Hello,
I'm running GC4.10 on Win10, and I've been running into numerous crashes
in the last few days while trying to catch up on my finances.
Ironically, many of these crashes happen when I attempt to save my file.
My usual workflow when catching up is to open the pdf bank statement and
work
First, I'd reduce the steps before trying to save as a way of narrowing
down the trigger of the crash.
If you normally have many tabs open, particularly reports, perhaps
consider closing everything but the CoA, and then keep only the register
you need at one time.
Since it is so easy to do,
I'm not sure if it applies to this issue but there were issues fixed in
4.11 for crashes on Windows when closing without saving first.

I do not use ctrl-s. Where does that shortcut fall with the bug in release

The bug was if you closed the window with X or made selections on the popup
window for auto-save.
If you manually saved or let auto-save run, it worked as expected.

I didn't notice that spellchecker changed "wrt" to with, so insert the

Adrien,
Thanks for the suggestions.
It would seem to me that Finish/Ctrl-S is pretty reduced.
I currently have about 12 tabs open. 10 registers, the CoA, and one report
(granted, it's a multicolumn report).
Saving after every edit is a remarkably annoying idea, especially given how
long ea
Second thoughts. I decided to go with QFX files and they are much easier
to deal with. Thanks again for your help.

I have my original Gnucase file which has been continually used (for about
15 years) mainly as a simple check book app to replace Quicken. I am
motivated now to (1) improve the account structure and (2) start moving
toward a properly used double-entry system so I can use the full power of
Gnucash.
My data file is so big that it seems to tie up 1.5 gigs of Ram or more when
open, so most of my computers cannot run a web browser simultaneously with
GnuCash without using swap space and grinding down to a crawl. Even on my
highest performance machines it takes several seconds to save but I usual

Create a new file and start with 2022. Keep your old file for historical
data. Import data from banks and savings accounts and create your account

Yes, when OFX or QFX works it is a lot easier. Alas, some financial
institutions do not offer either of those formats and there are a small
number of institutions that do not follow the format rigorously enough to
be useful without some or a lot of pre or post processing during the import.
Also,

Thanks, Po. I'm too lazy to start over again, but I'm sure your method

Tom,
You can make accounts hidden. Edit the account in the Account tab and select the
hidden button in the dialogue. You can always then use the right click in the
Accounts tab, select Find Account and unhide them in future. If you delete an

Being able to transfer bank transaction data is a godsend.
I've found QIF file format more reliable to transfer transaction data from
financial institutions - except for from PayPal.
The Gnucash process isn't super obvious but works well. The auto recognition
of same transactions is excellent.

Tom, I only have personal accounts and have several download options at most of
them.
Your idea of keeping a copy 0 safe and editing copy 1 seems reasonable but with
15 years of data do you have an effective way to get rid of unwanted
transactions? How many years do you want to reformat and wh
[Apologies to David T for diverting this thread.]
FYI my main data file is 36MB on disc (XML format) and GnuCash has 85MB
of RAM allocated when I open it. It typically takes about 15 seconds to
start up and open, and about 3 seconds to save to disc (SATA SSD).

I am setting up OFX-DirectConnect backend in GnuCash and I enter all of the
information for the user and when I get to the end it asks you to request
the account list. I do that and the resulting output says:

Tom, forgive me if I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to
accomplish. (based on the initial direction of some of the replies,
perhaps I am not grasping the original question properly.)
But what do you mean by "ignore accounts"?
If you have any data in GnuCash, it *is* double entry. (GnuCas

I apologize if my response seemed testy. It's extremely frustrating to be
working on a large data set with lots of complex transactions ("How exactly
should the capital gains for a stock position with multiple purchase lots and
an intervening split be tracked?"), finally work out how those compl
If you set an account to Hidden, it will be... hidden in the chart of accounts.
Assuming that your messed up account is a catch-all account from which you hope
to move transactions, I'd actually keep that account visible, and change the
messed up transactions to reflect my current intention-- f
