Thank you. Knowing that it's still meant to work in ~/.gnucash helps: knowing that, I tried creating a new basic report and it worked fine for me too. After much pain I concluded that our existing custom reports were being silently ignored by GnuCash because they were attempting to load the apparently now obsolete business-utils module which was part of 2.4. Poking around in standard reports from 2.6 it looks like the app-utils module supersedes business-utils. I hadn't noticed anything about that in release notes and a silent failure doesn't give one much of a clue. However, problem solved. > For the second problem I upgraded and patched gnucash-docs too, and it > is now able to find the needed xml files. Thank you again. I applied your patch (the third from the PR) and the documentation is all behaving properly now. Thank you very much for your assistance and for maintaining this port. -- John Marshall
