Gnucash

Jari told me about the accounting software he’s been using called Gnucash. I’ve done all my accounting in OpenOffice spreadsheets thus far and they’ve been easy to use, of course, cos I’ve designed them myself. I’ve been trying to get into Gnucash, but when every little thing I want to do requires me googling up instructions on how to do it, implementing it has been really discouraging. For example, I mistakenly pressed not to show warning dialogs for deleting transactions, defaulting it for not deleting anything, rendering the delete button useless. My first instinct was to go to the Preferences section of the application and try to find it, but to no luck. Everything seems completely counter-intuitive, but I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it, eventually…
