02:44:21 <Anthony> Is there a way to enable a report, like "Income/expense chart", to account for future scheduled transactions.
02:47:01 <Anthony> Also, is there a way for my account balances to show my actually balance, without regard to the soonest scheduled transaction, which has yet to occur.

03:02:18 <confused1> I'm a Mac OS X user, I would love to use Postgresql as my backend. Is there a binary installation that has this functionality enabled?
03:06:48 <confused1> If not, is there a document that will walk me through getting a compilation of GnuCash that will have the ability to talk to my Postgres database. This functionality sounds awesome -- but challenging for a non-developer to implement. Thank you for your help, in advance.
03:16:57 <Anthony> I cannot answer that, others can. I'm curious about your reason/s for this.
03:25:48 <confused1> I've used GnuCash for several years now. It's just for my personal finances. I'm a bit of a computer nerd and I think it would be cool to store the data in a Postgres database rather than the flat file. It would be nice to be able to access the database from my laptop and my desktop without maintaining separate copies of the file.
03:28:23 <confused1> Thank you for your help.

05:14:41 <Zelroy> I have version 2.4.0 on Windows. How do I change gnucash startup language?
05:25:28 *** gncbot sets mode: +o fell
05:25:55 <fell> http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Translation#Changing_the_Language_on_Windows
05:27:56 <fell> Zelroy: or http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_I_want_to_use_GnuCash_in_my_own_language
05:30:40 <Zelroy> I tried that, but it no longer worked on 2.4.0
05:32:46 <Zelroy> My Windows is in English but the locale is set to Finland and I get an awful mess of two languages...
05:35:53 <fell> Hm, I do not use Windows.

07:52:15 <warlord> Anthony: No, there is no report that looks at SXes.
07:53:00 <warlord> Anthony: for your second question, you can enable the "present value" column, or the "cleared balance" column, depending on which you want (today's date v. cleared balances)

09:25:42 <gour> prospect having mobilegnc for android, brings me to evaluate gnc once again (over simpleinvoices). has something changed in regard to skills required to customize invoices' look in gnc (aka: can one do it without guile skills)?
09:26:05 *** warlord has joined #gnucash
09:26:49 <warlord> jsled, linas: could one of you op gncbot, please?
09:30:19 <gour> is eguile way to customize invoices' look in 3.4.x?
09:31:49 <gour> i mean in 2.4.x :-)
09:38:32 *** linas sets mode: +o gncbot
09:48:05 <warlord> @op
09:48:05 <gncbot> warlord: Error: You don't have the #gnucash,op capability. If you think that you should have this capability, be sure that you are identified before trying again. The 'whoami' command can tell you if you're identified.
09:48:18 <warlord> @op
09:48:19 *** gncbot sets mode: +o warlord
09:48:30 <warlord> yes, eguile is in 2.4
09:50:39 *** Jimraehl has left #gnucash
09:51:05 <gour> thanks
09:51:38 <warlord> np
09:51:54 <gour> how one customize numbering for invoices to e.g. start with certain pattern at the beginning of a new year?
09:52:14 <warlord> invoice #s are numeric.
09:52:20 <warlord> There is no way to reset the starting # in the UI
09:53:03 <warlord> And there is no way to set an alpha-numeric invoice string
09:55:21 <gour> what if one requires to have a specific series for each year, e.g. 2010-xxx, then 2011-xxx. it is not possible?
10:14:19 *** Jimraehl has joined #gnucash
10:23:50 *** Slurpee has joined #gnucash
10:47:54 <warlord> gour: Not in that form, no. What government requires that?
10:48:24 <warlord> You could certainly make one of the form 2011xxx (or 2011xxxx), but not 2011-xxx
10:48:35 <warlord> You'd have to hand-modify the data file to reset the invoice #
10:48:42 <warlord> There is no way in the UI to set the starting #
10:48:47 <warlord> (patches always welcome)

11:14:23 <Anthony> perfect, thank you
11:15:50 <warlord> You're welcome.
11:28:20 <warlord> anyways, I'm gonna run.

11:30:44 <Anthony> cya, thanks for the help. I've found where to modify columns.
11:31:01 <Anthony> 2 warlord
11:35:46 <Anthony> If i download and modify the source, can SXes then be included in a report?
11:36:42 *** Krumar has quit IRC
11:49:39 <Anthony> warlord, i realized the difference between clearing and reconciling. I created my scheduled transactions 335 days in advanced and then cleared them. They now show in my report.
11:50:50 <Anthony> Coming from ms money and quicken, I never knew the purpose or difference between the two.

17:13:10 *** fell has joined #gnucash
17:33:16 *** gncbot sets mode: +o fell
17:36:22 <warlord> Huh, I wonder why gncbot took so long to give you op, fell?
17:38:06 <fell> Because I am traveling between 2 german and 1 belgian dial up connection with dynamic ip numbers, I have everytime to identify again.
17:38:41 <warlord> oh
17:42:00 <fell> But probably I didn't configure konversation correctly - there are multiple places for identification.
17:42:20 <warlord> ok
