Merging Files or Other Method getting Transactions into main File.

[Adrien Monteleone]

GnuCash for Android is a separate project. The developers of GnuCash (or this mailing list) are not affiliated with it.

The GnuCash project has a link to it because users of GnuCash may be interested in it.

So you’ve found that this 3rd party app for your phone had a bug. That happens from time to time with any software, including GnuCash itself. The bug, as has been noted on this forum very recently (last few days) MANY times, has been fixed in newer releases.

I would think removing mention of the app from the GnuCash website on account of a bug would be a bit too far.

Just update the app on your phone and re-export the data.

Is that not possible for you?

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding, but I didn’t interpret that the bug was a damage to the data file on the phone, but rather an incorrect export. If it really did damage your file, other than restoring from a backup and manually entering in the later transactions, or manually keying in everything from the phone to the desktop version, I’m not sure there’s a simpler solution. But if you can see the full data on the phone, then I suspect updating the app and re-exporting will solve the dilemma.

Regards,
Adrien
