12:43:19 <bluefox> Can i save a multicolumn view report
12:43:30 <bluefox> so that when I open gnucash I hit something and it shows me the report, regenerated?

18:08:10 <zarchne> Any software to help scanning receipts into gnucash?
18:09:29 <jsled> no, but that'd be awesome.
18:10:04 <jsled> There's a long-standing bug/RFE about being able to associate images (receipts) to transactions, which might be what you're after.
18:10:19 <jsled> ocr(scan(receipt)) -> transaction would be awesome, too.
18:10:58 <zarchne> Any issues with developing gnucash on etch?
18:12:47 <jsled> I ... don't think so.
18:13:02 <jsled> I think it has sufficiently-recent libraries, &c.
18:13:21 <jsled> Our core deps have been available for a couple of years, now, so pretty much everywhere has them.
18:13:35 <jsled> As it builds on etch, there shouldn't be a problem doing dev on etch.
18:13:43 * zarchne nods.
18:14:55 <warlord> I dont think trunk has changed the minimum deps (yet)

18:32:09 *** Exemplary has joined #gnucash
18:32:19 <Exemplary> anyone here?
18:32:27 <zarchne> nope.
18:32:34 <Exemplary> i see
18:33:04 <Exemplary> ..you
18:33:20 <warlord> Nobody here but us lights.......
18:33:23 <warlord> .... and we're out.
18:34:00 <Exemplary> - /switch on
18:34:31 <Exemplary> i have a question, i wonder if anyone can shed some light :)
18:35:13 <Exemplary> I want to use gnucash for barclays banking, does it allow importing of MS Money data?
18:35:45 <warlord> GnuCash can import QIF of OFX (or HBCI if you're in Germany)
18:36:35 <Exemplary> hmm, interesting
18:37:13 <Exemplary> lets try..
18:38:46 *** _gunni_ has quit IRC
18:38:51 <Exemplary> just need a way to have a large db of my statements - cheap skate bank only goes back 2 months
18:39:19 <warlord> Well, if you have your data in MS Money, just export to QIF and import the QIF into GnuCash
18:39:43 <Exemplary> Yup, just downloading gnucash
18:39:58 <Exemplary> think im going to start making db from this year
18:40:53 <Exemplary> How does it compare to Money Manager Ex?
18:41:24 <warlord> No clue. Never used MMEx
18:41:38 <Exemplary> oh ok
18:47:04 *** warlord2 has joined #gnucash
18:47:22 <Exemplary> yay, managed to import it
18:47:32 <Exemplary> something wrong with the graphics though when scrolling
18:51:28 <Exemplary> can it download the data automatically from my bank?

19:18:25 *** backit has joined #gnucash
19:18:31 <backit> hi
19:18:56 <backit> i'd like to translate help manual of gnucash
19:19:07 <backit> but i need some help
19:20:35 *** backit is now known as Backslash
19:21:23 <Backslash> on the wiki http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Translation#How_to_translate_the_GnuCash_guide_and.2For_help_files
19:21:55 <Backslash> i don't find the help/C directory
19:21:57 <warlord> bias....
19:22:03 *** warlord has quit IRC
19:22:40 <jsled> http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash-docs/trunk/help/C/
19:22:45 *** warlord has joined #gnucash
19:22:45 *** gncbot sets mode: +o warlord
19:23:09 <Backslash> oh i thoght it was on my pc sry
19:23:20 <warlord> okay... Backslash Are you looking in the gnucash-docs package/module?
19:24:23 <Backslash> i'm looking in the link upon
19:24:38 <Backslash> in the gnucash-help.xml section
19:24:57 <Backslash> i think it's that to edit, right?
19:26:14 <warlord> i believe so. but you'd need to copy-and-paste to a new directory for your translation..
19:27:34 <Backslash> mmm it seems harder than i thought
19:29:24 <Backslash> an easy xml editor for linux?
19:30:56 <warlord> emacs?
19:31:26 <Backslash> kate?
19:32:29 <Backslash> ok kate do it
19:33:21 *** Demitar_ has joined #gnucash
19:33:30 *** Demitar has quit IRC
19:33:33 <warlord> No idea. never heard of kate.
19:35:01 <Backslash> just one more question :P
19:35:38 <Backslash> when translated how to see the final work in final way?
19:35:51 <Backslash> with the kde guide
19:36:16 <Backslash> maybe a browser it's enought?
19:36:52 <Backslash> *enough
19:39:05 <warlord> yast? kdehelp?
19:40:20 <Backslash> ok thx a lot

19:56:34 *** cortana has joined #gnucash
20:08:54 <zarchne> What's the preferred input format?
20:09:06 <warlord> Keyboard and Mouse
20:10:59 <zarchne> warlord: I suspect you know what I mean. If I were writing an external program to generate records for gnucash, is there a documented format with the fewest limitations vis a vis gnucash's capabilities. (I've written perl utilities that output iif to quickbooks, for instance.)
20:11:16 <warlord> QIF
20:11:45 <zarchne> Okay.
20:12:04 <warlord> You have PERL code that outputs IIF?!? You've found documentation of the IIF Format?!?
20:12:35 <zarchne> Yeah...
20:12:51 <zarchne> Used to be on the quickbooks support site...
20:12:58 <warlord> Really?
20:13:00 <warlord> Huh!
20:13:08 <warlord> Would you care to write (in C) an IIF parser?
20:13:16 <warlord> .. and donate it to us?
20:13:32 <warlord> We've had lots of requests for a QB Importer.
20:13:43 <zarchne> I can imagine.
20:14:05 <zarchne> Your request is noted.
20:14:11 <warlord> Thanks!
20:14:22 <warlord> You'd have the gratitude of LOTS of people, including us devs.
20:14:58 <warlord> Basically your two choices right now are QIF or OFX.. But OFX doesn't handle split txns
20:16:10 <warlord> okay, I need to move (which implies changing networks) BIAB.
20:16:23 *** warlord has quit IRC
20:31:17 * zarchne feels a little like Donald Knuth might have in 1977. And grins.

23:37:23 <micah> how do I set a start date for a summary?
23:38:43 <bluefox> warlord-afk: I should bug that
23:40:20 <micah> i can only pick an end date in the options box
23:40:22 <micah> not a range
