08:24:02 <warlord> @tell AlNahar It's best if you try using normal US daytime hours, 9am US/EST - 11pm US/EST. At 1:39am it's unlikely anyone is going to be around.
08:24:02 <gncbot> warlord: The operation succeeded.
08:33:28 <ltjohn> Is there a way to tell GnuCash to 'remember' settings I apply to invoices? (my custom css, footer message, display fields, etc.).
08:40:22 *** warlord has quit IRC
08:44:47 *** warlord has joined #gnucash
08:44:47 *** gncbot sets mode: +o warlord
08:45:33 <warlord> ltjohn: don't close the invoice report. just reset the invoice to 'print' by going through the report options. Otherwise, no.
08:55:56 <ltjohn> warlord: ok, thanks anyway
08:56:28 <warlord> There's no way to repoint the "Print Invoice" button to any other report.
09:03:53 <ltjohn> It seems odd that the report settings dialog offers lots of customizations (which is very nice), but no way to persist them between report views. I was sure I was missing something there.
09:05:15 <warlord> Well, there is the "Add Custom Report" feature, which will save the settings into the Custom report menu.
09:05:24 <warlord> But that's no better than just leaving the report open.

09:28:22 <ltjohn> thanks again warlord
09:32:43 <warlord> you're welcome.

09:58:08 *** freak4u has joined #gnucash
09:58:47 <freak4u> does anybody have any experience connecting to discovercard via ofx in gnucash?
09:59:03 <warlord> freak4u: Is it listed on the wiki?
09:59:13 <freak4u> yes, but I can't get it to work
09:59:23 <warlord> What happens when you try?
09:59:36 <freak4u> warlord, there is no BankID listed and the setup complains that I didn't enter a bankID
10:00:12 <warlord> Yes, you need your BankID
10:00:26 <freak4u> I can't find it anywhere for discover credit card
10:01:53 <warlord> BankID == FID
10:02:04 <warlord> http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/OFX_Direct_Connect_Bank_Settings
10:03:20 <freak4u> I tried that before and it didn't work, I'm trying it again though and I'll let you know
10:04:33 <warlord> If that doesn't work I suggest asking on the gnucash-user mailing list.
10:04:56 <freak4u> yeah, that's the next step. I was hunting on the archives earlier today
10:06:26 <warlord> ok
10:10:15 <freak4u> I just crashed gnucash with the settings I used. Oh well, back to the drawing board
10:11:35 <warlord> crashed?
10:12:12 <freak4u> yeah, but I changed the http version from 1.0 to 1.1 and I'm getting further. It crashed when I went to import
10:12:46 <warlord> huh... strange
10:13:16 <freak4u> yeah, I click get accounts in the setup wizard, it asks for my password, I authorize the cert and then it closes
10:13:45 <warlord> it crashes the setup wizrd or gnc?
10:14:04 <freak4u> wizard
10:14:37 <freak4u> and it doesn't remember that I accepted the cert
10:14:42 <warlord> ah, thats not our code -- you need to talk to the aqb folks about that
10:15:25 <freak4u> when I goto the account, actions -> get transactions it crashes gnc
10:15:44 <freak4u> but I'm guessing its because of that...time to turn on logging
10:16:08 <warlord> what version of gnc?
10:16:27 <freak4u> 2.2.0
10:16:33 <warlord> OH!
10:16:37 <freak4u> 2.2.6
10:16:38 <warlord> man thats pold.
10:16:38 <freak4u> sorry
10:16:43 <warlord> oh.. better.
10:16:44 <freak4u> I was looking at the docs version
10:16:51 <warlord> still, 2.2.7 is current
10:17:06 <warlord> and there were some ofx bugs fixed
10:17:09 <freak4u> looking though I see I have that available...don't know why my computer hasn't upgraded to it yet
10:17:10 <warlord> (i think)
10:17:16 <freak4u> :)
10:17:37 <freak4u> I'll try that, I'm running gentoo and I just did a world update...
10:17:53 <warlord> ok
10:18:34 <freak4u> usually that's the first thing I do, I'll be wicked embarassed if that fixes it
10:18:48 <warlord> heh

13:01:47 <fbond> Hi, I've imported transactions for my credit card and my checking account. Of course, they both contain a transaction for my CC payment. How can I link these two transactions?
13:02:07 <freak4u> via splits
13:02:09 <jsled> they should be the same transaction.
13:02:31 <jsled> the importer should (hopefully) help with the duplicate detection.
13:02:35 <jsled> (hey fbond. :)
13:02:41 <fbond> Right, I would like to make them the same transaction, but they were imported from different sources and GnuCash didn't seem to detect the situation...
13:02:45 <fbond> (hey :)
13:02:47 <jsled> which importer?
13:03:08 <fbond> One was OXF, the other was QIF.
13:03:11 <freak4u> warlord, the new version of gnucash fixed my issue
13:03:22 <jsled> hmm. the QIF importer is rather literal.
13:03:39 <freak4u> I still had a crash with acqbanking but once I accepted the cert in gnucash it's all set. thanks for the help warlord!
13:03:53 <fbond> I was hoping there was a way to do this after the fact...
13:04:03 <jsled> Unfortunately not. :(
13:04:18 <fbond> jsled: So should I remove one and then fill in the details on the other?
13:04:35 <jsled> right.
13:04:37 <fbond> (And is there a feature request for this already?)
13:04:50 <jsled> probably
13:06:24 <fbond> jsled: Thanks!
13:07:03 <fbond> BTW, GnuCash is pretty impressive... (although I have what I assume are the usual set of complaints with imports, etc. ;)
13:07:52 <fbond> Ameritrade's OFX service seems to be rather braindead; this remains to be a source of frustration.
13:08:57 <fbond> But GnuCash's UI is really fantastic.
13:10:03 <jsled> :)
13:14:55 <jsled> it's got some nice bits ... some not so nice bits, too.
13:19:27 <fbond> Well, I'm not that far in yet. I'm running through and marking expenditures, and that is pretty easy.

14:29:32 <ljb> GNU Cash Install Issues on MAC OS 10.5 Leopard
14:30:19 <ljb> I'm trying to use Fink to install gnucash on my Mac (Leopard 10.5.5) and it stops with this message:
14:31:21 <ljb> Can't resolve dependency "fink (>= 0.28-1)" for package "gnucash2-2.2.5-152"
14:31:42 <ljb> Any ideas what I may be doing wrong??

14:57:06 <ljb> I'm trying to install gnucash on Leopard 10.5.5 using Fink
14:57:30 <ljb> It stop with this message:
14:58:23 <ljb> Can't resolve dependency "fink (>= 0.28-1)" for package "gnucash2-2.2.5-152"
14:59:01 <ljb> can someone decode this for me or make suggestion for how I should proceed??
14:59:04 <ljb> Thanks
15:01:28 *** nomeata has joined #gnucash
15:05:25 <jsled> ljb: yup, we saw the question the first time.
15:05:46 <jsled> I don't know fink, but a quick google search reveals <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.tracker/17494>, which might be relevant.
15:17:43 *** bentob0x has quit IRC
15:29:29 <ljb> Sorry for the double post...I'm new to IRC
15:30:36 <ljb> I'm having some success with "fink index -f" and "fink selfupdate" but it's going to take a while.
15:30:48 <ljb> I'll let you know if it works
15:31:10 <jsled> well, those don't seem like gnucash-related issues, so you migth want to followup with fink help/support.
