13:05:39 <see-g> hi ... when I open the Tutorial for new users in the german version, I end up reading the site in english. Is there a readily available german version or is it just not translated yet?
13:06:53 <jsled> see-g: there's a german version of the old help manual, but the tutorial and concepts guide is more important; for that there is no translation.
13:06:55 <jsled> http://www.gnucash.org/docs.phtml
13:07:26 <jsled> Whoops, it looks like there's a german version of the 2.0 help manual. But the help manual is pretty much useless.
13:16:54 <see-g> yep ... the new users guide seems to be ok, though, but it's useless for my dad if it's in english
13:17:18 <see-g> well, I've got a job to do then ;)
13:17:39 <jsled> Well, if you can contribute it back, that'd be awesome.
13:19:00 <see-g> I'm just doing the Tip of the Day-thingy from the link you gave me and then I'll go and check out your mailing lists.

15:08:25 *** andrewsw-afk is now known as andrewsw
15:08:34 <andrewsw> hey... I *just* walked downstairs
15:08:40 <andrewsw> dang, wrong window
15:10:54 *** bz has joined #gnucash
15:11:26 <bz> I just upgraded to Gnucash 2.2.5, and I'm having some problems with ato interest payments...
15:11:42 <bz> In particular, the dialog won't let me change the accounts involved, and it's putting things in the wrong account
15:12:58 <andrewsw> what kind of interest payments?
15:13:03 <andrewsw> @op
15:13:03 *** gncbot sets mode: +o andrewsw
15:13:12 <bz> I have a savings account
15:13:16 <bz> I'm trying to reconcile it
15:13:52 <bz> There are two account selectors
15:13:54 <bz> "Payment From"
15:13:59 <bz> and "Recncile Account"
15:14:04 <bz> er, "Reconcile Account"
15:14:22 <andrewsw> okay, I'm looking at that window right now.
15:14:26 <bz> By default, the selected "Reconcile Account" is the account I'm reconciling, I think (hard to tell, since it's all grayed out)
15:14:45 <bz> If I enter my transaction description (that being "Interest"), then both account selectors change
15:14:47 <andrewsw> that's correct
15:15:12 <bz> Now the Reconcile Account is the income account that the interest payments have been coming from for past transactions labeled Interest
15:15:20 <bz> and the Payment From account is the savings account
15:15:25 <bz> which is backwards
15:16:47 <andrewsw> okay, I'm trying it out.
15:17:03 <andrewsw> hmmm... that is fishy.
15:17:19 <andrewsw> I had the same behavior, so I clicked "No Auto Interest...", which dumped me back out.
15:17:26 <bz> right
15:17:37 <andrewsw> THen I clicked "Enter Interest Payment..." again and it seems to be correct now.
15:17:44 <bz> Interesting
15:17:46 * bz tries
15:18:18 <bz> nope
15:18:20 <bz> still backwards
15:18:34 <bz> note that I _did_ enter one interest payment like this
15:18:36 <andrewsw> woops, my bad... I had entered the incorrect one and it was recalling that.
15:18:42 <bz> then changed it later
15:19:03 <bz> but I only entered it that way because that was all the dialog would let me do
15:19:19 <bz> the earlier interest payments were entered correctly (but by Gnucash 1.8)
15:20:23 <andrewsw> I find it hard to believe this wouldn't already have a bug... I'm search the database
15:21:19 * bz didn't find any
15:25:56 <andrewsw> I don't see it either. If you file it, I'll confirm it. Meanwhile you'll have to enter the interest manually.
15:26:03 <andrewsw> At least that should recall the splits properly.
15:26:09 <andrewsw> (the manual entry that is).
15:31:27 <bz> Filed http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=546301
15:31:47 <bz> andrewsw: thanks for checking it out
15:39:45 <andrewsw> bz.. it also shows in svn... I've confirmed the bug. thanks for reporting.
15:43:04 <bz> andrewsw: no problem. Here
15:43:14 <bz> er, here's hoping it gets fixed soonish...
15:43:40 <bz> I guess if it pisses me off enough I'll be back asking where the source for this dialog lives. ;)
15:43:52 <andrewsw> I would hop right on it if I had time. :(
15:43:58 <bz> heh
15:44:00 * bz too
15:44:20 <bz> I'll trade mozilla fixes for gnucash fixes, if anyone cares. :)
15:44:28 <bz> comparative advantage and all that

16:40:59 <taerix> Hey guys.
16:41:13 <taerix> So I looked all over, but I can't figure out a way to add a new currency.
16:41:29 <taerix> Is there any way to do this?
16:45:32 <jsled> not without editing the sources, no.
16:45:38 <taerix> Ok, thanks.
16:45:42 <jsled> Well, a config file.
16:45:53 <taerix> Well, I can probably handle that...
16:45:53 <jsled> (same thing, effectively)
16:46:01 <taerix> Is there just a list somewhere?
16:46:35 <jsled> yeah. src/engine/iso-4217-surrencies.scm
16:46:40 <taerix> Awesome.
16:46:56 <taerix> Thanks for your help.
16:47:01 <jsled> I mean, you still need to do a full rebuild, but…
16:47:05 <taerix> Yeah
16:47:26 <jsled> If you can, please submit the patch via bugzilla
16:47:28 <taerix> But the less things I have to change the more likely I won't mess anything up.
16:47:30 <jsled> What's the missing currency?
16:47:34 <taerix> Um..
16:47:39 <taerix> I was actually just going to track my beer.
16:47:54 <jsled> Ah. Well, you can create new commodities.
16:48:01 <jsled> You just can't create *currencies*
16:48:01 <taerix> Yeah, I tried doing that.
16:48:15 <taerix> I tried making a commodity to begin with.
16:48:26 <taerix> But I couldn't find a way to just give it away (sell for nothing?)
16:49:46 <jsled> Hmm. Yeah, you should be able to set the price to 0. … or maybe 0.00001 or something.
16:49:59 <taerix> Yeah I tried doing exactly that.
16:50:04 <taerix> It doesn't let you set it to 0
16:50:17 <taerix> And I'm a little anal, so some really small number would bother me.
16:50:20 <jsled> Ah. /me doesn't know that part of the product well.
16:50:30 <taerix> Alright.
16:50:33 <taerix> Well I've got to go.
16:50:34 <jsled> It sounds like you're trying to do inventory, though?
16:50:37 <taerix> Yeah
16:50:58 <jsled> Yeah ... don't really support inventory right now.
16:51:06 <jsled> (as you know. :)
16:51:07 <taerix> Kk.
16:51:08 <taerix> Heh
16:51:13 <taerix> Thanks a ton for your help though.
16:51:25 <jsled> you're welcome
16:51:26 <taerix> Cheers!

22:50:48 <quist> I am trying to generate a report of my GST paid and collected in 2007
22:51:03 <quist> No success using the standard Income-Expense Report
22:53:58 <quist> I can select the dates using the Options->General Tab
22:54:05 <quist> Start Date and End Date
22:54:31 <quist> Hows does one change the Options-Accounts?
22:54:39 <quist> The defaults work..
22:55:12 <quist> as defined but I need to add some reporting for the Liabilities->HST-GST Paid and Payable Accounts
22:55:29 <quist> Nothing intuitive seems to work here.
