00:18:36 <goldphish> In setting up gnucash to work with my vanguard 401k accounts, I notice the Total reported for the brokerage account is different from the balance that is reported when you open the account.
00:19:06 <goldphish> How is this value calculated? Isn't it supposed to be the balance? It is for all my other accounts.
00:19:46 <goldphish> The account type is Bank and the currency is USD.

08:43:26 <daedeloth> greetings
08:43:40 <daedeloth> I was wondering if it's possible to find all clients that have bought at least 250€
08:43:54 <daedeloth> or, simply a list of clients with their total sale value or something
08:45:08 <warlord> You could modify the aging report to give you that information, but right now no, there's not any report that will give you "total sales to customers"
08:45:35 <daedeloth> k, thanks :)

08:51:05 *** blizgerg has quit IRC
09:17:01 <warlord> If you do make that change, please send in the update! (you might also consider an update to the 'owner report' so that you can tell a single customer how much they've bought/paid over a period of time.

11:23:23 <gjanssens> Hi all
11:23:51 <gjanssens> warlord: is it ok again to commit to svn, or should we wait until Phill has put up the official 2.3.13 announcement
11:24:12 <warlord> gjanssens: um, you would need to ask Phil that. But there was a successful 2.3.13 build..
11:24:30 <gjanssens> I'm asking wrt your question on the mailing list about the directories that have to be removed on the build server
11:24:41 <gjanssens> This has to be sync'd with applying some patches.
11:24:45 *** ErKa has quit IRC
11:25:21 <warlord> Oh.
11:25:51 <gjanssens> Or at least the directories should be removed after applying the patches.
11:26:09 <gjanssens> I think I'll wait with that then for the news item, just to be sure.
11:26:36 <gjanssens> There's no hurry :)
11:26:43 <warlord> ok.
11:44:52 *** raleightile has joined #gnucash
11:45:08 <raleightile> ok, first problem of the day
11:45:24 <raleightile> new vendor bill, invoice id "2"!
11:45:40 <raleightile> I was over 1000
11:45:50 <raleightile> what will happen, duplicate numbers?
11:46:05 <raleightile> is it smart enough to skip already used numbers?
11:46:18 <raleightile> how can i convince it to try a higher number?
11:46:32 <warlord> invoice and bill numbers are disjoint
11:48:59 <raleightile> right, but it is a bill number, the label just says invoice
11:49:32 <warlord> The label should change based on customer v. vendor
11:50:10 <raleightile> on the screen or just in print
11:50:28 <warlord> Yes
11:52:28 <raleightile> weirdness, i changed the number on the bill to 001084 (where it should have been) then posted it, then created a new invoice which got the number 001085
11:52:47 <raleightile> then created a new bill and it gets 000003
11:53:17 <raleightile> so the invoice bumped off of the last bill, but the bill is bumping off of something else?
11:53:45 <raleightile> if it helps i can take a screen shot
11:55:11 <warlord> Ummm.. That sounds like either it's a bug, or just coincidence. I dont think setting the # will affect the counter in any way
11:55:19 <warlord> So i think it's just coincidence.
11:55:28 <warlord> If you want to change the starting number, edit your data file
11:55:39 <warlord> But right now I dont think there's a way to make them the same field.
11:56:48 <raleightile> what am i looking for in the data file?
11:57:25 <raleightile> the counter got reset because of the version change?
11:59:19 <raleightile> the other thing that is not as cool, when typing expense account, it used to let you type ex : co and it would auto fill in Expenses:Cost of Goods Sold, now have to type it all or mouse it
12:00:25 <warlord> In 2.3/2.4, there are MULTIPLE counters...
12:01:13 <warlord> Um, I can certainly still type e x : ... and it works fine.
12:01:28 <raleightile> ok, so the invoice picked up on the old one, and the bills has a new one, makes sense
12:01:32 <raleightile> hmm
12:02:48 *** fbond has quit IRC
12:14:58 <raleightile> in can type in(tab) to complete Income:Sales, but ex(tab) shows Expense:Advertising
12:15:30 <raleightile> I guess it will be fixed when they get .12 here
12:15:55 <raleightile> the invoices without logos is a pain to that will have to wait for .12
12:16:18 <warlord> ex(tab) is always going to choose the first one.
12:16:29 <warlord> ex:c(tab) should still do what you want
12:16:38 <warlord> (assuming it's the first 'c' expense)
12:17:03 *** rob has joined #gnucash
12:21:45 <rob> hello, I have a problem displaying a logo on an invoice - gnucash 2.3.11 - Fedora 13 64 bit - I have tried moving the image to different file locations and turning off selinux - the error I get when running --debug is @0: Not allowed to load local resource: file:///{location}/logo.png - I have setup a new stylesheet with the file location, thanks.

12:59:55 <raleightile> I think it is on the fix list for 2.3.12
13:00:07 <rob> thanks, I'll take a look
13:00:57 <raleightile> Fix #588816

13:29:02 *** tim_abell has joined #gnucash
13:29:13 <brimstone> is there a way to run a report based on the contents of descriptions of the transactions?
13:29:52 <warlord> depends on the report you want
13:30:13 <warlord> and what you mean by "based on the contents"
13:30:14 <brimstone> just a chart of all income and expenses
13:30:22 <brimstone> say, contains "May 2010"
13:30:31 <warlord> no
13:31:02 <warlord> but that can be solved by using dates
13:31:35 <brimstone> i want to record both the date that the payment came in or out, and for which month it was intended
13:32:48 <warlord> then no.
13:32:55 <warlord> gnucash has no period support.
13:33:15 <warlord> no concept that a txn belongs to something beyond its date
13:35:41 <brimstone> herm, ok, thanks for your quick help
13:36:27 <warlord> sorry.
13:37:26 <warlord> theoretically you could write a report that would do it.. Create the query you want and then plug it into the graphing code.

13:58:09 <raleightile> Bill Nottingham is waiting to release 2.3.13 for fedora when it lands..
13:58:29 <raleightile> so looks like a no-go for 2.3.12
13:58:49 <raleightile> do you think 2.3.13 will be released next week?
14:02:22 <warlord> Should be released any day now.
14:03:57 <raleightile> cool
14:04:47 <raleightile> Also is there a howto guide for fixing up the reports? They look really ugly!
14:05:19 <raleightile> Before they were crisp
14:05:32 <raleightile> Now they look blurry
14:10:30 <raleightile> ok darker not blurry
14:10:38 <warlord> Different font selection, probably.
14:10:57 <raleightile> the background prints gray, and the lines are dark shadowed instead of light highlighted
14:11:03 <warlord> Or just webkit being differnt
14:13:09 *** cortana has joined #gnucash
14:17:04 <raleightile> is the default css not used yet?
14:17:58 <warlord> I dont know when it swapped over. 2.3.11 is old
14:19:00 <raleightile> but that is the one to watch, the others are fading out..
14:19:29 <warlord> ??
14:19:32 *** ErKa has quit IRC
14:19:55 <raleightile> i have always set up a custom style and saved as default, that way instead of changing everything to use the other style they use my modifications by default
14:20:18 <raleightile> i guess the question was should i rename default css to default
14:20:38 <raleightile> or just wait, because in the future reports will be using css default instead
14:28:16 <raleightile> i changed the background to white, I guess before it didn't print
14:28:23 <warlord> I believe that they will be using Default-CSS by default.,
14:29:16 <raleightile> thanks
