01:24:54 <muks> warlord-afk: thanks for pointing me to gnucash-user
01:25:07 <muks> for now i have a workaround which is good enough
01:25:48 <muks> that code needs a reorganization.. it's poorly designed and such issues will keep happening
01:26:11 <muks> i've attached my workaround to the bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649362
01:26:53 <muks> i am now using it for my business.. will be back if there are any other issues :)

07:34:57 *** Quanta has joined #gnucash
07:35:25 <Quanta> hi, i have beginners question concerning gnucash
07:36:49 <Quanta> assuming i have two salary (my wife and i) and i would like that each salary will be markt in different Salary account. can i do that?
07:37:07 <Quanta> in other words, how could i create the same account twice
07:39:59 <blathijs> Quanta: Just create two accounts and name them differently?
07:40:05 <yskkin> i think creating child account is fine
07:40:07 <blathijs> "Salary John" and "Salary Jane" or something?
07:40:40 <Quanta> ok
07:41:22 <Quanta> i am using gentoo gnucash 2.4.7 and when i create some plots , the plots are very small, relative to the screen
07:41:38 <Quanta> is it known problem? or something local on my computer?
07:47:30 <Quanta> ok, it is now ok
07:57:40 <Sicelo_> what is easiest way to see how much i have spent within a certain period (eg month) on something (eg food)?
07:57:41 <Quanta> if i rent a house, then i would use the Appartment account, but if i own a house and get monthly money for it. which account should i use?
07:57:46 *** Sicelo_ is now known as Sicelo
07:58:19 <Sicelo> Quanta: u probably need an Income account, eg Income:
07:58:31 <Sicelo> Income:Rent Due
07:59:21 <Quanta> does it already exists? or do i need to create it? (i use german language so the names are a bit different ;) )
07:59:28 <Sicelo> u create :)
07:59:54 <Sicelo> make sure it is an Income account, not Expense
08:05:05 *** warlord-afk is now known as warlord
08:06:29 <Sicelo> warlord, i assume u know. what is easiest way to see how much i have spent within a certain period (eg month) on something (eg food)?
08:07:03 <warlord> Sicelo: run a report.. For that question I would run the P&L report, and you can limit the timeframe to the month in question instead of year-to-date
08:07:52 <Sicelo> am already lost. what is P&L report?
08:08:27 <blathijs> Profits & Losses, I presume
08:08:43 <Sicelo> let me see if i have it
08:14:39 <warlord> I'm sure you have it.
08:14:43 <warlord> It's a standard report.

08:18:12 <Sicelo> netsplit :/
08:18:56 <Sicelo> i ended up using Cash Flow report. thanks. i don't have P&L. nearest is Income and Expense report.
08:19:26 <Sicelo> gnucash 2.2.9, debian squeeze
08:20:31 *** warlord has joined #gnucash
08:21:09 <warlord> Huh, not sure why I got kicked off...
08:22:28 <Sicelo> netsplit
08:22:35 <Sicelo> 15:18 < Sicelo> i ended up using Cash Flow report. thanks. i don't have P&L. nearest is Income and Expense report.
08:22:38 <Sicelo> 15:19 < Sicelo> gnucash 2.2.9, debian squeeze
08:26:33 <warlord> it was more than a net split -- I lost my connection to the server.
08:26:40 <warlord> P&L == Income Statement
08:26:57 <warlord> You didn't say what version you are using, but 2.4 has both P&L and Income Statement reports.
08:27:02 <warlord> (same report, different names)
08:29:52 *** croque has joined #gnucash
08:30:50 <Sicelo> thanks warlord :)
08:31:06 <warlord> you are welcome.
08:31:25 <warlord> cash flow is probably NOT what you want to answer this question.
08:31:55 <warlord> ... it answers the question "where did all the money go out of this (set of) account(s)?"
08:32:35 <Sicelo> i like the way u make the logic work here :)
08:33:01 <Sicelo> in my case though, i pay for most things via cash
08:41:22 <warlord> Sicelo: sure, and in some cases the two reports might give you the same answer, but that's a special-case. They DO answer different questions.
08:41:30 <warlord> So it's important to know which question you are trying to ask. :)
08:42:34 <Sicelo> if only u knew what a mess is in my accounts, heh
08:45:27 <Sicelo> i've 'restarted' them twice already.. but i like everything about gnuCash.. will soon be starting a small side business, and will do all my work on it :)
08:48:00 <warlord> :)
