09:49:45 <bougi> hi! I want to make sure I understand "Equity:Opening Balances" correctly. I use it when I create a new Account and I want to declare that I already had some money, which I am now going to track. For example I want to keep track of my piggy money-box. If, the moment I begin the money-box tracking, I had in there 100 USD then I put them in "Equity:Opening Balances" and as an Increase transfer to "Assets:MoneyBox".
09:50:05 <bougi> Is this a correct usage of the "Equity:Opening Balances"?

11:41:25 <blizgerg> bougi: As far as I understand yes that is correct usage of opening balances
11:46:57 *** jsled sets mode: +o gncbot
12:01:19 <bougi> blizgerg: In http://svn.gnucash.org/docs/guide/txns-puttoget1.html , 4.7.2 it says "the starting balances in an account are typically assigned to a special account called Equity:Opening Balance" and this is the only reference I found (I think it's repeated in 1-2 other places)
12:01:25 <bougi> ok thanks!

16:00:43 <daedeloth> hm, weird, I'm creating an invoice for a client and it's using the "vat to receive" account instead of the "vat to pay" account
16:03:01 <daedeloth> never mind, found it
16:03:46 <daedeloth> what I'm wondering now, next year, do I open a new accounting file or do I keep using the old one? :p

17:35:00 <Salog> hi, i am using gentoo and I observe the following problem: when trying to open a file that is on a samba share, i recieve an error that the url cannot be processed (freely translated). if i move that file to a local directory, it opens just fine. i dont believe it is a gnucash bug, but maybe you can point me in the direction to investigate further. thanks

17:46:05 <Salog> on the other hand i just found http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2008-April/024980.html maybe its gnucash?

18:24:12 <lcafiero> Hi, can anyone tell me how close gnucash is to being stable -- the MySQL version, that is?
18:42:13 *** demitar has quit IRC
19:38:22 <Jimraehl> Icafiero: See http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2009-December/032768.html for a guess.

20:13:06 <\malex\> are there any iphone applications that can be made to sync with gnucash in any way?

20:58:56 <blizgerg> that woudl be cool, inter transactions when they happen...
21:03:29 *** bklang has joined #gnucash
21:03:34 <jsled> I've not heard of anything. Something that was uni-directional would be easiest to do. Something that exported QIF files would be straightforward.
21:03:35 <gncbot`> jsled: Sent 1 day, 12 hours, and 33 minutes ago: <warlord> please op me
21:03:54 *** jsled sets mode: +o gncbot`
21:04:03 *** jsled sets mode: +o linas
21:04:50 <blizgerg> a small java app that let you enter transactions and exported them as a QIF file?
21:05:05 <jsled> the iphone is all Objective C, AIUI.
21:05:14 <jsled> Android is java, if that floats your boat.
21:05:17 <blizgerg> Ah, I don't have one
21:05:54 <blizgerg> I have a rather old phone, but I was thinking most of the phones I've used had a JVM on them so...
21:06:19 <blizgerg> I assumed all phones did...
21:18:26 <shade304> What dangers would opening a gnucash file over a vpn connection create? (typ 1m up / 1m down) any thoughts nfs / samba / webdav ?
21:18:26 <shade304> I would probably use nfs over ssh, but the thing that alway confuses me with nfs is the soft option, can it corrupt my file without me knowing, and if I don't use the soft option and the connection locks up my session forcing me to Ctl+Alt Backspace, will that corrupt the data even more so..?

23:36:21 <\malex\> my current plan, though i don't know if i have enough programming talents, is to use the ibank app on the iphone. it syncs wiht the ibank mac software via webdav and xml files. wiht a bit of work, i imagine it would be possible to write something that interfaces between these xml files and gnucash
23:46:45 <blizgerg> sounds reasonable
23:49:44 <blizgerg> I'd try as a first start a command line utility that translates between the xml format and a format the gnucash can import and export
23:50:02 <blizgerg> but I've never used that ibank app so I wouldn't know how involved that would be
23:51:49 <\malex\> yeah, something to convert from the ibank xml files to ofx. that would do one way sync pretty easily
