00:04:44 <lkj87987> My preferences don't save when I change them in Windows, am I doing something wrong?
00:07:17 <lkj87987> I've tried in 2.2.9 and 2.3.8, I'll uncheckfor example "General/Show auto-save confirmation question", close the preferences window, open it back up, and it is checked again

02:51:01 *** pwnguin has joined #gnucash
02:51:50 <pwnguin> am i crazy or is there no way to schedule a transaction from from an asset account to an expense account?
02:54:45 <pwnguin> ah, its there, just not at all what the documentation says =/
03:02:46 *** pwnguin has left #gnucash
05:15:25 *** Marquel has joined #gnucash
05:15:31 <Marquel> morning.
05:18:34 <Marquel> (and happy new year)
05:23:01 <Marquel> i have a little build problem w/ gnucash-2.3.8 :/ it seems, there is a problem relinking libgncmod-backend-xml. is there something i can do about it?

09:09:14 <Marquel> anybody awake?
09:10:23 <aba> Marquel: It's always recommended to just ask your question.
09:11:18 *** Jimraehl has joined #gnucash
09:11:51 <Marquel> aba: i did ;)
09:12:50 <aba> oh right, sorry.
09:13:07 <Marquel> np.
09:13:25 <Marquel> but i should rephrase that question: when is there support for aqbanking-4?
09:14:58 <Marquel> i managed to compile gnucash from trunk, but now i'm asked three times for my pin just to get transactions via hbci.
09:20:43 <Marquel> is that intended? qbankmanager does not need to do so. one-time entering of pin is enough there.
09:22:26 *** Marco has joined #gnucash
09:23:03 <Marco> hellow
09:24:43 <Marco> I have a question about mt940 import. I have downloaded and installed GNUcash 2.2.9 through the windows .exe file and importing mt940 files is not working.
09:25:19 <Marco> I see that i need to use the 2.2.9.01 file, that should be a fixed version, but how do i download that version for windows?
10:10:16 *** yamajin has joined #gnucash
10:10:27 <yamajin> hello
10:10:40 <Marco> hey
10:11:59 <yamajin> is there a way to export/import scheduled transaction? or load from another gnucash file?
10:13:08 <Marco> how do i export or import by scheduled transaction?
10:13:47 <Marco> i am exporting files from my bank in mt940 format, i need to read those in
10:14:01 <yamajin> sorry
10:14:06 <jsled> yamajin: import/export by scheduled transaction?
10:14:21 <jsled> Oh … or, import/export the scheduled transactions themselves.
10:14:25 <yamajin> i mean scheduled transaction in gnucash files with transfers etc
10:14:30 <jsled> no, there is no way.
10:14:36 <Marco> no need for sorry, i didn't meant it like that :)
10:14:45 <yamajin> :)
10:15:02 <Marco> no import an mt940 file
10:15:11 <Marco> i export them by my bank
10:15:30 <Marco> then import through the import option file / import
10:15:44 <Marco> but nothing happens ....
10:15:50 <yamajin> i have idea
10:15:51 <jsled> Marco: yamajin is not replying to your question, fwiw. He joined the channel after you asked it.
10:16:24 <yamajin> just to change extension to .zip, open file and copy/paste scheduled sction maybe it works
10:16:42 <jsled> .zip? huh?
10:16:46 <jsled> no, that won't work.
10:16:51 <jsled> first, it's not a zip file.
10:17:00 <yamajin> so change ext
10:17:06 <Marco> and im not working with schedules
10:17:07 <yamajin> see yourself
10:17:08 <jsled> second, the scheduled transaction window doesn't support copy/paste.
10:17:19 <jsled> yamajin: it's a gzip-compressed xml file.
10:17:35 <yamajin> if you open from any editor, you see binary file
10:17:44 <jsled> yamajin: right. it's gzip-compressed XML.
10:18:00 <yamajin> change ext to zip, open, open file contained, and you see xml
10:18:19 <Marco> i am confused as i can open the files in notepad and i see tekst
10:18:26 <jsled> yamajin: it's only accidentally working because your uncompressor app is smarter than you. :) The correct extension is ".gz".
10:19:00 <jsled> yamajin: if you're talking about copying the scheduled-transaction XML between datafiles … it might work, if you're careful to update the account GUIDs for the new file … but of course this is not recommended.
10:19:07 <yamajin> my idea is - paste scheduled transaction section (i have identical tree of accounts in both files)
10:19:08 <Marco> the extension i see now is .sta
10:19:35 <Marco> scheduled transaction section? i am not working with schedules??
10:19:43 <jsled> Marco: no one is talking to you.
10:19:46 <yamajin> guids may be identical, new file plan was taken from import from older one
10:20:58 <yamajin> hmmm time of replacing guids will be longer than setting this damn complicated schedule... it contains several accounts with daily capitalization
10:21:03 <jsled> yamajin: Export > Chart of Accounts, I guess you mean? Then File > Open that file?
10:21:07 <yamajin> yes
10:21:10 <jsled> If so, then I'd imagine the guids are the same, yeah.
10:21:21 <yamajin> great :)
10:21:37 <yamajin> @jsled are you developer?
10:21:37 <gncbot`> yamajin: Error: "jsled" is not a valid command.
10:21:50 <yamajin> jsled are you developer?
10:22:05 <jsled> I mean, you should still spot-check one or two accounts, but File > Open isn't going to update GUIDs, and Export > Chart of Accounts just creates a "normal" datafile with no transactions (or scheduled transactions, as you see).
10:22:17 <jsled> Was. I authored the Scheduled Transactions code, and worked on a few other things.
10:22:28 <yamajin> great app
10:22:45 <jsled> thanks. shoulders of giants, and all that.
10:22:47 <yamajin> I used it from two years
10:23:26 <yamajin> I'm programmer too but I wrote my apps in delphi
10:24:00 <yamajin> writing sorry for bad english
10:32:29 *** ErKa has quit IRC
10:46:56 <jsled> Marco: what's up?
10:47:21 <Marco> Can you help me with my question
10:47:31 <jsled> unfortunately, I don't know. If I did, I would have.
10:47:40 <Marco> ok thanks
10:47:55 <jsled> sorry. Hopefully someone else might know, but we don't get a lot of mt940 questions.
10:48:34 <jsled> you might have better luck asking on the gnucash-user list, or looking through the archives to see if other people have mt940 working on the windows build.
10:49:15 <jsled> http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2007-August/021569.html might be relevant
10:55:23 <Marco> ok thanks, i'll go check that link

13:40:59 <ska> Happy new year to all! I just noticed that some of my Equptment accounts were somehow duplicated. I just upgraded to 2.2.9-102 (fink). I was able to fix this by just doing the following:
13:41:51 <ska> Open accounts -> Delete Account (specify the account name to re-parent transactions).. Proceed with delete.
13:42:19 <ska> The account names and numbers were identical, so I have no idea how this came to pass.
13:43:00 <ska> I was not able to use the FAQ's solution by reparenting first and then deleting..
13:43:32 <ska> I tried that, and the transactions disappeared.. Just and FYI..
13:43:43 <ska> Err.. Just an FYI
13:43:58 <ska> I think my previous version of GC was 2.2.8
14:03:49 <ska> I can't get my Equiptment to show up on my Income statement, even after I select it in options.... How do I do it?
