15:02:32 <lns> Hey all, is there a GNUCash to Quickbooks EXPORT utility available anywhere?
15:02:39 *** cortilap has quit IRC
15:03:03 <jsled> lns: no.
15:03:24 <jsled> at least, not that we've ever heard of. There is a gnucash->qif utility.
15:03:34 <lns> jsled, d'oh. ;)
15:03:35 <lns> hmm
15:03:53 <lns> that might help if quicken has a conversion util to quickbooks...
15:04:05 <lns> do you have a link handy?
15:04:29 <jsled> yeah, finding ... surprisingly http://google.com/search?q=gnucash2qif doesn't work.
15:04:37 *** gunnicom| has joined #gnucash
15:04:44 <jsled> lns: http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_How_can_I_export_data.3F
15:04:51 <lns> I absolutely love gnucash by the way..have been using it for years with my business.
15:04:54 <jsled> (it's "to")
15:04:55 <lns> thank ya!
15:05:03 <jsled> you're welcome.
15:06:07 <lns> I think that once the Windows version is up to snuff, there will be a much larger embracing of the software
15:06:25 <lns> There are too many small businesses that can't afford dealing with Quicken/quickbooks
15:06:58 <lns> and it seems gnucash makes you UNDERSTAND accounting a lot better than the others, which try to mask the processes, which seems very counterproductive.
15:08:58 <warlord> lns: except many users dont want to HAVE to learn accounting.
15:09:52 <lns> warlord, true, my case included - that's why I'm hiring a bookeeper at this point...he seems very interested in GNUCash but I can't seem to find the link to download the Windows version.
15:10:29 <lns> But what i've learned with GNUCash is, IMHO, necessary for running my business
15:11:11 <warlord> lns: http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/ and follow the links
15:12:12 <jsled> huh. When I click on he link in the 2.1.4 announce from www.gnucash.org, I end up at <http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/g/gn/gnucash/>, which is horribly wrong. :/
15:12:41 <jsled> Though I guess it does have the gnucash-2.1.4.* packages, on the second page.
15:12:59 <lns> here it is
15:13:00 <lns> https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=192&package_id=5582
15:13:11 <lns> thx warlord
15:13:41 <lns> anyone have experience running this on windows? Should I trust it for my bookeeper to handle my finances, or is it too buggy still?
15:15:01 <warlord> 2.1.4 is still beta-test, release-candidate code.
15:15:06 <warlord> (i.e., it's for testing only)
15:15:14 <warlord> 2.2.0 will be the first stable release.
15:17:21 <lns> oh
15:17:23 <lns> ok
15:17:36 <lns> I definitely look forward to that. :)
15:18:01 <lns> Thank you very much for your help!
15:19:34 <warlord> you're welcome

15:57:07 <andi5> lns: well.... for testing only means that you are invited to download, install and test it, of course :) ... wenn always need good test reports
16:05:06 <andi5> hm... nothing targeting 2.2.0 is unfixed... if there are important bugs, please mark them...

17:19:05 <rlc> Hi everyone. In the documentation it talks about a price editor for stocks. I can't find it. Can somebody help me?
17:20:05 <jsled> rlc: Tools > Price Editor ?
17:27:15 *** bonez44 has quit IRC
17:46:14 *** dbr has joined #gnucash
17:52:17 <rlc> I am also having trouble with the Finance::Quote module. When I use the "Get Quotes" button in the price editor it works fine but when I issue the command "gnucash --add-price-quotes /home/rlc/myDocs/finances/gnuCash/thisYear/gnucash-2007b" at the command line I get "gnucash: [M] "Found Finance::Quote version ""1.12" gnucash: [E] "book-add-quotes unable to open file" ** ERROR **: Failed to add quotes to /home/rlc/myDocs/finances/gnuCash/thisYear/gnuc
17:52:17 <rlc> ash-2007b. aborting...". Can somebody help me with this?
17:54:00 <warlord> rlc: does it work if you click on "get quotes" from the UI?
17:54:34 <warlord> rlc: what about running gnc-fq-check ?
17:57:22 <rlc> By the "UI" do you mean in the price editor or somewhere else?
17:57:44 <warlord> yes
17:58:31 <rlc> I ran "Get Quotes" from the price editor and it worked fine.
17:59:22 <rlc> I ran "gnc-fq-check" and it gave me what appeared to be different places where it get quotes.
18:00:01 <warlord> What OS/Distro?
18:00:14 <rlc> feisty ubuntu
18:03:14 <warlord> Huh. Weird.
18:03:19 <warlord> And what version of gnucash?
18:04:04 <rlc> 2.0.2
18:06:18 <warlord> Oh, well 2.0.5 is current. Upgrade.

19:21:06 <rlc> As I look at the tutorial on how to create sub-accounts for individual stocks it puts them under a parent account whose account type is "stock". Is that necessary or can the account type of the parent account be "Bank"?
