GnuCash

Since upgrading to v5.5 - get the message "The procedure entry point xmllOFTPClose could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files\(x86)\gnucash\bin\libxmlsec1.dll" Initially I installed the upgrade over the previous version when the message started to occur. I uninstalled the program completely and reinstalled and still get the same issue. Why? Because even though you uninstall the program in Windows, the DLL files are still there, so by uninstalling the program and then going to C:\Program Files (x86) and removing the Gnucash folder (thus removing all the residual files) and then reinstalling Gnucash - it opened up with no errors or messages. The upgrade process should be updated to refresh the DLL files and mitigate potential errors/issues.

Have used this for years and been very happy with it. I downloaded the new 5.5 today with no problem, but when I tried to install it, I was forced to abort. I lost my very adequate 5.4 in the process, so I now have nothing. The problem appears to be in the installer.

This program is total trash. The developers ought to be embarrassed to attach their names to junk like this. It can't import even simple QIF files. The only error message it shows is "Failed." No further information. The user manual doesn't address this and the on-line "Help" is abysmal. This program is ShareWare and I think it's overpriced.

Tried to import a QuickBooks QBO file using the Mac version. While there was no indication that this program would do that, it allowed me to select the file in the Import dialog -- which, if that particular file format is not supported, should not have happened. Unfortunately that was all it did -- allowed me to select it. After that, it put up another window asking me to select some options, with a couple of check boxes ... but I could do absolutely *NOTHING* in this window. Checkboxes didn't work, nor did the little field in that same window allow me to adjust the values in it. Gave up. Quit the program -- but could not get that Import window to go away without resorting to the Force Quit keyboard command. Final verdict for Mac users: Look for something else. Programs on the Mac are supposed to follow the Apple Human Interface Guidelines, and this one clearly does not. For the developers of this program: Do better. Don't say a program works on the Mac without making even the smallest attempt of adhering to the Apple Human Interface Guidelines, which are easily found with a simple Google search. Shame on you.

I have only just started, but can't say I like it. The QIF import fails. And there is Nothing more to say! Not why, not where. I hate to feel that I am completely wasting my time! Oh My! The"tradable commodities' screen was the worst design I think I even saw. The screen is enormous, the bottom is not viewable; to see the 'Next' button you have to go full screen, with an acre of blank space between the corners! Wow. And THEN, you have to press the next button a few hundred time just to get through.
