01:06:47 <jami> Hello, everyone. Can someone please tell me how to delete ALL entries in my checkbook prior to a certain date? I've got entries in there from 2004 that I'd like to clear out...
01:07:18 <jsled> There's no way to do so.
01:07:28 <jsled> Except by deleting each transaction one by oen.
01:07:47 <jami> no... really? I have to delete hundreds of entries one by one?
01:07:51 <jsled> yup.
01:08:21 <jsled> Depending on how handy you are, you could edit them out of the datafile itself.
01:08:22 <jami> Hmmm... isn't the data stored in an .xml file? Couldn't I eliminate the data from one of those?
01:08:24 <jsled> But I'd not recommend it.
01:09:30 <jami> Which datafile do I need to edit?
01:09:47 <jsled> your ... datafile. It's in the titlebar when you run gnucash.
01:09:54 <jsled> But make sure you close out gnucash before editing the file.
01:09:58 <jsled> And make a backup first, of course.
01:10:18 <jami> Hmmm... and where do I make suggestions for the next version of GnuCash... like, say, the ability to eliminate a whole bunch of entries prior to a certain date? :D
01:10:53 <jami> Hmm... so if my account is named "homeaccount", the datafile I'm going to want to work with is homeaccount.xml, right?
01:12:43 <jsled> just "homeaccount".
01:12:53 <jsled> We don't add any particular extension.
01:13:40 <jami> Okay. Thanks. Wish me luck!
01:13:45 <jsled> bugs and enhancement-requests both go to <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=GnuCash>, but we're well aware of the need for batch transaction operation, or for a specific "close books" feature.
01:14:02 <jsled> In fact, the currently devel builds have a "close out the books as of this date" feature.
01:14:16 <jsled> hopefully it'll make it into a near-term stable build.
01:14:17 <jami> Oh, well, since other people have already asked for it, I guess I don't need to add my voice, then. thanks.
01:14:42 <jami> Good night. Thanks again.

01:14:48 <jsled> take care.

03:32:19 <puck> Hey, with gnucash 2.2.3 when I enter a txn I've been a couple of times now "This transaction is already being edited in another register. Please finish editing it there first".
03:32:31 <puck> When I haven't been, is this a known issue?
03:35:15 <puck> The only work-around I've found so far is to cancel the edit (discard changes), recreate it with a different date, commit the transaction, then change the date.

16:04:32 *** garry has joined #gnucash
16:04:48 <garry> is there a way to get gnucash to print the vendors' address on a check?
16:07:32 <warlord> No
16:08:03 <garry> warlord: ok thanks
16:08:49 <warlord> but a patch to do that would be cool
16:09:07 *** wizkid238 has quit IRC
16:10:53 <garry> warlord: indeed
16:11:01 <warlord> (hint hint)
16:11:15 <andi5> warlord: so you are going to provide a patch? cool ;-)
16:11:25 <warlord> not me.
16:11:31 <andi5> hm...
16:11:33 <garry> warlord: quickbooks does that for me, so after the check is printed, i can put it in one of those 2 window see-thru envelopes and mail it. No extra labels needed
16:11:50 <garry> warlord: trying to see what things I need from gnucash in order to make the switch
16:11:56 <garry> warlord: i'm kinda over quickbooks
16:13:02 <warlord> ok

16:38:08 *** kielein has quit IRC
17:00:34 <garry> I have business checks that have the double stubs underneath, can gnucash print the check info on the stubs as well (account and amount) ?
17:00:52 <garry> the templates I saw only printed the check info on top
17:03:37 <warlord> You probably need to create a new template.
17:05:18 <garry> ok
