12:30:52 <xuser> Hi, can gcash do inventories? like keep track of what items are in stock
12:35:03 <jsled> no
12:35:54 *** jsled changes topic to "Free GPL Personal and Small Business Accounting || Please don't ask to ask, just ask and wait! || publically-logged channel || latest stable: 2.2.9"
12:36:07 <xuser> darn
12:36:07 <xuser> ok
12:43:18 <xuser> I'll just use a spreadsheet for that

15:25:20 <xuser> can gcash print invoices to a POS receipt printer?
15:27:23 <warlord> Why would you want a Piece of Shit printer?
15:27:50 <xuser> lol
15:27:56 <warlord> In all seriousness.... how is a POS printer any different than any other printer?
15:28:48 <xuser> warlord: I mean, can I fit the receipt in a small printer like those POS printers?
15:29:17 <warlord> Not without hacking the reports. They are designed for Letter/A4
15:30:16 <xuser> Ok

16:44:47 <JBHowick> I'm an unhappy Peachtree Accounting user that needs to clean up a mess of accounting. I need two features. (a) I need the ability to generate reports for any date in the past (most frequently, general ledger reports, even years ago). (b) I need the ability to modify data in the past. Yes, this isn't GAAP compliant, but I've made too many mistakes in Peachtree only to lose the ability to fix them because it took more than a yea
17:02:02 <jsled> well, gnucash has no past-date editing limits. storing multiple years of data is helped as computers get faster, though some haven't been happy with gnucash's performance with lots of data.
17:02:26 <jsled> you should look to see if the reporting is sufficient, and/or what other features you need.

18:11:28 *** otac0n has joined #gnucash
18:13:27 <otac0n> Hey, yall, If I want to create a report, where do I start?
18:13:46 <otac0n> I have drScheme and have learned just enough to be dangerous. ;)
18:13:50 <jsled> http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports
18:14:44 <otac0n> Cool, and where should I put my dev copy of the report?
18:15:07 <otac0n> nvm, i see it there...
18:16:58 <JBHowick> Thanks, @jsled. Past-date editing is more important than the reporting at this time.
18:18:50 *** daedeloth has quit IRC
18:19:04 <otac0n> Acutally, I don't have a "config.user" file in my "C:\Users\otac0n\.gnucash\" folder... Is this different on windows?
18:19:44 <jsled> you might need to create it.
18:19:53 <otac0n> okiedokie.
18:22:13 <otac0n> One last thing: Does the reporting engine have access to the scheduled transactions?
18:22:36 <jsled> no
18:22:40 <otac0n> Shit
18:22:52 <otac0n> I wanted to project the upcoming balances...
18:23:07 <warlord> Sorry.
18:23:13 <otac0n> No biggie.
18:23:13 <jsled> it shouldn't be *too* hard to wrap the relevant functions and structures.
18:23:17 <otac0n> Is this planned?
18:23:33 <jsled> there's a nice little api to do all the heavy lifting on the SX site … it's just not scheme-wrapped for consumption.
18:23:37 <jsled> s/site/side/
18:23:53 <jsled> not planned, no.
18:23:56 <otac0n> ok,
18:24:51 <otac0n> I was writing an external app to do this. I have a pretty full parser of the Gz/XML format in C#. I just didn't want to duplicate the functionality of the engine if I didn't have to.
18:25:23 <otac0n> I guess, if I want to stay within the spirit of the project, I should work on a C# / SWIK wrapper, or whatever, right?
18:25:59 <jsled> swig. and, that'd be nice, sure. though if you really want to say w/in the spirit, just do the stuff in C. :)
18:26:24 <otac0n> I left C years ago. ;)
18:27:12 <otac0n> So, where should I start on the swig thing? I think I have the swig API, or runtime, or whatever downloaded already.
18:27:41 <jsled> take a look at existing .i files, swig docs, extrapolate.
18:27:46 <jsled> Oh, and the relevant SX api …
18:27:46 <otac0n> k
18:27:54 <otac0n> folders?
18:28:09 <jsled> src/app-utils/gnc-sx-instance-model.{c,h}
18:28:16 <otac0n> kk
18:28:42 <jsled> as for swig .i files … just `find src -iname '*.i'` …
18:29:05 <otac0n> You mean "dir /s *.i"
18:29:07 <otac0n> ;)
18:29:32 * jsled shudders
18:29:41 <otac0n> lol
18:30:11 <otac0n> ah, are the python bindings a good place to look?
18:30:28 <jsled> I can't say.
18:31:01 <jsled> nor can I say any more, since I'm going afk. g'luck. :)
18:31:11 <otac0n> kk, thx.
