To get the Mac Specs, go to the Apple symbol in the upper left corner, and select "About This Mac"... There is an overview screen with information, and you can select "System Report..." for additional information. On Thu, Dec 1, 2022 at 7:32 PM ph hermes wrote: > hi david you know i'm no tec

Sometimes Check & Repair can take a while, some folks have reported an hour or more in rare cases. It has always been a second or two for me. - Usually when apps close unexpectedly like that, your Mac will generate a Crash Report and show it on screen. (and give you the option to relaunch

Hmm... First, since you upgraded, if you didn't already do so, run: Actions > Check & Repair > Check & Repair All If something is off with the underlying data, it could be wrecking havoc with report code as that seems to be the area at issue. Run from the Terminal to see if there is any usef

So just to be clear, you're running on an M1/M2 Mac - perhaps provide machine specs ? Anything meaningful in the trace file - https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile ??? Cheers David H. On Thu, 1 Dec 2022 at 01:56, ph hermes wrote: > yes. dragged into applications. yes started from there and

I think these numbering conventions have been in place almost as long as Microsoft has used local time for time stamps in MS-DOS. I think they should not be abandoned until the respective media are abandoned. On Mon, Nov 28, 2022 at 4:32 PM William Prescott wrote: > While I agree that 4.01, 4.0

While I agree that 4.01, 4.02, ... 4.10, 4.11, 4.12 would be more rational, in fact it is traditional or at least extremely common in version numbering to use: 4.1, 4.2,... 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12 etc. In fact, 4.01 would have different implications about the nature of the release than 4.1. 4.01

Re: [GNC] can't create a transaction report

This brings up a good point; perhaps GnuCash should always use two-digit numbering; instead of 4.1, 4.2,... 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, use 4.01, 4.02,... and so on. That way, people won't confuse 4.1 and 4.10 (or think that 4.2 is newer than 4.12 because 4.2 is a bigger number than 4.12). On Sun, Nov 27

That's normal. You are 'installing' it, correct? That is, opening the .dmg you downloaded, then dragging and dropping the GnuCash icon to your /Applications folder, then running it from /Applications or via Launchpad or your Dock. (you will likely have to open it twice, the first time is just
