11:41:57 <Mekzholan> Hi, is there a HBCI version for Ubuntu 8.04 available?
11:43:45 <jsled> No. See http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Debian#Creating_packages_with_HBCI_and_aqofxconnect_enabled for details, and http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Ubuntu as well.

15:14:31 <egs> hello
15:15:02 <egs> just switched to gnucash
15:15:28 <egs> looking for help on automatically classifying transactions based on the payor/payee
15:15:58 <egs> how do you guys classify the long list of transactions that you download from the bank?
15:17:33 <jsled> "download" via what mechanism?
15:17:55 <jsled> Both the QIF and other importers have some notion of transaction matching, though they do it in different ways.
15:23:17 *** cortana has quit IRC
15:23:26 <egs> I am importing from QFX.
15:23:32 <egs> How do I do transaction matching?
15:24:33 <jsled> In the Preferences, there's an option to "enable bayesian matching".
15:25:40 <egs> thanks! lemme check it out.
15:28:15 <egs> jsled, thank you very much, i see the option and enabled it, but what do I do about the 1.5 years of transactions I already imported?
15:28:28 <jsled> what do you mean?
15:28:47 <egs> I have accounts where I imported a few thousand transactions.
15:28:59 <egs> none of them are classified, and I have had to classify each by hand.
15:29:08 <egs> I only did a few hundred and gave up.
15:29:42 <egs> I would like gnucash to figure out that "Deposit from MyEmployer" should go under Income:Salary
15:30:02 <egs> any way to do this?
15:30:12 <jsled> Not for already-imported transactions, no.
15:30:33 <egs> Ok, can I select several transactions at a time and switch them all at the same time?
15:30:38 <egs> the UI won't let me select.
15:30:52 <jsled> No, you cannot.
15:31:00 <jsled> There's no batch transaction changing.
15:31:18 <egs> ok... any way I can dump everything into a file, run awk over it?
15:31:21 <jsled> Your best bet is to either delete or go to an old backup file, then re-import batches.
15:31:51 <egs> I see.
15:32:09 <jsled> The datafile is gzip'ed xml, so you might have success xslt'ing that around.
15:32:19 <jsled> Or using your favorite scripting language.
15:32:19 <egs> ah excellent!
15:32:24 <egs> I was wondering what that was.
15:32:29 <egs> let me check it out.
15:34:02 <egs> ok, that's a great start!
15:34:40 <egs> thank you very much -- at least I can now modify the Description field to make it more readable.
15:35:05 <egs> I'll see if I can modify the classification through a script.
15:35:15 <egs> seems like batch operations would be very useful for gnucash.
15:35:20 <jsled> you're welcome.
15:35:31 <jsled> Yes, they would. It's been an RFE for a long time.
15:36:02 <egs> just the ability to select multiple objects in the GUI and switch them at the same time would have been great.
15:36:24 <egs> thanks again.

23:01:45 <dbreiser> Can one define the same G_LOG_DOMAIN in multiple .c files?
23:01:57 *** twunder has quit IRC
23:42:46 <jsled> dbreiser: sure.
23:43:28 <dbreiser> thanks. I'm going to try to track down an inconsistency between ofx import and aqbanking ofxdirectconnect
23:43:59 <dbreiser> somehow, the check number isn't making it over usably for the matching probability calculator
23:44:40 <dbreiser> when using aqbanking. Same data stream works fine for File->import
23:45:10 <dbreiser> is gnc.import a reasonable log domain?
23:49:06 <jsled> sure.
23:49:43 <jsled> I think the Makefile.am in src/import-export sets "gnc.i-e".
23:49:49 <jsled> Well, I know, because I'm looking at it.
23:50:28 <jsled> OFX sets "gnc.import.ofx", csv sets "gnc.import.csv", &c.
23:51:03 <jsled> But it's really just a "." separated path, so whateverr works best for how you want to manipulate log levels.
23:52:34 <dbreiser> hmm. I guess I'll look at gnc.i-e first to see if it makes sense to expand that instead of rolling my own
23:53:08 <dbreiser> and I have no clue how I want to manipulate levels, so I guess I'm gonna learn something :-)
