08:48:40 <fell> make a revert to my last change and ban the spammers?
08:53:10 <fell> also http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/User_talk:MBT_Shoes_-_Your_Good_Choice should be deleted and Zhanlin9391 banned.

08:55:53 <wingo-pi> greets
08:56:09 <wingo-pi> warlord: any plan regarding #615168 ?
08:56:57 <warlord> fell: I'll go take a look. Thanks
08:57:26 <warlord> wingo-pi: Um, I've had near zero time. I was hoping one of the more active devs would look into it. I probably wont have time until the end of the month.
08:58:33 <wingo-pi> hm, ok :/
08:58:43 <wingo-pi> who do i need to poke to get those patches in?
09:01:26 <wingo-pi> if you give me commit access, i would be happy to push them myself, and be responsible if any problems arise (unlikely)

09:02:32 <warlord> Wow, fell, there were a lot of spamming links on that page.
09:04:01 <fell> Yeah, there was a time where I didn't watch the changes often enough.
09:04:46 <warlord> The past 4 changes on that page were spam!
09:05:59 <warlord> Where can I find Ake11a ?
09:06:45 <JonathanEllis> Good afternoon. I have edited invoice.scm to make my invoice load with the defaults I want as per the FAQ section 6.11 http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_customise_the_default_invoice_report_options_so_my_printable_invoices_always_load_with_the_options_I_want.3F This has worked until recently but today Gnucash seems to be ignoring the customisations in invoice.scm. I am using Gnucash 2.2.6 on Ubuntu 8.04
09:07:11 <fell> Warlord: http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/index.php?title=Debian&curid=1375&action=history
09:07:38 <warlord> fell: thanks. I had just found him.
09:07:54 <warlord> JonathanEllis: did you update gnucash?
09:08:24 <wingo-pi> warlord: do you prefer that one of the existing gnucash devs handles the patches?
09:09:27 <warlord> fell: done
09:09:45 <fell> warlord, thx
09:09:55 <warlord> wingo-pi: Yes. I'll do it on my own when I have time if nobody else gets to it.
09:10:27 <fell> Does anybody else know about this patches?
09:10:50 <wingo-pi> ok. fwiw i am releasing guile 2.0 next month. it would be nice if there were a gnucash release out that would build with it.
09:11:11 * wingo-pi grumbles a bit.
09:12:21 <JonathanEllis> warlord: I remember the changes in invoice.scm being overwritten last time gnucash was updated and I had to change invoice.scm back. So now /usr/share/gnucash/guile-modules/gnucash/report/invoice.scm shows the changes I made but gnucash seems to ignore them.
09:15:15 <warlord> wingo-pi: well, there wont be a stable release, that's for sure. 2.4 wont be out in time.
09:15:44 <warlord> wingo-pi: my issue is that this week I'm insanely busy with work stuff, and then I'm traveling from apr 16-26. So I wont really have time until the 27th.
09:16:12 <wingo-pi> understood! a bit frustrating, but that's how it is sometimes :)
09:16:13 <warlord> is there another invoice.scm installed somewhere else?
09:16:31 <warlord> wingo-pi: trust me, it's nothing personal. I'd love to have the time to work on gnucash full time again
09:16:41 <warlord> (on the other hand, I like being paid)
09:16:45 <wingo-pi> :)
09:17:36 <JonathanEllis> warlord: I am searching. Any idea where else invoice.scm might be installed?
09:18:19 <warlord> A different gnucash install?
09:18:32 <warlord> Or maybe another report with the same guid?
09:18:38 <fell> JonathanEllis: Do you have a Load-from-Path statement in ~/.gnucash/config.user?
09:19:16 <JonathanEllis> warlord: As far as I know I only have one gnucash install. Not sure how I would check that
09:20:05 <warlord> find / -name invoice.scm ; find / -name \*.scm | xargs grep -i guid | sort
09:20:55 <JonathanEllis> fell: There is no file config.user in ~/.gnucash
09:21:40 <fell> Then there is no such statement.
09:22:40 <fell> But next time you can move your invoice to a save place and use that statement.
09:22:53 <fell> ... to load it
09:24:23 <JonathanEllis> fell: So I make a config.user file and put a line with the following code in it? Load-from-Path <some path where I have saved the file>/invoice.scm
09:24:49 <fell> (load-from-path "/path/to/my/personal/invoice.scm")
09:25:34 <JonathanEllis> fell: Is that the entire contents of the file?
09:26:30 <fell> if you has no need for other user specific options, yes
09:27:02 <JonathanEllis> warlord: I was going to pastebin the output of that find command you gave me. Its a pain that pastebinit no longer works!
09:29:51 <fell> More interesting things are in http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports
09:33:01 <warlord> JonathanEllis: No need to pastebin it -- just look to see if you see two files with the same guid
09:34:33 <warlord> fell: where? i dont see anything in recent edits
09:35:42 <fell> warlord: no spam, just info for JonathanEllis.
09:36:21 <warlord> AH!
09:37:09 <JonathanEllis> fell: If I read that correctly, it's not enough to just put the load-from-path statement in config.user? It says something about commenting out the line in the code for your report that defines the module. But that code will be overwritten when gnucash is updated wont it? So doesnt that mean the config.user doesnt stop everything going back to defaults when gnucash is updated. Sorry if that question is worded badly
09:38:36 <warlord> In your particular case you do have an issue because you want to specifically overwrite the Printable Invoice report..
09:38:46 <warlord> ... so the 'load-from-path' trick wont help you.
09:39:22 <warlord> Honestly, what I would recommend is that you get the invoice set up how you want it and just leave it open. Then whenever you post a new invoice switch over to the open invoice tab, click "options", then select the newly-posted invoice.
09:39:35 <warlord> Yes, it's a LITTLE more work than just clicking "print" from the invoice window.
09:39:46 <warlord> ... but now significantly more work.
09:39:49 <warlord> s/now/not
09:40:20 <JonathanEllis> warlord: So I need to keep invoice.scm in its original location. Its just odd that editing invoice.scm worked perfectly until today
09:41:48 <JonathanEllis> warlord: That find command you gave me had such a long output it overflowed the terminal.
09:44:03 <JonathanEllis> warlord: And I didnt understand the bit about two files with the same guid. What is a guid?
09:44:15 <warlord> Globally Unique ID
09:45:06 <warlord> Each report defines a guid; they must be unique
09:47:41 <JonathanEllis> warlord: That command produces 194 lines of output with the first 37 files in /usr/share/gimp/2.0/scripts/ and the remainder in subdirectories of /usr/share/gnucash/ but I dont know what I am looking for. The output is at http://pastebin.com/jcAurgET
09:49:31 <warlord> You're looking for two files under /usr/share/gnucash with the same guid.
09:49:51 <warlord> e.g. 'report-guid "3298541c236b494998b236dfad6ad752"
09:49:55 <JonathanEllis> Oh sorry. silly me
09:50:26 <warlord> Make sure you don't have two with the same.. Which is why I suggested the 'sort'. But you might need to change the 'sort'.
09:50:32 <warlord> I doubt that's your issue, tho.
09:50:39 <wingo-pi> it would probably make more sense to require unique report modules, no?
09:52:07 <warlord> wingo-pi: no, because one can define multiple reports in a single module.
09:52:18 <warlord> So when you load a .scm file it can register multiple reports.
09:53:03 <JonathanEllis> warlord: Even when I change to /usr/share/gnucash before running that command it still searches from the root directory
09:53:29 <warlord> Right, try find /usr/share/gnucash
09:53:32 <wingo-pi> warlord: ah, i see.
09:53:41 <warlord> (or: cd /usr/share/gnucash ; find . ... )
09:53:59 <warlord> Each registered report needs a unique guid
09:54:13 <warlord> ... because theoretically you could have multiple reports of the same "name"
09:54:36 <wingo-pi> though, if one wants to make multiple reports, relying on helper routines, it might be a good idea to make helper modules.
09:54:55 <wingo-pi> but, this isn't helping JonathanEllis's problem :)
09:55:10 <JonathanEllis> warlord: What I did first was cd /usr/share/gnucash
09:55:24 <JonathanEllis> warlord: then find / -name invoice.scm ; find / -name \*.scm | xargs grep -i guid | sort
09:55:53 <warlord> JonathanEllis: no, you want 'find .', not 'find /'
09:56:07 <warlord> and you only need the second find.
09:56:17 <warlord> ... the first one was looking for multiple 'invoice.scm' files
09:56:49 <JonathanEllis> Oh sorry. I just copied what you typed. I am not familiar with the syntax of the find command yet
09:57:33 <JonathanEllis> I am still a bit confused
09:57:49 <warlord> What are you confused about?
09:58:18 <warlord> We're just making sure you don't have two reports with the same guid, which could cause an overwrite.. For example, if you have 'invoice.scm' and 'invoice2.scm' with the same GUID...
09:58:43 <JonathanEllis> So from /usr/share/gnucash do I need to type "find . -name \*.scm | xargs grep -i guid | sort"?
09:59:11 <warlord> Um, sure..
10:01:14 <warlord> JonathanEllis: there are a couple potential reasons that your edits aren't working:
10:01:19 <warlord> 1) they got over written
10:01:45 <warlord> 2) there are multiple reports that pigeonhole into the same report ID, and the other report is winning
10:02:24 <warlord> wingo-pi: Actually, would a (use-modules... ) call potentially load a file foo.scm~ ?
10:03:16 <JonathanEllis> warlord: http://pastebin.com/MgC7dnFH
10:03:32 <wingo-pi> warlord: scm~ ? no.
10:03:40 <warlord> JonathanEllis: and did you see a dup guid in there?
10:03:56 <wingo-pi> depends on %load-extensions, actually
10:04:18 <wingo-pi> but its normal value is '(".scm" "")
10:04:26 <warlord> JonathanEllis: another thing you can try is to add a 'display' command to your invoice scheme file to make sure it's being loaded.
10:06:05 <JonathanEllis> warlord: I dont know. I dont know what I am looking for. It looks like invoice.scm doesnt appear in the output of that find
10:06:44 <warlord> JonathanEllis: change the command to 'grep report-guid'
10:07:27 <JonathanEllis> warlord: Sorry to be stupid. Just that or do I need some parameters as well?
10:07:46 <warlord> what version of gnucash is this?
10:07:54 <JonathanEllis> 2.2.6
10:08:22 <warlord> OH... That was before report-guids were added.
10:08:24 <warlord> * sigh *
10:08:35 <warlord> Do you have multiple reports with the name "Printable Invoice"?
10:08:55 <warlord> find . -name \*.scm | xargs grep "Printable Invoice"
10:09:41 <JonathanEllis> Im actually using the fancy invoice. But I will change it. Will this be in /usr/share/gnucash?
10:10:20 <warlord> OH... If you're using the Fancy Invoice then there's absolutely no reason to make your changes in-place!!!!
10:10:34 <JonathanEllis> Huh?
10:10:56 <warlord> You should DEFINITELY just make a copy into, e.g. ~/.gnucash/my-fancy-invoice.scm, change the name of the report to "My Fancy Invoice", and "load-from-path" in config.user
10:11:49 <JonathanEllis> warlord: I'm making the changes in invoice.scm so the display options are permanent. Otherwise I have to set them every time I print an invoice. And that is prone to human error
10:12:02 <JonathanEllis> cos I am very forgetful
10:12:09 <warlord> invoice.scm != Fancy Invoice!
10:13:48 <warlord> Here's the deal. The invoice "print" button only loads the Printable Invoice. If you want to use any other invoice report then you need to manually run it and then edit the report options to load the correct invoice into the report.
10:14:13 <warlord> If, as you say, you want to modify the Fancy Invoice, then there's no reason to edit it in place; you might as well create a new report.
10:14:25 <warlord> (because you still have to manually run and configure it)
10:15:25 <JonathanEllis> I didnt know I could do that. I have changed the style sheet of the fancy invoice to load a logo. And I have to select the style sheet each time, which again I keep forgetting to do. Then I have to change the report options which again I forget to do
10:16:33 <JonathanEllis> I didnt even know there was an invoice "print" button. Where is that?
10:18:43 <JonathanEllis> Now I am really confused
10:20:56 <JonathanEllis> Maybe I had better come back to this when I am feeling less stupid. I started thinking I could understand this. Now I dont know where I am going
10:24:09 <warlord> There is no easy way to pre-set the style sheet.
10:24:34 <warlord> Honestly, JonathanEllis, you should just leave the report open and never close it.
10:24:35 <JonathanEllis> So what CAN I pre-set?
10:24:42 <warlord> Which report?
10:24:49 <JonathanEllis> Fancy invoice.
10:25:05 <JonathanEllis> But anyway. I dont leave my computer running all the time
10:25:23 <warlord> You dont have to..
10:25:30 <warlord> Just don't close the report before you quit gnucash
10:25:47 <warlord> When you restart gnucash it will reload the report with all your settings saved.
10:25:54 <warlord> ... including the style sheet
10:26:07 <JonathanEllis> Oh
10:27:04 <JonathanEllis> So just dont worry that my changes to invoice.scm dont seem to work
10:27:12 <warlord> Right.
10:27:35 <warlord> Besides, if you're using the Fancy Invoice, changes to "invoice.scm" dont apply.
10:27:42 <warlord> invoice.scm is NOT the fancy invoice.
10:28:26 <JonathanEllis> Oh. That makes sense. So what file is the fancy invoice?
10:29:38 <jsled> fancy-invoice.scm
10:30:01 <JonathanEllis> OK. That's what I needed to know
10:30:02 <JonathanEllis> Thanks
10:30:12 <warlord> So if you're making changes to invoice.scm, that would explain why it's not being seen in Fancy Invoice!
10:30:45 <JonathanEllis> I thought I was going mad
10:30:51 *** ErKa has quit IRC
10:31:02 <JonathanEllis> Its frustrating when you think you understand something and then find you really really dont
10:33:52 <JonathanEllis> So now I think I understand. thanks
10:35:18 <fell> wingo-pi: About Bug 615168: bugzilla is somewhat stupid, it didn't recognize the attachements as patches.
10:35:55 <fell> So they didn't show up in unreviewed patches.
10:36:04 <wingo-pi> ah, indeed. will change them if i can
10:37:17 <fell> Go in details and mark them as patches, then prbably somebody will review them.
10:38:14 <wingo-pi> fell: fixed, thanks for looking at it
10:38:50 <fell> Also an anouncement with your background infos on gnucah-devel could help.
10:39:31 <wingo-pi> ok, can do
10:56:03 *** ErKa has joined #gnucash
11:31:50 <JonathanEllis> warlord: I have edited fancy-invoice.scm and now my changes are permanent. Just one question: I want to change the minimum number of lines to 10. The relevant entry looks like this (gnc:register-inv-option (gnc:make-number-range-option (N_ "Display") (N_ "Minimum # of entries") "u" (N_ "The minimum number of invoice entries to display. (-1)") 23 4 23 3 1)). Should I change this to look like this? (gnc:register-inv-option (gnc:make-number
11:32:09 <jsled> JonathanEllis: got cutoff. Maybe pastebin?
11:33:25 <JonathanEllis> http://pastebin.com/6zaQ1saG
11:39:48 <warlord> JonathanEllis: looks right
11:40:04 *** fell has quit IRC
11:40:07 <JonathanEllis> warlord: I wasnt sure which of the two 23s to change
11:40:28 <warlord> Try it and see.
11:40:35 <warlord> Worst case you quit, fix it, and restart.,
11:40:47 <JonathanEllis> OK thanks
11:40:49 <warlord> ... or read the source for the option
11:44:02 *** warlord is now known as warlord-afk
11:47:58 <JonathanEllis> I am changing the Extra notes to put on the invoice. How would I insert carriage returns within a single string in invoice.scm or fancy-invoice.scm?
11:51:09 <wingo-pi> \n for a line feed; \r for a carriage return
11:51:30 <JonathanEllis> wingo-pi: Thanks. Whats the difference?
11:51:38 <wingo-pi> on unix you just use
11:51:41 <wingo-pi> \n
11:52:23 <wingo-pi> on windows \r\n i think
11:52:29 <wingo-pi> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline
11:52:47 <JonathanEllis> Thanks. I'm using linux so \n will do
11:52:47 <wingo-pi> wow that's lots of pages about an invisible character ;)
11:52:51 <wingo-pi> yep
11:55:56 *** jpetersen_ has joined #gnucash
11:58:05 <JonathanEllis> So is there an escaped character for a tab or indent?
11:58:38 <jsled> \t
11:58:46 <JonathanEllis> figures :-)
12:03:54 <JonathanEllis> Unfortunately \t doesnt work but never mind. \n is very helpful. Thanks a lot guys
12:04:13 <jsled> oh, this is for the invoice?
12:04:20 <JonathanEllis> yes
12:04:35 <jsled> which will output html … so maybe "&nbsp;" to get a non-breaking space.
12:04:48 <jsled> There's no real notion of a "tab" or "indent" in html.
12:04:59 <jsled> Maybe try wrapping the indented section in <blockquote>, though it's a hack.
12:05:14 <JonathanEllis> OK. Will try those

14:52:32 <ftjjk> I wanted to schedule an entry for every two weeks. Not every week and not semi-monthly. I will have two months each year that will have three transactions rather than two
14:53:28 * Simon is fairly sure that's already possible
14:53:45 <ftjjk> cant seem to figure it out though
14:53:47 <jsled> weekly x 2, indeed.
14:54:37 <Simon> click the "Advanced..." button
14:54:54 <jsled> Frequency = Weekly, Every [__] Weeks.
14:55:04 <Simon> the simple window that initially appears when you right-click a transaction and schedule it has fewer configuration options
14:55:49 <Simon> (it certainly has plenty of space for more options...)
14:56:59 *** ftjjk has left #gnucash

15:02:17 <ftjjk> okay, Im sorry but I still cant figure it out....I am using version 2.2.9 and I can not seem to find an advanced button??
15:15:48 <jsled> ftjjk: how are you starting the scheduling process?
15:16:06 <jsled> Right-clicking on something in the register? The Action > Scheduled Transaction Editor menu?
15:21:58 <ftjjk> Actions --> Scheduled Transactions --> Scheduled Transaction Editor
15:23:23 <jsled> In the editor for a schedule, clikc on the Frequency tab.
15:23:26 <jsled> Change Frequency to Weekly.
15:23:35 <ftjjk> ok
15:23:54 <jsled> In the panel below, change "Every [ 1] weeks." to 2.
15:24:21 <ftjjk> [blush]
15:24:29 <ftjjk> okay, thanks

15:32:57 *** Thell has joined #gnucash
15:35:29 <Thell> Hello folks! With the upcoming dicontinuation of Quicken 2007 online services I decided to give GnuCash a try. First tried GnuCash portable 2.2.9 and had some issues with qBanking
15:35:35 <Thell> AQBanking
15:36:07 <Thell> Then tried the Win installer and still have some issues.
15:36:53 <Thell> I'm wondering if this channel would be where to find some user info, or if this is more of a dev channel?
15:38:36 <jsled> it functions as oth.
15:38:38 <jsled> both, even.
15:38:53 <Thell> ahhh, well hi again jsled :)
15:38:59 <jsled> :)
15:39:46 <Thell> I guess my first question is where are the files stored? My first attempt in doing an online action caused a fatal exception and now gnuCash shows <no file> when I start it up...
15:40:47 <warlord> Thell: which file? Your data file? It's stored wherever you told GnuCash to store it.
15:41:15 <Thell> I never got the oppurtunity to tell it to save... :(
15:42:21 <Thell> OK, just created a new account heirarchy... and am saving before doing anything else ;)
15:44:36 <Thell> Okie dokie, went into AqBanking wizard and it still shows the user/customer/backend, and account I set up before
15:45:19 <warlord> That info is stored outside the gnucash data file.
15:45:34 <warlord> On Unix it's stored in $HOME/.banking (or .aqbanking)
15:45:44 <warlord> I dont know the windows equiv.
15:45:56 <Thell> kk, I see it ~\.banking on Win too
15:46:58 <Thell> So I map that account to the default checking account, save again, then open the account, Actions->Get Balance and bang! Assertion failure :(
15:47:32 <Thell> Provider.c line 257 Expression: u
15:48:36 <Thell> Now I hop over to the trace log and see SetWindowLongPtr failures
15:49:08 <Thell> Access denied issues there... but that shouldn't have anything to do with the provider (just a guess there)
15:50:00 * Thell tries running elevated
15:50:18 <Thell> :/
15:50:34 <Thell> GnuCash can't obtain lock on the file...
15:50:45 <warlord> "Open Anyways"
15:50:50 <warlord> (it crashed)
15:51:23 <warlord> ... when gnucash crashes it doesn't clean up the lock file, so you need to steal the lock by using "open anyways".
15:51:52 <Thell> roger on that
15:52:37 <Thell> OKo trying again as admin with the Actions -> Get Balance... same assertion failure
15:52:53 <Thell> So I must now assume that it is the OFX data that I entered, yes?
15:53:35 <warlord> Maybe. Or a bug.
15:53:51 <warlord> Do you have a Linux or Mac system where you can try it?>
15:54:01 <Thell> Not easily available ATM no
15:54:51 <Thell> If it is a bug then I surely wont be deploying it to family. ;) Is there a way I can confirm the OFX data?
15:55:22 <warlord> Unfortunately the OFX guru isn't here. He does usually reply quickly on the gnucash-user mailing list.
15:55:31 * warlord doesn't use OFX, or indeed any online banking.
15:55:58 * Thell nods
15:56:13 <Thell> Any idea what qof.engine is? WARN <qof.engine> [guid_init()] only got 2619 bytes.
15:57:26 <warlord> you can ignore that warning.
15:57:52 <Thell> kk, I'll pursue invalid ofx data for now and see what happens...
15:57:57 <warlord> qof == query object framework. engine == "engine"
15:58:12 <warlord> There is a way to get it to dump the OFX log.
15:58:47 <warlord> Did you read http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Setting_up_OFXDirectConnect_in_GnuCash_2 ?
15:59:35 <Thell> yeah, just a brief once-over
15:59:39 <warlord> In particular the section: Enabling the OFX Log
15:59:42 <Thell> Will give it more attention now :P

16:04:56 <Thell> ahhhh -> Online Banking does not support the version of software that you are attempting to use. Please contact Bank of America at 800-792-0808 or visit bankofamerica.com for more information
16:07:25 <Thell> Found something on this page:: http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/OFX_Direct_Connect_Bank_Settings under Bank of America, California talking about setting an APPID and version... I don't see a setting in User Config -> OFX tab to set those though...

16:13:11 <warlord> Thell: because windows is still using an older version of AqB. Maybe try the 2.3.x test releases?
16:13:42 <Thell> warlord, is it fairly stable if I don't play with db alternatives?
16:14:03 <warlord> should be, yes.. But keep in mind that it *is* still a test release series..
16:14:11 <warlord> So some features definitely dont work yet.
16:14:51 <Thell> as long a basic features and online work I think I should be able to drop Quicken... I'll give it a try.
16:15:11 <Thell> I can update over the top or do I need to uninstall?
16:15:55 <Thell> hmmm
16:16:23 * Thell wonders if he installs to an alternate location and then updates the OFX data then uses the older version for stability if that'd work
16:20:12 <Thell> LMAO:: cute hack to fix -> http://jheslop.com/2008/09/19/online-banking-setup-for-gnucash-under-windows-xp/ perhaps that's the reason it can now be set in the app itself?
16:20:15 <warlord> You can't really have multiple versions installed.
16:20:27 <Thell> roger on that warlord
16:36:36 <Thell> warlord: Woot! looks like setting those values using the new interface for OFX did the trick!
16:36:43 <warlord> Excellent.
16:39:19 <Thell> Unfortunately clicking OK on the 'Generic import transaction matcher' has caused the app to go non-responsive... perhaps I should not have grabbed all available transactions (1 yr)

16:40:35 <Thell> ahhh, there it goes... just took some time :)
16:40:49 <warlord> Heh
16:41:57 <Thell> Nice, now that I know that part qorks, the next thing to do is import the old quicken data into a fresh heiarchy I guess -- or should I read the tutorial before going through that?
16:42:13 <warlord> Either way.
16:42:51 *** KaiForce has joined #gnucash
16:43:17 <Thell> one last thing before I take a break. Can I store the file on a remote server for access from multiple clients?
16:43:22 *** _frozenjim_ has joined #gnucash
16:43:31 <Thell> file/directory info...
16:43:54 <Thell> or should I set up an export/backup to the remote?

16:45:46 *** ftjjk has quit IRC
16:45:54 *** _frozenjim_ has quit IRC
16:46:04 <warlord> Yes, you can mount a share and store your data there
16:46:11 <warlord> or you can store it on a USB stick
16:46:42 <Thell> excellent! That'll make supporting family accounting easy :)
16:47:11 <Thell> Thanks for the help warlord! Chat with you later. Hopefully to report success and not issues ;)

21:36:13 <claybustr> my gnucash tax reports are fubar. accounts showing zero that obviously have a bunch of transactions in them. etc.. I'm also getting a duplicate TXF code, wondering if its related. How can I reset my reports to stock?
