[GNC] Gnucash 3.0 fails to launch on Windows 10

Good Morning, I use Windows 10 build 16299 and am a happy user of Gnucash 2.6.20. I have installed Gnucash 3.0 three times. Each time after installation, Gnucash 3.0 has failed to launch. My datafile is 18MB. Any suggestions please? Peter ___ gnucash-use

[GNC] future of custom reports in 3.x

Hello, while having problems to load certain (ytd-budget.scm) report in 2.6.20 under (Fedora) Linux i nthe attempt to return back to GnuCash from (h)ledger, I wonder if there is some plan in regard to the future of custom reports, iow. is it still recommended to learn some Scheme in order to achie

Re: [GNC] future of custom reports in 3.x

I wonder the same too. Although new reports are enough for me now. But I had to delete lots of old custom reports because they no more worked (or compiled) But in future I may want to have my own custom reports. I wish there was GnuCash library with we could simply call Gnc_LoadFile("path")

[GNC] "No suitable backend" error for database backed gnucash file

Using Gnucash on MacOS, I got this error trying to open a recently created file which I think I based on a database back-end instead of the standard. I have upgraded to 3.0 in the meantime and thought it was the problem. But I realized when I finally was able to start a v2.6.20 on an older MacOS1

If the backend is installed (as it was for me, I simply upgraded GC) then you might need to modify the environment file in the 3.0 app’s bundle. Look in this month’s archives on the list for a post by me on the same topic. I didn’t get a reply, but I found that solution via a bug report that Joh

Re: [GNC] Budgeting loans

That's what I did. I made an assett account for each of my loan payments (1 mortgage, 2 car payments.) Would be nice if GnuCash was able to handle this internally somehow. I'm trying to do a "budget to zero" approach and the loan payments were my last holdup. Andy On Sun, Apr 8, 2018 at 12:19

How are you running it? Perhaps it is running the old version. Run it by explicilty specifing the the full path the the executable from the terminal, something like /usr/local/bin/gnucash or wherever you installed it. If still no joy check the timestamp on the file you are running and make sure

Ok, I suppose. I would have EXPECTED a release to be built from the master branch. I don't understand why git clone https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash.git is tied to the unstable branch - but if it is, then it makes sense that you would want to reverse merge it down. Why do you do it th

It's tied to unstable because that's been the primary working branch for the last 6 months or so. The testing period branches have been beaten to death here and in devel over the last several months, if you're really interested search the list archives or read https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Git#B
