12:34:14 <dashs> Trying to set up a brokerage account -- bonds - corp and muni plus stocks and money mkt
12:34:47 <dashs> IS there a precise tutorial for this (every keystroke)?
12:36:12 <jsled> http://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.0/C/gnucash-guide/chapter8.html is the closest, I think.
12:36:24 <jsled> Though there might be some good material in the gnucash-user mailing list archives.
12:37:30 <dashs> jsled: thanks
12:41:20 *** david has joined #gnucash
12:42:54 <david> hi all, could you make me a quick intro how the UI does refresh ? When the GUI rereads the datasource.
12:44:53 *** andyt has joined #gnucash
12:44:54 <david> It seems it reads whole the file when opening (connecting) to the database. It probably tracks the changes just made from GUI.
12:45:29 <david> But it does not refresh GUI when no change is tracked (from the GUI).
12:46:03 <david> Can you imagine a simple change that would enable to refresh GUI even without the change tracked.
12:47:02 <david> This is needed for concurrent usage - and refreshing from datasource/database - to display changes performed by other users.
12:47:07 <jsled> right.
12:47:13 <jsled> there isn't much of that.
12:47:20 <jsled> it would require some serious re-architecting.
12:50:20 <jsled> The engine objects did have some signals for change events.
12:50:31 <jsled> And part of the design of QOF is to create queries that can be re-evaluated.
12:50:46 <jsled> But … usage of things in that way is not uniform.
12:55:21 <david> is that in the roadmap for the next major development, I mean 2.5/2.6
12:55:22 <david> <
12:55:26 <david> ?
12:55:43 <jsled> I can't say; there's never been much of a roadmap for gnucash.
12:56:44 <jsled> but your best bet is to look through recent gnucash-devel archives and see if anyone's been talking about it
12:56:57 <jsled> I'm a bit out of orbit on recent development
12:58:26 <david> and, please, how does GUI track the changes?
12:58:30 *** Zoolooc_ has joined #gnucash
12:58:54 <david> it should be a temporary structure
12:59:01 <jsled> track what changes?
12:59:24 <david> the changes that the GUI reflects
13:00:02 <david> it is probably a structure that when... something... then it refreshes GUI
13:00:04 <david> Ide>
13:00:08 <david> Idea:
13:02:07 <david> if we populate the structure by an other way, it would work without huge rearchitecting, don't we?
13:02:07 <david> I mean, to populate the structure - triggered by an database event
13:02:24 <jsled> that's way to vague and general to respond to.
13:02:29 <jsled> s/to/too/
13:02:39 <david> I see...
13:03:45 <david> I do not understand the mechanism...
13:04:04 <david> so I am not able to speak more concretely
13:04:22 <david> is there anyone interested in the topic?
13:04:23 *** gjanssens has joined #gnucash
13:04:23 *** gncbot sets mode: +o gjanssens
13:05:11 <gjanssens> Hi, what version of active perl should be installed on Windows for Finance::Quote ?
13:05:28 <gjanssens> Wiki says 5.10 (which I guess is correct)
13:05:47 <gjanssens> But the windows iss installer script still talks of 5.8
13:05:55 <gjanssens> Should I update the latter ?
13:06:45 <david> anyone who understands GC structures/development?
13:07:31 * gjanssens is a GC developer, but fairly new to it
13:07:42 <gjanssens> Just to say, I know a little bit.
13:08:09 <jsled> gjanssens: backscroll at http://lists.gnucash.org/logs/2010/02/2010-02-24.html#T12:41:20
13:10:52 <david> gjanssens: did you react to my question ? >>gjanssens Just to say, I know a little bit
13:11:44 <david> gjanssens: take back, sorry
13:12:30 <dashs> In the Security Editor, what "Namespace-Type" might be used for bonds?
13:12:45 <gjanssens> david: just read the earlier conversation. I don't know that part of GC, sorry.
13:14:01 <david> jsled: who lead the database backend development?
13:15:44 <david> who leads ... who is most interested in the database backend utilisation
13:17:36 <jsled> I believe it's phil longstaff who's done most of the db backend work in 2.3/2.4.
13:17:46 <jsled> david: you might want to approach the gnucash-devel mailing list generally, though.
