[GNC] Gnucash 4.0 Paper Clip and Link glyphs for file/web transaction associations

Fri Jul 3 21:55:44 EDT 2020

Until recently, reconciling was really my primary use of GnuCash. I also get digital statements, but reconciling is the about the only time I look at them.

Hi Ken,

I'm afraid I'm in the group that finds reconciling very useful. I want to
know if anyone is charging me when they shouldn't be, without having to
check my phone all the time. Admittedly it happens so infrequently I could
probably do without it, but I sleep better with it.

I know a developer is considering restructuring the columns to make better
use of wider displays. Maybe that will help you in future. Myself, I don't
really want to use the whole screen, but who knows, I often find I
automatically dislike change but end up liking it.

Chris Good

Chris -- don't want to cause an uproar here - since this subject might have
been brought up before -- but IMO it would be nice to replace the reconcile
column with the attachment column.  With the advent of on-line banking and
real time charges via online payment services like Paypal -- I have not
"reconciled" my "checkbook" in over 10 years.   I can check my balance
daily; I always know and can see when something clears my account; I always
know what the balance available is; and -- I only get online statements.
So, again, IMO, the reconcile column is meaningless and should/could be
replaced.   

I have used the reconcile function only once and found it useless -- at
least for me.  But alas, I know many others will probably disagree. 

Ken

Hi Adrien,

Wow, how did I not notice I used GunCash instead of GnuCash in the subject.

I wonder why the glyph is better in Linux than Windows - maybe some-one
knows...
I wonder if it is possible to somehow install the Ubuntu font or whatever
contains the emoji section of Unicode into Windows.

The Ubuntu 'Character Map' application shows the glyphs in Unicode category:
'Symbol, Other' under Unicode Block 'Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs'.

I also wonder why GnuCash writes to the sheet directly rather than using a
treeview?
I'm currently trying to change it so there is a visual indication of an
attachment without having to go into double line view.
I cannot get it to make any difference using css but I can use code to
change the font to Italic, so now I'm working on how to get it to do that to
the Description only when there is an attachment. This seems the best I can
do at the moment.

Regards, Chris Good

The glyphs are part of the emoji section of Unicode. I don?t expect changing
the base font is going to affect them.

I?m not sure how to specify just an emoji set.

I?m also not sure if GTK CSS allows rotations and other transforms like web
CSS, but you might give it a try. However, there doesn?t seem to be any CSS
hook exposed for the cell where the glyphs are placed on the register sheet,
so I don?t think you can target them with specificity.

Adrien
