12:46:12 <NielsE> I have bought some books for my education, and now I get that money back from my parents, should that go to income, or a negative expense?

13:13:45 <warlord> NielsE: it depends why they're giving you money. It could be Income. It could be a negative expense. it could be equity.
13:13:55 <warlord> it could even be a liability.
13:23:06 *** twunder has joined #gnucash
13:23:45 <NielsE> after giving it some thought I think Income:Gifts is the most suitable one
13:29:12 <warlord> there ya go
13:29:59 <NielsE> thanks for the help :)
13:32:45 <warlord> you'rewelcome

13:55:12 <[Cadet]> Anybody have a yes/no answer if gnucash works with datafiles mounted over sshfs? I've been searching the web and see others who have had problems with it but no solutions. The original file was located on an nfs share but I've also tried placing it elsewhere. Cannot obtain lock, open it anyway and when I write the file it is deleted. Pointers to docs/howtos would be apprecited too. I haven't had much luck in my searches
13:55:47 <[Cadet]> I finally talked my wife into moving to gnucash from quickbooks and it works for her locally via the NFS mount while she is in linux but from what I have been reading we'll run into the same issue when she goes to her windows install and tries accessing the datafile from the smb share right?
13:56:28 <[Cadet]> I downloaded SFU from M$ so maybe the windows access is not a big deal but I want to be able to access/update the data file remotely if possible
14:03:55 <warlord> I believe the answer is "no".
14:04:20 <warlord> (to sshfs)
14:04:27 <[Cadet]> Thanks for an answer even it it was what I was thinking it would be and did not want to hear it
14:04:32 <warlord> It's unclear if it'll work from windows over a samba share... it MIGHT.
14:05:39 <[Cadet]> warlord: Ok, She's never like linux much before but after the latest windows crass/data loss she seems to be more interested in staying in linux. Maybe we will not have to worry about the smb share
14:06:11 <[Cadet]> It just seemed that most of the messages I found was pretty much saying that the same type of problem I'm seeing with sshfs were observed over smb mounts
14:06:35 <warlord> Well, they were seem over smb mounts from linux...
14:06:45 <warlord> It's unclear how it would work over an smb mount from windows.
14:07:28 <[Cadet]> Ok, that sounds good
14:08:09 <[Cadet]> Any thoughts on how to be able to access the datafile remotely? Running a remote gnucash is very slow.
14:13:48 <warlord> VNC?
14:19:10 *** hachi has joined #gnucash
14:22:00 <[Cadet]> No using ssh like ssh -X some@host and then running gnucash
14:22:22 *** jsled has quit IRC
14:22:26 <hachi> So, my bank likes to prepend all transactions with helpful strings like "POS PURCHASE" or "CHECK CRD PURCHASE" in the description field... I'd love to get this into some other field like "Notes"
14:22:47 <warlord> [Cadet]: Sorry, VNC was my suggestion to you.
14:22:56 <hachi> has anyone done work on this at all? I know I can get rid of those strings really quick with sed, but I'd love to use a more elegant solution if one exists
14:23:08 <warlord> hachi: QIF? OFX?
14:23:21 <[Cadet]> warlord: Oh ok, I guess it couldn't hurt to try it. Thanks for the suggestion
14:23:55 <hachi> warlord: quicken exported, so... qif?
14:24:09 <warlord> It's what I use to connect to my gnucash running back at home while I'm on the road. I run VNC over ssh.
14:24:09 <hachi> yeah, qif
14:24:37 <[Cadet]> warlord: and that is faster than just running the program itself?
14:25:03 <warlord> hachi: Well, first, you need to be running 2.2.3 or (MAYBE) 2.2.4 (which hasn't been released yet) to get the QIF importer fixes that will handle this, but... You could modify the QIF to add both a description and memo field by splitting the string.
14:25:16 <warlord> [Cadet]: Yes. Remote-X is horrible. VNC is much better.
14:25:27 <hachi> warlord: yeah... so sed, like I said
14:25:35 <hachi> but I was hoping for a more elegant solution
14:25:36 <warlord> sed... or perl.
14:25:50 <warlord> Nope. You need SOME tool to modify the data.
14:26:02 <warlord> GnuCash wants to take your input directly.
14:26:09 <hachi> okay, so that... slightly independant of this question
14:26:19 <hachi> does gnucash have any sort of plugins structure to it?
14:26:27 <warlord> yes....
14:26:28 <hachi> I'd love to hook into actions and things
14:26:41 <hachi> okiedokie, I'll... dig till I find docs
14:27:07 <warlord> http://cvs.gnucash.org/docs/HEAD is a good place to start
14:27:15 <warlord> But... the APIs are not very well documented.
14:27:30 <hachi> written in C?
14:27:32 <warlord> And the hooks are not quite all fully fleshed out.
14:27:33 <warlord> Mostly
