. Running Gnucash Version: 5.6 / Build ID: 5.6+(2024-03-30) Win

In the past there was a progress bar in the lower right of the window. It was vastly sped up in the 4 series. The last time I did a Check and Repair, I repeated it a few times in order to catch it. It may be so fast now that the progress bar is meaningless. On Sun, Jul 21, 2024, 19:57 Art Chime

Hi Art/GnuCash community, Just so we are all on the same page here, what operating system and version of GnuCash are you having the 'check & repair' issues on? --- Thanks, Brad - https://www.facebook.com/brad.morrison.12327/ & https://norcal.social/@BradMorrison On 2024-07-21 23:58, G R Hew

There is some visual feedback when using 'Check and repair' on the status bar bottom right, but blink and you will likely miss it. It would nice to have a pop-up that says something like 'C and R completed, no errors' or a list of corrected errors, if any. Feedback is important. On Mon, 22 Jul 202

If I'm not mistaken, when you upgrade, GnuCash will automatically make necessary adjustments to your file when things change internally from version to version. (for example, one version long ago, changed how time stamps were internally recorded, but nothing changed visibly to the user) Sometim

ISTR that the feature runs silently, and that in recent versions it runs rather quickly, such that the user doesn't even see any action. I agree it would be nice to have some concluding pop-up for informational purposes. ⁣David T. ​ On Jul 22, 2024, 5:57 AM, at 5:57 AM, Art Chimes wrote: >I d

I don't know whether the observed behavior (no feedback to user) is a bug or that the Check and Repair function is supposed to operate silently. I am hoping someone can clarify that. If I'm supposed to be getting some kind of report but I didn't get feedback, then it would seem to be a bug that I c

I've been having some reconciliation issues and thought the "check & repair" function might identify any possible problems. When I called that function from the "Actions" menu, nothing happened. Or at least, there was no indication visible onscreen that the account's transactions were being checke
