Working with GnuCash

GNUCash - great OpenSource replacement for Quicken and even Quickbooks;

.gnucash file is gzipped xml file which you can peek into for info that may not be available in the front end like vendor list, delete invoices (unfortunately the only way), etc

C:\Program Files\gnucash\share\gnucash\guile-modules\gnucash\report contains the .scm files (text files coded in Scheme - a form of LISP) to manipulate invoices' look, etc.

These scheme scripts (.scm) will need to be re-edited (more likely saved then re-imported) when upgrading GNUCash

Quickly remove background using Gimp

The more I use GIMP the more I have come to understand it can do everything I thought I needed PhotoShop to do.

Removing background (creating transparent file)
Open file
Tools -->Paths
Use zoom to get real defined if needed
Once path completed, click Shift-V to make selection
Control-I to select inverse
Go to Layer -->Transparency--> Add alpha channel
Hit "delete" key; now your background is deleted

very easy !
