File signatures??

Hi, I think this is the right venue to ask this question. If not, I can hopefully get a pointer to where else to turn. I need to figure out what - if any - file signatures could be used to identify gnucash data files. The need arises from a harddisk crash and recovery effort, the result of

Hi Matt. What do you mean by category structure? If you're talking about the Chart of Accounts (ie the "tree"), that is stored in the data file. Recover it (or one of the auto-backup copied in the same directory) and I'd expect all to be well. Custom reports are in ~/.gnucash/saved-reports-2

I am thinking of creating a new report based on the comparison-transaction report I created. The new report would allow you to control what is shown in each column for example: ExpensesMe mate Kid#1Kid#2 Food clothing Hobbies or you could report Expenses

Hi Doug,I could really use such a report as long as it is flexible enough to select any accounts on the left side (for rows).Where would the columns labels come from? Will they be also any accounts or will they be names used in the Description field?Thank youDorel On Thursday, June 29, 2017, 8:

I’ve seen several threads and bugs requesting class functionality to enable reports for example 2 & 3. I’m sure there will be other examples. Certainly I would appreciate this ability. Since the jobs feature only applies to a customer OR a vendor and can’t involve regular transactions, a report

You will be able to select which accounts will be shown on the left side. I am planning on using a set of find command for each of the columns. You will be able to find an account name or find a string of characters in a description, memo or note, which ever you choose, along the lines of *Colu

Sorry, I misread your question. Each of the column headings will be user input, on the same tab as the find entries. Also, planning on having a check box so you can select if the column should be included this time or not. On Thu, Jun 29, 2017 at 12:27 PM, Dorel Ciornei wrote: > Hi Doug, > I co

Hi Doug I'd be keen to hack scheme to modify the source "Accounts" tree which is common to several report types. Right now you select your originating accounts, and when you 'save' the report options, the account guid are hardcoded into the options. This causes issues if we modify the chart of ac
