Looks good. And this is definitely a better placement. Now, one wonders whether the name of the page ("PostgreSQL- Requests For Direct Database Access") would be better as "SQL For Direct Access to GnuCash Data"... Alas,  the power to rename pages reside with only an anointed few... ⁣David T.

David, I really like this, but I have a couple of comments With the "We will take the stock Amazon (AMZN) as an example", I would recommend: "We will take the stock Amazon as an example. It is traded on the NASDAQ under the stock symbol AMZN" In GnuCash 4.12 on my Mac, I don't have a "Type" field

Well David, I am happy to defer to your experience, however the screenshots contain GnuCash labels in the same language, so I am not sure how that works? I'll clean them up this week. Stay tuned. Geoff = On 11/10/2022 10:02 pm, David T. wrote: GnuCash is a multilingual application that i

Re: [GNC] Using GnuCash Wiki: Add Stock Page: Screenshots Added

GnuCash is a multilingual application that is translated into a bunch of languages. None of that can happen with your screen shots. You simply *must* remove the text embedded in images, so that users in other languages can translate the wiki into their language of choice. Not to mention users

Well, I'm not so sure about this one. I think it depends upon an individual's learning style**. Some people love to devour text, others delight in visuals. My personal preference, as I said in a previous reply, is to try and show the entire workflow from left to right. Granted the pink text

Re: [GNC] Using GnuCash Wiki: Add Stock Page: Screenshots Added

Hmmm, I've just had a look at this on my phone. As soon as you switch to a small screen device, *everything* in the Wiki switches to "minuscule text" mode, it's certainly not caused by my screenshots. A cursory inspection of the HTML headers shows that the Wiki framework seems to be a "legac

Hi David Thanks for the review. I tested this (on Windows) in Firefox, Chrome, and Edge; and (if the window wasn't wide enough) all browsers just created a horizontal slide bar and kept the original (non-minuscule) text size. What browser and operating system are you using? I did look at th

Further comment on your screenshots: it is infinitely better to put instructional text as actual text in the wiki page, rather than embedding in the screenshot itself. I'd ask you to edit those screenshots to remove the text. The circling is IMHO okay; the text, not. So, Click New Account [

Re: [GNC] Using GnuCash Wiki: Add Stock Page: Screenshots Added

Geoff, As it's a wiki, you just go for it. I was going to do just that, because your image width causes the browser page to shrink everything else on screen, making it incredibly hard for old eyes to read the (now miniscule) text. But, you've aggregated all the steps into one wide image. If
