11:27:48 <edgy> hi
11:28:19 <edgy> hehe, don't meta-ask, I like this expression ;)
11:30:49 <edgy> after I post an invoice, can I edit it?
11:31:46 <edgy> I remember I did this before but not it's dimmed!
11:34:12 <warlord> You have to unpost it first.
11:34:20 <warlord> (so, no, you cannot edit a posted invoice)
11:38:32 *** warlord has quit IRC
11:57:40 *** warlord has joined #gnucash
11:57:41 *** gncbot sets mode: +o warlord
12:01:08 <edgy> warlord: exactly I want to unpost it but the button is not active
12:01:42 <edgy> warlord: may be because it's paid partially?
12:03:06 <warlord> Um... The UNPOST button isn't active? Is the POST button active?
12:04:14 <edgy> warlord: it says "Post" but it's not active
12:04:57 <edgy> warlord: "Save" and "Close" are active but the other buttons are not
12:05:28 <edgy> warlord: I now checked another invoice which is not paid at all and I cannot also edit it
12:05:32 *** cortilap has quit IRC
12:05:53 <warlord> There should be a "Post" and "Unpost".. One of the two should be active.
12:05:58 <warlord> Maybe your window isn't wide enough>
12:05:59 <warlord> ?
12:07:20 <edgy> warlord: aha!
12:07:33 <edgy> warlord: never noticed they are two buttons before ;)
12:07:45 <warlord> Hahahaha
12:07:49 <edgy> the other one is hidden and I need to click an arrow to see it
12:08:01 <warlord> Because your window is too narrow.
12:08:34 <edgy> warlord: yes, I am very familiar with applications and I should have noticed this ;)\
12:08:45 <warlord> It happens. It's still early.
12:09:53 *** foo has left #gnucash
12:12:11 *** ErKa has quit IRC
12:12:35 <edgy> warlord: again you are a great help thanks
12:13:09 <warlord> you;'re welcome

12:56:31 *** ramashishb has joined #gnucash
12:58:03 <ramashishb> hi! can anyone tell me how to see monthly cash flow (income & expenditure reports) in gnucash?
12:58:37 *** ErKa has quit IRC
13:01:43 *** ramashishb has quit IRC
13:02:09 *** ramashishb has joined #gnucash
13:04:07 <edgy> ramashishb: you know you can specify the from and to date from the options, right?
13:05:44 <ramashishb> edgy: no, where are these options?
13:06:51 <warlord> ramashishb: Do you really want Cash Flow? Or Income/Expense totals? They are different.
13:07:03 <warlord> (you can set the date range in the appropriate Report Options)
13:07:52 <ramashishb> warlord: i want to see income and expense report with totals for any given month.
13:08:46 <warlord> Then run the P&L nee Income Statement report and set the report options to the date range you want to see.
13:14:25 <edgy> warlord: P&L nee means what?
13:15:02 <warlord> nee means "no"
13:15:12 <warlord> P&L == Profit & Loss.
13:15:27 <warlord> ... the report was renamed and the renaming has confused many mnay people.
13:17:14 <ramashishb> thanks edgy and warlord, i got what i wanted
13:18:00 <ramashishb> since options toolbutton shows up only on seeing a report, i cudn't find it earlier
13:20:04 <edgy> warlord: you mean P&L is renamed to income statement?
13:20:13 *** twunder has quit IRC
13:22:51 <edgy> warlord: I cannot find it
13:23:00 <edgy> ramashishb: which report did you use?
13:23:24 <warlord> edgy: it was renamed back in 2.0
13:23:50 <warlord> Under Reports -> Income & Expense
13:24:58 <ramashishb> edgy: Reports > Income & Expense > Cash Flow
13:25:57 <edgy> warlord: In Income & Expense there nothing says profit, you mean it's Cash Flow now as ramashishb says
13:28:59 <warlord> No... It's "Income Statement"
13:29:16 <edgy> warlord: ah, I got it thanks
13:29:24 <warlord> Income Statement != Cash Flow.
13:29:33 <warlord> ramashishb wants the Income Statement report...
13:29:37 <warlord> Cash flow is..... different
13:30:04 <edgy> warlord: income statement only tracks income and expenses whereas cash flow tracks assets and libilities in addition to this, right?
13:30:28 <ramashishb> well, i am not very familiar with the accounting terms
13:30:42 <ramashishb> all i wanted to see was where my money was coming from and where it was going
13:30:50 <ramashishb> cash flow seems good in that
13:30:59 <warlord> edgy: not quite
13:31:20 <warlord> AHH, yes, then THAT is a cash flow..
13:31:52 <warlord> I've written at long length in email about how the cash flow works -- I suggest you search the archives for those emails so I dont have to type it all again
13:33:19 <edgy> warlord: I will do. thanks a lot
13:33:47 <warlord> :)
13:35:45 *** cortana has joined #gnucash
13:38:21 <edgy> warlord: gnucash.org is not working
13:38:51 *** twunder has joined #gnucash
13:39:10 <jsled> edgy: are you looking for something in particular from the site?
13:40:00 <warlord> MAN! I bet Linas' network is down again.
13:40:17 <warlord> An upstream router from him failed last week on Friday and was fixed Monday.. Looks like it might be down again.
13:42:20 <edgy> warlord: hope you have a backup ;)
13:43:01 <warlord> a backup of what? the network?
13:43:12 <warlord> The data is fine, it's just not reachable.
13:44:07 <edgy> warlord: I mean maybe the it's not the router and the server has gone on fire :(. Now seriously ramashishb asked how to print a monthly report and I know I can print an Income statement for each month but it would be a tedious work to repeat it for each month
13:44:31 <edgy> warlord: isn't there a way to print the montly report automatically for any period specified?
13:44:41 <warlord> No.
13:44:55 <jsled> edgy: the website contents are (mostly) in svn.
13:44:57 <warlord> Except making a multi-column report with N instances.
13:45:29 <warlord> and yes, the website content is saved in multiple physical locations.. SVN is in my basement in Massachusetts. But www is in Austin, TX
13:45:49 <warlord> (actually, SVN, Email, Wiki, Trac are all in Mass. Only www isn't)
13:48:41 <edgy> warlord: are you a graduate of mit.edu?
13:49:06 <warlord> yes

14:25:19 <puck> Hey, is it okay to share the same Gnucash data files between Gnucash on Linux and Windows?
14:26:40 <warlord> Sure
14:29:20 <puck> cool, just thought I'd better check before giving my wife the windows version.
14:29:50 <puck> And I can't get to www.gnucash.org , is it down?
14:36:29 <warlord> yes, they're having network issues. You can download from SourceForge.
14:38:09 <puck> okay
14:38:19 <puck> thanks

15:11:00 <Beth> warlord, yes, we're still on for tonight. I just sent you a second e-mail with the location. Perhaps the first one ended up in your spam box.

15:51:08 <warlord> Beth: I got your "yes, didn't you get the address?" email.
15:51:14 <warlord> But... not the address email..
15:51:48 <warlord> and indeed, it's in my spam folder.
16:00:22 <kmak> Hi all. Is there a way to set the defaults for Printable Invoice?? Each time I have to remove certain columns, add notes by hand. Thanks for the help.
16:02:30 <warlord> kmak: either leave the report open or save it as a custom report. But no, there's no way to actually change what happens when you click on the 'print' button.
16:05:07 <kmak> warlord: damn -- hate to hear that. Thanks for the reply
16:06:29 <warlord> it's really not a big deal.
16:06:44 <warlord> just leave the report open and every time you've got a new invoice go into the report options and select the new one.
16:06:46 <warlord> It's really simple.
16:09:39 <kmak> warlord: ah...i see now. you're right; no big deal. thanks again.
16:11:18 <warlord> you're welcome
