00:00:25 <warlord> that's all, just add the report to that.
00:02:23 <andrewsw> okay thanks
00:14:31 <andrewsw> oh god. this thing (html-acct-table-add-accounts!) get the balance for each account at least twice and checks whether to use the account at least 3 times *after* getting the balance.
00:14:47 <warlord> fun!
00:17:23 <andrewsw> at least its consistent@! same amount of time no matter how many accounts are selected!
00:17:39 <warlord> probably based on the # accts in your data file?
00:17:53 <andrewsw> yep. looks at every one several times.
00:18:04 <warlord> ovely!
00:18:34 <andrewsw> cstim thinks that the basic structure is okay and that its bogging down somewhere else, but I don't see it.
00:18:50 <warlord> I think you're probably onto something.
00:23:32 <andrewsw> I think I can setup a new function that runs and gets the balances of all the used accounts once and then use that data wherever it runs out to calculate the balance.
00:23:36 <andrewsw> that'll be a start.
00:24:35 <warlord> Yeah, it can (should) cache the balances.
00:25:09 <andrewsw> you mean the backend should be doing that? I was going to just stick them in a list
00:25:43 <warlord> Ummm... I dunno.
00:25:44 <warlord> Maybe?
00:26:15 <andrewsw> I think I'm misreading you. You're saying *I* can make it cache the balances...
00:26:31 <warlord> well, you're writing the code. ;)
00:26:51 <andrewsw> well. that's an awfully generous statement.
00:26:57 <warlord> :-D
00:36:42 <warlord> okay, bedtime

11:41:18 <eauxnguye1> hi all. I am back with a need for a bit more guidance on 2.0.2. When editing the invoices.crm file I am uncertain where the <br> should be placed. At the beginning of the file appears to make no change. At around line 459 it actually cuts off the top of the invoice.
11:41:48 <eauxnguye1> I am unable to upgrade from 2.0.2 until I resolve a version problem with Ubuntu
11:42:28 <warlord> eauxnguye1: in the renderer procedure you need to output the <br>
11:42:30 <eauxnguye1> erh make that invoice.scm
11:45:24 *** motin_0 has quit IRC
11:47:50 <eauxnguye1> warlord: thanks. I don't know where that occurs. I see where reg-renderer is referenced (define (reg-renderer report-obj) on line 620..
11:49:09 <warlord> right......
11:49:32 <warlord> that's the procedure you need to modify.
11:50:51 <eauxnguye1> so (define (reg-renderer report-obj)
11:50:51 <eauxnguye1> (define (opt-val section name)
11:50:51 <eauxnguye1> (gnc:option-value
11:50:51 <eauxnguye1> (gnc:lookup-option (gnc:report-options report-obj) section name)))
11:50:51 <eauxnguye1> (let* ((document (gnc:make-html-document))
11:50:52 <eauxnguye1> (table '())
11:50:54 <eauxnguye1> (orders '())
11:50:56 <eauxnguye1> (invoice (opt-val invoice-page invoice-name))
11:50:58 <eauxnguye1> (owner #f)
11:51:00 <eauxnguye1> (references? (opt-val "Display" "References"))
11:51:02 <eauxnguye1> (title (_ "Invoice"))
11:51:04 <eauxnguye1> (invoice? #f))
11:51:41 <eauxnguye1> sorry about that. Should I place a (<br>) just below the (gnc:make-html-document) and above (table '() ?
11:56:29 <warlord> um... no.....
11:57:50 *** pdc has quit IRC
11:58:10 *** pdc has joined #gnucash
11:58:17 <warlord> You probably want to put it above the "gnc:html-docuemnt-set-title!" call
11:58:29 <warlord> so, add the <br> to the document there.
11:58:53 <warlord> Actually, I think make-break! is what you want.
12:01:52 <eauxnguye1> thank you warlord. I appreciate you taking the time.
12:02:00 <warlord> you're welcome.

13:39:34 <Sathamoth> Hi all. Is there some known way to handle the accounting of the following case: I transfer some assets from checking account A to checking account B. The money transfer may take couple of days, and I would like to record both dates, so that registers of both accounts would display accurate balances on any given day. How this situation is usually handled?
13:40:17 <Sathamoth> should I create some "money-in-the-middle-of-a-transfer" account :) ?
13:40:24 <jsled> yeah.
13:40:37 <jsled> or just make two transaction, omitting the transfer account.
13:41:15 <jsled> hmm. this should be a FAQ...
13:41:20 <Sathamoth> which two transactions they would be?
13:41:27 <Sathamoth> A->B and..?
13:41:55 <jsled> Oh, good point. I guess one way to do it would be A->Equity, then Equity->B.
13:42:08 <jsled> Basically, use the Equity account as the floating/transfer account.
13:42:29 <jsled> Or, if that's the case, Assets:Transfer-in-progress is probably better.
13:42:44 <Sathamoth> yeah
13:43:23 <Sathamoth> this may introduce some complications in cash flow reporting then, I guess.. it would be nice to eliminate such intermediate accounts to see the cash flow between the actual accounts A and B
13:43:42 <Sathamoth> ...but at the same time keeping those both dates
13:43:54 <jsled> yeah.
13:44:16 <jsled> I believe that was the concensus on gnucash-user (or maybe it was in here) a few weeks ago, too. And probably before that, as well.
13:44:21 <Sathamoth> is the intermediate account the way this is handled in accounting in general?
13:44:40 <jsled> I can't say, as IANAA.
13:45:02 <Sathamoth> :)
13:49:24 <Sathamoth> ok, well I guess a separate transfer account should work in my case. It will be a separate task to take a look at report generating scripts and see if they need some changes to "inline" such account

16:24:02 <dorky> The Debian Build dependancies for gnucash do not include intltool but they need too.
16:24:50 <warlord> dorky: file a bug with debian
16:25:54 *** ErKa has joined #gnucash
16:26:12 <warlord> dorky: please respond in channel.
16:26:29 <dorky> Right. On it. Just thought I'd mention it here. But I'll also wait until I successfully build, in case there's something else too.
16:27:29 <dorky> Isn't your response out of channel? Maybe I misinterpreted that.
16:27:56 <warlord> Um, no..
16:28:00 <warlord> My response is right now.
16:28:02 <warlord> right here

16:41:15 *** twunder has quit IRC
16:47:43 <cortana> dorky: sure it isn't pulled in transitively?
16:49:11 <dorky> Transitively is not a word I understand in this context.
16:50:36 <cortana> maybe intltool is depend upon by one of gnucash's build-dependencies
16:51:15 <dorky> The debian build-deps command is supposed to understand and account for that sort of thing automatically. So it's still a bug it debian.
16:51:33 <warlord> It is, but honestly we dont care. Talk to Debian
16:52:16 *** ural0 has quit IRC
17:04:18 <andrewsw> dorky: I'm not sure, but deb may not make some of the required packages a part of build-dep as they are in other packages like build-essential.
17:04:44 <andrewsw> dorky: that's just a guess. ask on debian-user.
