Re: [orca-list] Using Gnucash with Orca

[Ishe Chinyoka <ishechinyoka yahoo com>]

Hi Francisco,

Thanks for your suggestion of the homebank app. Indeed, it worked 
for
me. While there was a Slackware package, I found that it was last
updated in 2017, so I had to install the Flatpak version which is 
5.5.1.

So far, so good, thanks again for this suggestion.

Have a good day,

Ishe
