09:51:52 <mroe> According to the FAQ it should be either extensionless or with an .xac extension. When I look at my dir, I have a single file with no extension and a whole bunch of .xac files with dates after them. Which one is my data file?
09:52:47 <mroe> ah, looks like the dated files are backups?

10:04:55 *** warlord-afk is now known as warlord
10:05:14 <warlord> Yes, the dated .xac files are backups, the dated .log files are logs, and your datafile is the base.

16:13:35 <amgine> I wish to account for various atm fees when making an atm withdrawal, via split transaction. I am unable to understand how to do this, as I end up with a Wallet transaction which has Imbalance-CAD.
16:13:49 <amgine> How do I make such a split transaction?
16:15:15 <jsled> amgine: seen http://svn.gnucash.org/docs/guide/txns-registers1.html ?
16:17:01 <amgine> No. <looks>
16:21:37 <amgine> Excellent, thanks jsled!

17:35:34 <xi> The quote for SEK (swedish krona) appears to be wrong by a factor 100 in gnucash / finance::quote
17:35:50 <xi> does anyone know the gnc-fq-helper command to look up currencies?
17:37:46 <xi> echo '(currency "SEK" "USD")' | gnc-fq-helper
17:37:55 <xi> (("SEK" (symbol . "SEK") (last . 14.983) (currency . "USD")))
17:39:02 *** nomeata has quit IRC
17:39:06 <xi> yahoo says its 0.1498
17:39:09 <xi> not 14.98

18:11:22 *** harlan has joined #gnucash
18:12:46 <harlan> Is there a way to read .qbm files with gnucash?
18:14:46 <kimmo> there's no option in the stable version to import quicken basic files, but I'd imagine quicken can export it in a suitable format or a conversion tool is available on the net..

18:21:53 *** mib_4jhusz has quit IRC
18:28:00 <harlan> thanks kimmo
18:29:24 <indigo> is there a way, when importing OFX, to set the tranfer account for a batch of records to the same account?
18:29:45 <indigo> say, in my import i have 50 interest transactions, and I don't want to assign those to the interest account 50 times.

21:04:27 <aschneiderg> Hello everybody! newbie question here: I developed a little project for a client, but my client will pay until dec. 4. Is that an income now, or is a receivable account? I will like to project this income to 26 dec in order to buy a piano. How will it be?
21:06:56 *** fbond has quit IRC
21:07:34 <jsled> aschneiderg: you can handle it however formally you like.
21:07:47 <jsled> either just as an income in the future.
21:07:55 <jsled> or you can do the whole accounts-receivable thing
21:08:22 <jsled> if there's some legal / reporting requirement for you do to it one way or another, that's a different story, of course.
21:09:05 <aschneiderg> I think is useful to sit one day and check how many money are pending to come, that's my intention
21:09:14 <aschneiderg> (sorry my English)
21:09:28 *** bentob0x has quit IRC
21:10:14 <jsled> your english is good. :)
21:10:34 <jsled> if it's just the one client, then I would not bother setting up the accounts/receivable.
21:10:55 <jsled> if you intend to have a lot of clients, and if they will vary in when they will pay you, you probably should set up accounts/receivable to keep track of it all
21:12:29 <aschneiderg> Well, first of all thanks. I hope to have more than a couple in fact It will be like this: Income -> Accounts-receivable -> Expenses (or liabilities)
21:12:33 <aschneiderg> all liked by dates.
21:12:47 <aschneiderg> Is that the right way, you said?
21:14:16 <jsled> aschneiderg: take a look at http://svn.gnucash.org/docs/guide/chapter_bus_ar.html
21:14:26 <jsled> and, no.
21:14:46 <jsled> Accounts Receivable functions as a sort of illiquid Asset, which then later becomes Income.
21:14:56 <jsled> Expenses doesn't enter into it at all.
21:19:17 <aschneiderg> Well, I was thinking in my piano as an expense. Anyways, I will take a look at the chapter 12 before asking more questions.
21:19:35 <aschneiderg> jsled: Thank you very much for you help. Have a nice day!
21:20:04 <jsled> aschneiderg: yeah, the piano, sure.
21:20:26 <jsled> you should look at the rest of the Tutorial and Concepts guide, too.
21:22:36 <aschneiderg> Sure I will. I'm amazed by this piece of tool! this thing of storing in MySQL is just awesome.
21:23:01 <aschneiderg> Cheers for the devs, and all the crowd in general.
