06:07:24 <esperegu> is it also possible to really create an invoice template instead of only changing the header etc?

06:50:46 <F4te> heya, is there any way to disable the data files as I have gnucash saving my accounts to a usb key and I don't want too many writes.
07:18:20 <andi5> what data files you mean? auto-saves?
07:18:55 <andi5> there is both, a setting for auto-save timeouts (i guess 0 would be for you then) and the duration to keep old backup files

08:35:15 *** jhaarman has joined #gnucash
08:35:53 <jhaarman> is it possible to have my own template for invoices? (instead of just adding a logo as a picture)
08:37:17 *** jhaarman is now known as esperegu
08:43:26 <F4te> sorry andi5 I mean the log files, that are used for recovery
08:44:49 <F4te> they're called like <Account><Date>.log and the same but .xac
08:45:38 <F4te> (I'm on a windows system)

09:27:09 *** Plouj has joined #gnucash
09:27:25 <Plouj> I think you guys should nominate this project for http://www.linux.com/feature/145634 - $10K
09:36:51 <esperegu> anyone has tips how to get started for the netherlands?
09:46:25 *** esperegu has quit IRC
09:52:39 *** esperegu has joined #gnucash
09:58:06 <andi5> F4te: i am not sure those log files are configurable... maybe the "keep_backup_files_time" configuration parameter can be used for them as well
09:59:57 <andi5> esperegu: do you mean that the interface starts up in english? typically you just export the environment variable LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8 and everything translated into dutch should show up that way
10:03:28 <esperegu> andi5: more like which scheme to use and how to use it for dutch tax etc.
10:04:07 <esperegu> I just also noticed that it is not possible to have a contact with a 'customer' (which often is a business)
10:04:34 <esperegu> Or is that the idea of the Name under billing address?
10:07:29 <esperegu> looks that way. maybe it's a good idea to name that differently in that case.
10:07:40 <esperegu> maybe 'contact name'
10:36:05 <esperegu> how to get a list of all customers?
10:39:07 <esperegu> does gnucash also has the concepts of articles?
10:44:35 *** Demitar has joined #gnucash
10:49:25 <esperegu> anyone?
11:01:55 <jsled> For the list of all customers, you can do a regexp search for ".*" in the search box.
11:02:14 <jsled> I don't know what you mean by "articles", maybe if you explain a bit …?
11:02:16 <esperegu> jsled: cool.
11:02:20 <esperegu> jsled: sure
11:02:56 <esperegu> jsled: well. like I have a hosting package. Then I want to create an invoice based on that hosting package.
11:03:31 <esperegu> so that I can just select 'new invoice' select the appropriete customer and package and then create the invoice
11:03:40 <jsled> No, I don't believe it does.
11:04:03 <esperegu> hmm.. that seems prety basic if you ask me
11:04:16 <esperegu> how should that be done then?
11:05:24 <esperegu> or anyone capable of implementing this? ;-)
11:06:03 <jsled> You could file an RFE, or make a request on the mailing list.
11:06:26 <jsled> Privately contract with someone to do the implementation.
11:09:04 <esperegu> jsled: that should be send to the devel list right?
11:09:11 <jsled> Or -user.
11:09:29 <jsled> But the response will probably be "please file an RFE so it doesn't get lost".
11:09:33 <jsled> So, you might just do that. :)
11:09:44 <esperegu> where?
11:10:01 <jsled> http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GnuCash
11:11:59 <esperegu> jsled: just enter it as a bug?
11:12:35 <jsled> yes, with a severity of "Enhancement"
11:17:06 <esperegu> k. done
11:20:19 <esperegu> jsled: is it possible to create those things externaly and import itL
11:20:22 <esperegu> ?
11:20:58 <jsled> I don't believe so, but I don't know.
11:21:12 <esperegu> k thx.

15:17:11 <Mike> does anyone have an information on the ability to add a "difference" column to the Budget Report?
15:17:25 <jsled> what sort of information?
15:18:55 <Mike> well i have a budget set up (as in the amount of money allocated to a specific expense per month), and i run the budget report which will show that number as well as what was actually spent. I would like a column that shows the difference between these 2 (i.e. what i was allowed to spend, and what i actually spent)
15:21:31 <jsled> I don't know. If it's not in the options for the report, then it might need to be added.
15:21:39 <warlord-slow> SMOP
15:23:10 <Mike> SMOP?
15:23:35 <Mike> jsled, you are correct that it is not in the options for the report
15:24:11 <warlord-slow> Simple Matter of Programming
15:25:39 <Mike> i figured as much, however my programming knowledge consisted of Java, and thats about it
15:25:55 <warlord-slow> Take a day and learn scheme.
15:26:00 <warlord-slow> it'll be worth your time
15:26:03 <Mike> I have dipped my toes int he pool of C++ and VB a long time ago, but that is all
