As I understand those links, portableapps.com works on these other operating systems by using Wine, a virtual windows emulator.  So, you'd install a windows emulator on your linux machine (125mb) in order to run gnucash as a portable app on a stick so as to save installing Gnucash (175mb) on you

I may be misunderstanding,  but it seems like the following would work: Assets:TIAA (cash)Assets:TIAA:Lifecycle 1 (commodity)Assets:TIAA:Lifecycle 2 (commodity)Assets:TIAA:TIAA Mutual Fund (commodity) My experience of the so called "Lifecycle" funds is that they are just like any other mutual fun

The proposed structure is set up precisely as you want, down to the naming, and it will show total portfolio. At least it does for me. Personally, I don’t know the precise share holdings for any of the mutual funds I own, so the Lifecycle funds are, for me, exactly the same. David P.S. Dale’s

Andrew,  I believe that you and I are talking about the same field, and that you are NOT talking about the Actions menu,  which Dave H. was talking about.  I specifically said the action field in a _transaction_; whether that transaction is in a register or the transaction editor should be, I bel

Taking into account the fact that I don't really use scheduled transactions much these days, nevertheless I think you have a different model going from what gnucash does.  Specifically, in gnucash, a scheduled transaction is only a template; it is not a transaction itself. As a template, it lack

The biggest problem with the database back end is users' misconception that its use implies database functionality. They think it will allow them to perform database actions on the data set,  as well as have multiple users simultaneously. As you know, neither of these is true at this time.  Davi

John,  Peter,  Whatever the reason for Morris to want this (I, for example occasionally want to see all the payments to/from one payee), the fact remains that GnuCash already offers this functionality, although it is buried in View->Sort by (our whatever that menu option is). So, Morris is mostl

Ken, I don’t know where in the code base you want to look—but I will note that “the last day of the month” is more difficult to calculate than “the first day of the month.” The first day is always number 1; the last day varies month to month. I know some software packages make use of a conceptu
