GnuCash is very reminiscent of more traditional accounting software applications and offers solid functionality behind a nondescript home page. GnuCash and QuickBooks Online are both designed for small businesses, but that’s where the similarities end. Not only suitable for growing businesses, QuickBooks Online is also a good fit for sole proprietors and micro-businesses that need a scaled-down version of a solid accounting application. With four plans available, QuickBooks Online offers scalability, so you can start slow and ramp up as your business grows. QuickBooks Online is well suited for sole proprietors and growing businesses alike.

GnuCash is an on-premise application you’ll need to download onto your computer - it does not offer remote access. Originally designed as a personal finance application, GnuCash has added a number of business-related features to the original application, making it a good option for startups, sole proprietors, and very small businesses. If you're ready to finally make a choice, we're breaking down these two options with an in-depth, side-by-side comparison. Or, you’ve read our accounting software reviews and have some questions about QuickBooks Online. Maybe you’ve heard of GnuCash, but want to know more about it. I cannot fathom this out at all! As I say. and got the English version, although the command line in /usr/share/applications/sktop asked for German.Īfter I had reset the command line in /usr/share/applications/sktop everything returned to 'normal'. I could only start gnucash from a terminal. Why? Because the gnucash file in /usr/share/applications/ had renamed itself as sktop! (I say 'renamed itself' because I did not do it, I had just closed the properties window and everything had seemed as before). On logging in again as a normal (Gnome) user, however, Gnucash was no longer available as an application! - just gone, completely disappeared from the Gnome applications, zilch. I agree, it seems to be sheer chaos! I extended the command line in /usr/share/applications/ in the gnucash properties as root. desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications/?īut believe me, the file is actually called 'sktop'. Great thing to do for a _file_ manager.Īnd so predictable, why doesn't it do the same for. Well, I ran nautilus now, and if you enter the folder /usr/share/application, it indeed shows the 'Name' entry of the. I always get the English version (and by the way, the 'Main Menu' entry for gnucash then shows the edited command line. Even if I copy the file called gnucash to ~/.local/share/applications/sktop and edit the command line with success, it seems to have no effect when starting gnucash from the desktop. I can find no file sktop in /usr/share/applications/, only one called gnucash.Ģ. I have tried wolfi323's suggestion to edit the /usr/share/applications/sktop without success (but I don't really understand what I am doing!):ġ. In other words, it seems not to be very useful. But it is apparently not possible to apply changes to the command line if it is different from the system default.

There is indeed something that looks like a menu editor in Gnome called 'Main Menu' under 'All settings'. This wouldn't even get overwritten by updates, as no package contains a file /usr/share/applications/sktop. You could of course also create a file /usr/share/applications/sktop (or ~/.local/share/applications/sktop) with the same content as the original, only the Exec line changed (and maybe 'Name=' as well to keep them apart), to have an additional, german, menu entry. You could edit /usr/share/applications/sktop directly as well (for system-wide effect), but then your changes would get lost whenever gnucash is updated/reinstalled. I don't think GNOME comes with a menu editor any more.īut you can copy the file /usr/share/applications/sktop to ~/.local/share/applications/ and edit the copy manually with a text editor (change the 'Exec=' line accordingly).
