05:36:47 <enriq> I´m supposed to change my locale to display the currency as $ and the rest by iso-code. What exactly does this mean in ubuntu (well, gnewsense actually)?
06:21:10 <enriq> is it possible to only change LC_MONETARY? doesn´t seem to work...
06:21:23 <enriq> I won´t like to change the locale for all

08:18:34 *** warlord-afk is now known as warlord
08:18:57 <warlord> enriq: The short answer is: doing what you want is HARD.
08:19:41 <enriq> warlord: how hard?
08:20:34 <warlord> pattern: You can already script in scheme.. And there will be python interfaces in 2.3/2.4 (although they are not fully complete)
08:20:43 <warlord> As for dbus... I doubt that will happen.
08:21:57 <warlord> enriq: The system just isn't designed to do what you want.. You could try to change LC_MONETARY but that would also change your default currency.
08:22:04 *** soa2ii has joined #gnucash
08:23:37 <enriq> ok

08:53:43 <pattern> warlord: the problem is i don't know schme... or python
08:54:16 <warlord> Then learn?
08:54:38 <warlord> Do you know C?
08:54:45 <pattern> that's the good thing about interfaces like dbus... you can use whatever language you like to interface with the program implementing it
08:55:05 <pattern> yeah, i know c... though i try to avoid it if possible
08:55:41 <pattern> right now i mostly use perl
08:56:29 <warlord> One could theorize perl bindings. (We use Swig)
08:56:50 <warlord> But dbus.... Before dbus there was bonobo..
08:56:58 <warlord> and orbit.
08:57:00 <pattern> and dcop :)
08:57:13 <warlord> Yeah, so... it's really a moving target.
08:57:31 <warlord> We've seen all those various systems come and go over the life of GnuCash.
08:57:38 <warlord> So it's a GOOD thing we didn't embrace it.
08:57:44 <pattern> yeah, i hear you
08:58:01 <pattern> don't know how difficult they'd be to implement either
08:58:16 <pattern> if it's a huge deal, i could see why you'd want to wait until a standard is established
08:59:10 <warlord> It would probably be a huge deal, especially considering the dearth of dev cycles we have.
08:59:34 <pattern> guess i'd better learn python :)
09:00:05 <pattern> i've been meaning to do so anyway... considering how many open source projects have python interfaces...
09:00:17 <pattern> it's really taking over in a big way
09:01:09 <warlord> Right now Scheme is better supported.
09:03:42 <pattern> another language that's good to know :)
09:05:20 <warlord> :)
09:19:31 *** Jimraehl has left #gnucash
09:33:55 <tyabux> warlord, dbus is more widely accepted than bonobo ever was though.
09:34:10 <warlord> True..
09:34:16 <tyabux> and it's available for windows too.
09:34:18 <warlord> But will dbus last another 5-10 years?
09:34:43 <tyabux> I'd think so. It's more independent and well thought through, i think.
09:35:31 <warlord> Well, you're welcome to supply patches to integrate a dbus control.
09:36:04 <tyabux> not tonight! I'm off to party :)
09:36:07 <tyabux> have a nice weekend.
09:42:52 <warlord> you too

14:24:30 *** solars has joined #gnucash
14:25:38 <solars> hi, just a quick question while starting with gnucash, if I import a qfx file I can see the description in the 'memo' column, since this column isn't present in the list of transactions of my account, is there a way to customize this or make this column visible?
14:26:31 <warlord> The "memo" is part of the split -- expand the transaction(s) to see it/them
14:27:31 <solars> hm, sorry, but how do I expand it?
14:29:14 <solars> ah found it
14:29:15 <solars> thank you!
