John, Thanks for the pointer on how to get a stack trace. I will see whether I can find anything useful. Either way, I will try the Sqlite3 backend eventually. I do have File History turned on and I actually did use it to recover a file once. I'll have to learn more about how to recover from po

Remember that you can get automatic save on each transaction by switching to the Sqlite3 backend by using File>Save As... and selecting Sqlite3 from the drop-down at the top of the dialog box. Note that Sqlite3 changes the file in place so there are no GnuCash backups. Set up File History or som

I have a similar problem. It occurs in both 4.10.x and 4.11. I think it also occurred in 4.9 but can't remember. I encountered it on windows 10 and windows 11. I run Gnucash monthly. Importing CSV bank and credit card statements always works. I don't import investment transactions as massagin

I apologize if my response seemed testy. It's extremely frustrating to be working on a large data set with lots of complex transactions ("How exactly should the capital gains for a stock position with multiple purchase lots and an intervening split be tracked?"), finally work out how those compl

[Apologies to David T for diverting this thread.] FYI my main data file is 36MB on disc (XML format) and GnuCash has 85MB of RAM allocated when I open it. It typically takes about 15 seconds to start up and open, and about 3 seconds to save to disc (SATA SSD). Windows 10, 8GB RAM, Intel i7-3

I wasn't trying to cause you work, just offering ideas on tracking down the cause. Eliminating variables is part of that process. Lots of tabs and especially reports open = variables. I'm going to hazard there is a report that feeds off one of those registers (likely the one you are reconcilin

My data file is so big that it seems to tie up 1.5 gigs of Ram or more when open, so most of my computers cannot run a web browser simultaneously with GnuCash without using swap space and grinding down to a crawl. Even on my highest performance machines it takes several seconds to save but I usual

Adrien, Thanks for the suggestions. It would seem to me that Finish/Ctrl-S is pretty reduced. I currently have about 12 tabs open. 10 registers, the CoA, and one report (granted, it's a multicolumn report). Saving after every edit is a remarkably annoying idea, especially given how long ea

The bug was if you closed the window with X or made selections on the popup window for auto-save. If you manually saved or let auto-save run, it worked as expected. On Tue, Jul 19, 2022 at 10:58 AM David Carlson wrote: > I do not use ctrl-s. Where does that shortcut fall with the bug in > rele

First, I'd reduce the steps before trying to save as a way of narrowing down the trigger of the crash. If you normally have many tabs open, particularly reports, perhaps consider closing everything but the CoA, and then keep only the register you need at one time. Since it is so easy to do,

Hello, I'm running GC4.10 on Win10, and I've been running into numerous crashes in the last few days while trying to catch up on my finances. Ironically, many of these crashes happen when I attempt to save my file. My usual workflow when catching up is to open the pdf bank statement and work
