[GNC] Style Sheets not Saving

[J. Richard Herbert]

Hi,

I tried a variety of combinations after you email. Ultimately, I deleted 
everything that was in '.local/share/gnucash' and let it repopulate from 
opening up Gnucash. The reports save and the style sheet choice now 
saves with saving a report configuration (no more crashes). I edited the 
fancy style sheet (including a name change) to add a background .gif. 
This saves with the style sheet but:

  * When I create a new style sheet but it is not there when I shut down
    Gnucash and reboot.
  * Any style sheet colour changes do not save when Gnucash is shut down
    and rebooted.
  * I have not tried using CSS.

Thanks for the suggestion of deleting things and repopulating. This 
worked part way. Further suggestions??

Richard

I tried a few variations. In the end, I delete what was in 
'.local/sahe/gnucash

I recently installed on a new computer with a different user name and for which data is stored on a separate mounted partition. I am running Opensuse Tumbleweed and my Gnucash version is 5.11+(2025-03-29). I have attached screen shots of their info for ease.

In that, I began redoing my saved reports, but ran across an inability to save new style sheets or style. Also, the selected style sheet does not save in the report.
