04:46:00 <yrro> chip: best approach might just be to try it
04:46:18 <yrro> in gnucash you would create an expense account for each of the things you want to keep track of, they are analagous to your categories

09:19:02 <Cyorxamp> Lo, does it have to make all these .log and .xac files - from what I can tell it doesn't need them... also what is the file extension supposed to be of the main file?
09:20:37 <yrro> Cyorxamp: you can call the main file anything you want
09:20:55 <yrro> the .xac files are backups made each time you save, and .log are transaction logs for recovering from crashes &c
09:21:30 <Cyorxamp> they're annoying, can I turn their creation off?
09:22:34 <yrro> not afaik
09:29:08 *** nbinon2 has joined #gnucash
09:29:15 <Rolf1> Cyorxamp: You can turn them off.
09:30:46 <Rolf1> But maybe you can also convince warlord in bug 537605 that this is not a good idea
09:31:00 <Rolf1> he is a rather stubborn type, though
09:31:32 <Rolf1> If he is convinced of something, it usually does not matter how many people tell him they think differently
09:31:35 <Cyorxamp> Well considering any other reasonable program understands logging shouldn't be on as a default - whats to get?
09:31:46 <Cyorxamp> If left unchecked it could fill whatever allocated space it might have
09:33:21 <Rolf1> no
09:33:32 <Rolf1> it keeps x number of days of backup
09:33:39 <Rolf1> I still think this is bogus
09:33:57 <Rolf1> certainly given the fact that most people would not even know these are backup files
09:34:11 <Cyorxamp> I dunno, if the thing doesn't even have a file extension - if its not a proper 'Document' in the normal sense
09:34:12 <Rolf1> so even in case they needed them, they would not know they had them
09:34:13 <yrro> 14 days i think
09:34:19 <Cyorxamp> then I'd say its a Profile
09:34:26 <Cyorxamp> like a Firefox profile or Pidgin profile
09:34:36 <Cyorxamp> capable of multiple accounts
09:34:43 <Rolf1> Cyorxamp: not everybody is on windows
09:34:47 <Cyorxamp> thus a 'directory' to save to instead of file is reasonable
09:34:51 <Rolf1> in fact, smart people aren't ;-)
09:35:19 <Cyorxamp> what makes you think I'm on Windows?
09:41:57 <Rolf1> "if the thing doesn't even have a file extension - if its not a proper 'Document' in the normal sense"
09:42:04 <Rolf1> that is nonsense
09:42:11 <Cyorxamp> How is it?
09:42:15 <Rolf1> something that Windows people are accustomed to
09:42:22 <Cyorxamp> It's not just Windows users
09:42:26 <Rolf1> "man file"
09:42:36 <Rolf1> then it's nonsense elsewhere, too
09:42:46 <Cyorxamp> OASIS OpenDocument format doesn't need file extensions... but it does
09:42:57 <Cyorxamp> And thats meant for cross compatibility
