Hi Parag, I'm no linux expert but the following works for me on ubuntu... Open a terminal window and enter the following command to give Gnucash access to your usb drive. I believe this will only allow you to access your usb drive in addition to the usual limited flatpak file system access but a

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 3.7 - flatpak cannot recognize second internal HDD & USB Flashdrive

Frank, Thanks for the tip! I was trying "flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash --filesystem=/media//" but obviously the --filesystem option was in the wrong place :-) Cheers David H. On Mon, 8 Nov 2021 at 20:44, Frank H. Ellenberger < frank.h.ellenber...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Am 08.11.

[GNC] Bug in Quote to Balance Translation

Hi, I have a very weird behavior with quotes retrieved through finance quote with the price editor: I have a fund (Vanguard FTSE, IE00B3RBWM25) and retrieve a quote from fondsweb. Fond is in USD, default currency is EUR. I have an USD account, so also a translation USD->EUR is fetched. So far

I recently saw an article on the internet about how Warren Buffett values integrity in an employee more than any other trait. That works for Wikipedia's too. On Mon, Nov 8, 2021, 1:14 PM Frank H. Ellenberger < frank.h.ellenber...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Ken, > > Am 08.11.21 um 18:57 schrieb Ken F

Re: [GNC] Easter Egg in "Tip of the Day"

I've seen that quote before, but sadly I keep GnuCash running 24/7 and turned off the tips long ago. Thanks for the reminder! I've been using "The Twilight Zone" as my best analogy to explain recent times, but I wonder if Adams' quote isn't more accurate. If only we could find out who is res

Mark, I'm no expert, but my experience of the various cloud services under Windows is that their mappings as folders is not always what they appear to be. You may be running into some issue related to the following email on the list earlier: https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/202

Re: [GNC] My MacOS Finance::Quote Successful Tweaks

Ken, Sure all those things are good to have but it is also important to record your problem and the solution you found if it is a general problem. Someone can come along and tidy it up and put it into context later and add technical details if necessary but the chances are they won't unless there
