Well, I don't have any skin in the game, since both my computers have
64-bit Windows. It just seems a pity to shut out the minority who have
32-bit Windows.
But that's a development decision, so I won't keep harping on it.

Hi all,
Does GNC provide any mechanism for comparing two versions of the same set
of accounts?
I'll be sending my books to my accountant soon, and I imagine they will
have some corrections/adjustments. I'll be giving them a laptop with GNC
installed, so they can most easily browse, and it occurs
The quick and dirty solution is to save a copy of what you send to the
accounts, under a different name (say: B4A) and when you get back the file from
the accountants review the accounts tab of the B4A with the returned file.
That will tell you which accounts have a change in value. You can th
Just make sure that after you save a copy (B4A) that you aren't using
that file going forward as GC usually opens the last saved file.
Unless you have "told" gnucash not to.
Those of us who are keeping multiple sets of books (f0r multiple
entities) can make like easier by using the --nofile
Considering that the last 32-bit processor from Intel was the Pentium 4E
released in 2004 and the last AMD one was 2005's K5 it's a tiny minority.
Regardless of Win11's ability to run 32-bit programs, it requires a 64-bit
processor (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specificatio
Well, that's one possibility I suppose.
Is this not a feature that would find fairly widespread use? Indeed, is it
not a feature that might facilitate easier use of the software and
encourage wider adoption?
I'm still holding out hope that it might exist already :)
Thanks for the suggestion Gyle
One option might be to use the data log files, information in 2.5.2 here:
https://code.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/basics-backup1.html
I have not played around with those much, but I suspect you could backup your
master set of books (3-2-1 backup strategy might be used here), and then make
However, I think there were later, technically 64-bit processors that
did not include a few required 64-bit instructions (eg, "Compare and
Swap"), so that Win-64 would not install on them.
I think the original Intel & Lenovo "compute sticks" fell into that
category, circa 2015?

You need not depend on comparing the account balances by eye. Export
both reports in HTML, which is a text format (as opposed to binary), and
then use a diff utility or comparison program.
In Windows, I have been using the free CSDIFF for many years. The
company that provided it doesn't seem to be
One thing to consider is the ability to run a 64-bit Win-11 build server,
or, rather, HOW we will create a 64-bit windows build server.

Assuming that the info sent to the accountants ended at 12/31/2023, Simon could

The log files are another option, bu

believed was important, but this does not change the financial condition of

If I'm not mistaken, those entries now simply attempt to open a web

Along with the idea of exporting your present book via CSV, when you get
back the file from the accountant, export that book as CSV too. Then do
a diff on the CSV files.
Those should be less messy to read than the XML.
You could then take the diff results as a CSV and import them.
