07:34:57 <baggito> hi.
07:36:03 <baggito> i'm wondering how i might go about making invoices/customer records for easy import into GNU cash.
07:47:48 <baggito> i have an itemized list of invoices i'll be generating and i would like to be able to import it into an accounting program without too much hassle.

07:58:02 *** gncbot sets mode: +o cstim
07:58:04 <cstim> .
07:58:04 <gncbot> cstim: Sent 12 hours and 38 minutes ago: <warlord> Are we even going to have a 2.0.6 release? I suppose I can backport it, but if there's never going to be a 2.0.6 does it matter?
07:58:40 <cstim> @tell warlord: I don't know w.r.t. 2.0.6. as well.
07:58:40 <gncbot> cstim: The operation succeeded.
07:59:23 <cstim> @tell warlord: http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Announcement_2.2.0 Are the quotes from you in that announcement fine? You can just go ahead and change them :-)
07:59:23 <gncbot> cstim: The operation succeeded.
07:59:28 *** cstim has quit IRC
08:00:26 <baggito> hrm.
08:12:48 <baggito> i see that you can save an invoice in some QOF xml schema. i see QOF is some xml format for dumping c++. can i find documentation anywhere of the format specific to gnucash?

08:46:57 <jsled> baggito: hey. hold.
08:49:00 <jsled> baggito: also, as to "why", I believe because this #gnucash was in existance before PDPC/Freenode existed.
08:49:02 <jsled> :)
08:49:45 <jsled> http://code.neil.williamsleesmill.me.uk/qsf.html I think is the "best" documentation.
08:50:16 <baggito> thanks
08:50:46 <jsled> That links to some mailing list discussion, which will probably be useful.
08:51:08 <baggito> hrm. i was actually just thinking about using OFX if it made any sense to as it looks more compatible with other software
08:51:18 <baggito> i don't really want to write this and then have it ONLY useful to gnu cash....
08:51:33 <jsled> You're looking to import invoices and customer record?
08:51:36 <jsled> s/record/records/
08:51:46 <baggito> yes, primarily
08:52:01 <jsled> re: QSF, also <http://svn.gnucash.org/docs/HEAD/group__QSF.html>, which is from the source code, but it doesn't appear useful, either.
08:52:05 <baggito> invoices, customers, customer-payments
08:52:10 <jsled> Though it has a lot of words. :/
08:52:34 <jsled> I don't believe OFX handles those data types.
08:52:56 <jsled> Also, while we export QSF, I don't believe we read/import it.
08:53:17 <baggito> oh
08:53:25 <baggito> what about QIF?
08:53:28 <jsled> It's generally been said that we don't have a good way to import business objects. :(
08:53:39 <baggito> hrm. that's a little bit of a pain.
08:53:43 <jsled> QIF is even "simpler" than OFX ... it too only supports basic transactions.
08:54:02 <baggito> my boss REALLY needs some kind of accounting program.
08:54:33 <baggito> i'd rather get him into something free than Sage (which i have tried to integrate with before ... vendor lock-in, anyone?)
08:54:40 <baggito> ok
08:54:41 <baggito> well
08:55:02 <baggito> i guess i'll have a wrestle with that bloaty XML format they have used.
08:55:14 <baggito> don't suppose anyone has made a QOF ruby library ever?
08:55:20 <baggito> maybe i shoudl SWIG it
08:58:02 <baggito> hrm. probably not.

09:08:13 <david> Hi, I just want to mention that I'm on my windows machine now, and that I have the information regarding the problem importing Qif files
09:08:47 <david> unfortuneatly my setup it is french, but I can translate what the error says
09:09:02 <david> I also have a sample Qif and a screenshot
09:09:10 <jsled> david: awesome. I'm not sure if warlord is around; you probably want to file (or update) a bug at <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=GnuCash>
09:09:47 <david> humm.. sure,
09:44:37 <david> done

10:20:55 <warlord> baggito: As jsled said, there really isn't a good way to import business objects, yet. QSF is the only way, but QSF isn't really well-tested or stable, so it might be disabled by 2.2.0

14:37:13 <digdug> oh, and gnucash does use gtk's ms-windows theme just fine
