If you do a search for all files with file extension ".lck" what reason do you have to suppose that it is a lock file for a gnucach file? I will repeat, this is a rather common method for preventing simultaneous access to a resource. Do you KNOW that none of your other applications are usi

I know Michael. That's the whole point. Have you read the other threads from this OP? Their files appear to be a mess of backup files used as their book. And the OP still hasn't answered *how* they open their book, by app shortcut, or by clicking the file. I suspect clicking the file. And I s

Good afternoon: I am a first time poster, long time user of gnucash... I am trying to import a QIF file into gnucash. Gnucash is entering everything as a debit. I can't verify this but am being told that it works with Quicken. Is there a problem with the file or is there a problem with gnucash? I

I'm not so sure. Your reply prompted me to put it to the test, no pun intended. So I went back to the original entry and typed 'test' at the end of the description text. Lo and behold, the program froze on inputting 'tes' and also when deleting it the last 's' of the original entry. The truth is ou

After putting it off again and again, I'm finally ready to upgrade to a more recent version. 1. I'm on 2.6.19 now. I know conventional advice is to upgrade to the last minor version of each major version in turn. Do I really need to upgrade to 2.6.21 before 3.11? If I really need to I will, but if

Stan, If you have the resources, I think that the safest migration path would be to install the next level of GnuCash on a completely different computer or in a different user space on the same computer, and try it out on a separate test data file. This avoids all the potential issues of cross co

Thanks for the reply, David. Unfortunately I don't have the resources: just a desktop and a laptop, both of which are used for production. I'm not quite clear on your other suggestion, "in a different user space on the same computer". In Windows, the default location for installs is some subfolder

So if you create new entries with the word "test" it doesn't freeze but if you put "test" back into the "Car Annual Test" transaction it freezes? What happens if you create a new transaction with "Car Annual Test" for a description? My thought was that the position of "test" in that string might

No. You can't subdivide a penny. Your crypto exchange might tell you your account value in USD to fractions of a penny but if you close out the position and have them transfer the proceeds to a real bank account it will get rounded to the penny. You're not selling 76 "A" for 6/10 of a penny and

I guess I was either thinking of multi-boot systems or virtual machines when I said different user space. If you use virtual machines, you can have many machines in one computer, but that requires a very powerful computer and lots of drive space to implement. On Wed, Aug 2, 2023 at 7:20 PM Stan B
