So I just tried Gnucash, the accounting software. After spending some time reading the docs on how it works, I started creating some accounts and populating them. Then I close the program and open it later.
There was an error parsing the file c:\users\zapek\gnucash
What the.. I try to open all 4 backup files it did.. Same error message. Great, so gnucash 2.2.9 cannot open files it writes itself. And all my work is lost.
I try with gnucash 2.3.5 then, which is marked as unstable. I create just one account to test, saves and it does a wonderful crash “error in sqlite3 blabla”.
Maybe I should just use a pen and paper.
This is common. Recently I felt like compiling my PHP stuff, installed something like 5 different compatibility layer packages for windows, bigloo, mysys, modding the paths, just to compile the thing, and in the end it just hanged my console. What a loss of time.
