[GNC] Custom Style Sheet Disappearing

[Keith Fetterman]

Hi David,

Thank you for testing and letting me know your results. I upgraded from 5.14 to 5.15 on my Mac that is running MacOS Tahoe. When I created a new stylesheet then closed the dialog, I quit and loaded GnuCash. The new stylesheet was not saved. I created a new stylesheet again and used it in a new saved report. I then closed and reopened GnuCash. This time the new stylesheet still existed after GnuCash was restarted.

I don’t know if the problem was related to MacOS Ventura, GnuCash 5.14 or steps that I took this time to create it.

On my Mac that was running MacOS Ventura and GnuCash 5.14, I did successfully create a new stylesheet, and I used in a saved report once. The next day when I ran GnuCash, the style sheet was gone. After that GnuCash was not retaining the new stylesheet after restarting GnuCash.

Does anyone know where a log might be written if an error is occurring when creating a new stylesheet? 

I need to check the file permissions to see if I have something weird there.

Thanks for the help.

Keith
