Hi, I don't think this can be done from within gnucash itself. Depending on how comfortable you are with python or database programming you can try to do it - via the gnucash python bindings (if they are available on your platform) - by saving your data into a database (from within gnucash->Save

How to close a financial year

Dear Friends, How does one close the file for one financial year and open a new one with the same account tree for the next financial year. I am not sure where in the manual these things will be covered. I managed to export my account tree but don’t know how to turn around and import it in a n

Anita,  This is discussed pretty much every year on the list. Try googling "close books gnucash site:lists.gnucash.org". You should find plenty of reading. David On Tue, May 16, 2017 at 14:41, Anita Graves wrote: Dear Friends,  How does one close the file for one financial year and open

When does GnuCash create .log files?

2017-05-16 Thread David Carlson
I used to think that GnuCash created .log files periodically when theauto-save interval has passed since the last edit. Now, it seems that GnuCash does a complete file save according to that interval. If that is the case, why have a .log file? David C

I didn't say that correctly. I meant that I thought that GnuCash created .log files periodically when the auto-save interval has passed since the next edit after the last save or auto-save. Then they would be useful if it had been a while since the last full save. With the current behavior (rele

I believe, perhaps incorrectly, that the .log files are updated when a change is made, and are dated based on the last (auto)save. So the most recent log file will have an entry for each transaction since the last save. On Tue, May 16, 2017 at 3:32 PM David Carlson wrote: > I didn't say that cor

To be useful the logfiles should be being written as each transaction is recorded rather than only at the end of a session. In the latter case if a crash/programming fault causes Gnucash to exit abnormally the log file would contain no useful information. Autosave should only be working on the main
