08:37:30 <ElectricBill> My trial balance does not balance. I didn't think it was possible. What don't I understand?
09:04:47 *** warlord-afk is now known as warlord
09:04:54 <warlord> ElectricBill: Capital Gains/Losses?
09:05:47 <ElectricBill> dunno - I'm not good at this - barely understand it - but I am bracketing by date to identify the xactions.
09:06:05 <ElectricBill> I've identified the date when it goes out of balance...
09:06:09 <ElectricBill> now fishing.
09:07:07 <ElectricBill> warlord, I think you are right. There is a stock buy/sell pair on that date.
09:07:23 <ElectricBill> But I don't understand the issue.
09:07:51 <ElectricBill> and yes, the amount in question match the capital gain amount.
09:08:01 <warlord> You buy stock at price X, sell at price Y. The difference is cap-gain, and you need to account for that.
09:08:17 <warlord> You need to enter it in manually. (see the docs)
09:08:56 <ElectricBill> OK. I didn't realize that. I figured the pgm would just notice the cap gain and do that appropriately.
09:09:40 <ElectricBill> I am preparing to generate qif files from my brokerage data, so I need to learn this now.
09:09:48 <ElectricBill> thanks
09:20:26 <ElectricBill> Can the pgm figure cap gain/loss itself if I work with lots? I saw something about lots somewhere.
09:29:10 <warlord> Not yet.
09:30:02 <ElectricBill> But I did see some provision for lots somewhere, didn't I? Is it useful to me?
09:42:21 <warlord> not yet
09:42:55 <ElectricBill> The wiki speaks of a scrub function... looking into that now. Or maybe I shouldn't?
09:51:48 *** eukreign has quit IRC
09:53:19 *** eukreign has joined #gnucash
09:57:18 <warlord> The scrub function for gains is turned off because it's not completely working.

11:37:49 <ElectricBill> scrub seems to be enabled and doing something here
11:38:45 <warlord> not cap gains
11:39:30 <ElectricBill> well, running it against a stock account with a buy and a sell produced a lot and...
11:39:51 <warlord> and...?
11:40:09 <ElectricBill> it also produced a transaction that is labeled "Orphaned Gains"
11:40:12 <warlord> Yes, If you scrub from the account from the Lot Editor it will do more than the automatic scrubbing.
11:40:46 <ElectricBill> That seems useful. Are you suggesting I shouldn't use it?
11:56:03 <warlord> That's exactly what I am suggesting.

12:51:10 <andrewsw> morning
12:51:30 <andrewsw> anyone have suggestions on running gnucash within gdb-mode in emacs?
12:51:54 <andrewsw> do I need to setup the environment first? (I have vague recollection of this)
12:54:09 <jsled> andrewsw: see HACKING
12:54:21 <jsled> Basically, it's $(gnucash-env gdb gnucash-bin)
12:57:15 <andrewsw> run that within the gud buffer?
12:57:34 * andrewsw review's jsled notes in HACKING
12:57:42 <andrewsw> oh
12:58:21 <jsled> Huh. That's weird that it doesn't mention gnucash-env.
13:12:44 *** MechtiIde has quit IRC
13:13:05 <andrewsw> oh I got it, I think. I have to just start gdb without any executable, start gnucash separately, and then attach.
13:13:16 <andrewsw> once a break is set, emacs sort of wakes up and start following the code.
13:44:12 <jsled> right. attaching is a bit weird like that

14:19:53 <andrewsw> wow. stepping through the destruction of an invoice is time consuming...
14:29:26 <andrewsw> heck just stepping through the destruction of a table is bad enough.

15:35:21 <dissident> I'm a touch confused at the reports modification behavior. If I run the 'Asset Piechart' report, and select in the options a new report name, and a different set of accounts to report on and finally hit apply or ok, the report name will change, but the selection of accounts to report on remains the same. Am I mis-understanding how to create my own custom reports?
