13:05:19 <synktar> Is it safe to assume that you guys are all skilled with at least accounting basics? I'm taking a course and am currently confused and don't know where else to ask
13:06:28 *** warlord-slow is now known as warlord
13:06:35 <warlord> very few of us are real accountants.

13:09:15 <warlord> @op chris
13:09:16 *** gncbot sets mode: +o chris
13:09:27 <synktar> Of the very few of you that are, which one of you is? I just need someone to talk to to see if I can get this explained differently.

13:11:51 <warlord> have you read the gnucash tutorial?

14:35:04 *** lamp02 has joined #gnucash
14:35:28 <lamp02> hello everybody
14:35:43 <lamp02> I would like to export Gnucash file in XML
14:35:59 <lamp02> but I don't understand how
14:36:08 <lamp02> is anybody able to help me?
14:36:12 *** lamp02 has left #gnucash
14:37:02 *** lamp03 has joined #gnucash
14:37:19 <jsled> The gnucash data file is already XML, though it may be compressed (gzip).
14:37:28 <jsled> But there's no "export" functionality, per se.
14:44:33 <lamp03> thank you
14:44:42 <lamp03> but how can I uncompress it?
14:44:48 <jsled> gunzip $file
14:45:09 <lamp03> I tryed by GUI but it doesn't work
14:45:18 <jsled> Are you sure it's compressed?
14:45:45 <lamp03> the icon is a box
14:46:06 <lamp03> and if I double-click it opens the archive manager
14:46:16 <jsled> Okay... sounds promising...
14:46:27 <lamp03> but says can't open
14:46:49 <lamp03> if I try to open the file by text editor suggests that it's binary file
14:47:11 <jsled> You might need to rename it to ${file}.gz before the archive tool gets the idea.
14:48:57 <lamp03> it works!
14:49:00 <lamp03> thank you very much
14:49:09 <jsled> lamp03: can I ask what your real goal is?
14:49:27 <lamp03> mostly curiousity
14:49:34 <lamp03> but I would like to make some reports
14:49:42 <lamp03> customized
14:49:56 <jsled> But not within gnucash's reporting framework?
14:50:31 <lamp03> you mean by REPORT menu?
14:50:41 <jsled> fwiw, <http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/trunk/src/doc/xml/gnucash-v2.rnc> is most of the XML file schema...
14:50:41 *** jakin has joined #gnucash
14:50:58 <jsled> lamp03: right. Also <http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports>.
14:53:36 <lamp03> interesting
14:54:02 <lamp03> I hope they will write soon some documentation
14:54:34 *** Demitar has joined #gnucash
14:55:16 <jsled> that's about as documented as it's been in quite a while.
14:55:37 <lamp03> good
14:57:17 <lamp03> I'm leaving now
14:57:18 <lamp03> bye
14:57:27 <lamp03> and thanx again

20:47:19 *** jared has joined #gnucash
20:47:38 <jared> What file formats can gnucash open?
20:47:50 <warlord> "open" or "import"?
20:47:55 <warlord> It can only "open" its own.
20:48:04 <warlord> It can import QIF and OFX.
20:51:19 <jared> So, it can't open Quicken or QuickBooks files?
20:51:58 <warlord> Not QB, no.
20:52:04 <warlord> Quicken, yes, if you export it as QIF.
20:53:17 <jared> Grr, because I have a QuickBooks file that I need to open, but don't have QuickBooks.
20:53:31 <warlord> Sorry, gnucash can't help you there.
20:54:43 <jared> Well, thanks anyways!
20:54:52 *** jared has quit IRC
21:06:21 <warlord> * grrr * -- I just lost most of my firefox session! Blah!
21:19:59 <twunder> firefox 2.0 has session restore, but I prefer tab mix plus' version
21:23:07 *** twunder has quit IRC
22:39:02 <warlord> @tell twunder yes, but it can sometimes fail to restore properly if you're in the middle of a session restore, kill firefox, and then try to restore it yet again.
22:39:02 <gncbot> warlord: The operation succeeded.
