[GNC] macOS gnc 3.2

[John Ralls]

It’s because Gtk2 and Gtk3 use different paths to the accelerators. Gtk3 can read the Gtk2 paths but not vice-versa. Because Gtk2 had the ability to change accelerators from the menus (I think that was removed from Gtk3 but I’m not sure, and so I haven’t changed the logic) GnuCash writes out a new accelerator map when you quit.

The accelerator map file is ~/Library/Application Support/Gnucash/accelerator-map. It occurs to me that another workaround besides deleting it before launching GnuCash 2.6.x would be to make it read-only *after* running GnuCash 2.6 and before running GnuCash 3:

chmod a-w ~/Library/Application Support/Gnucash/accelerator-map

John Ralls

It’s mostly an inconvenience, since there is a workaround that involves deleting a file that GTK3 creates (or something like that). Since I never remember where that file is, I have just decided to get used to the New Keyboard Regime.

On the other hand since you have a Mac you have the luxury of being able to have as many GnuCash versions as you like, just make sure that they either have different names or are in different folders. As long as you don't use any of the new 3.2 features that affect the data file you can switch back and forth at will.
