09:30:17 <vehre> Hi, unfortunately my router broke this night, therefore I am not aware if some one answered my question, if there is a way to extend gnucash by python scripts. I want to add a popup menu entry, that executes a python script. Is it doable?
09:31:42 <warlord> vehre: I think there *may* be a way, but I'm not 100% sure. At one point there was a python extension module.
09:31:57 <warlord> But I don't know for sure -- I didn't think that gnucash included a python interpreter
09:33:34 <vehre> Would this be worth implementing? May be more people can automize their tasks with python than with C and guile and xml.
09:34:57 *** ErKa has joined #gnucash
09:36:03 <warlord> patches always welcome
09:36:30 <warlord> as for "worth it", please see the faq
09:46:29 <vehre> Ok, thx. I will consider.

11:41:31 <Hinnerk> hi
11:41:40 <Hinnerk> Still working on stocks.
11:41:50 <Hinnerk> How do I properly book dividends?
11:44:56 <Hinnerk> and I habe one position where I can not get a quote online.
11:45:29 <Hinnerk> can I somehow put a price somewhere so that is is treated the usual way, in particular with respect to reports?
11:50:02 <warlord> Hinnerk: sure, just enter it into the pricedb

12:03:19 <Hinnerk> ok, thx.
12:03:34 <Hinnerk> however in the extended portoflio report, that security is still broken.
12:03:44 <Hinnerk> the following positions are empty:
12:04:22 <Hinnerk> Basis, Realized Gain, Unrealized Gain, Total Gain
12:04:35 <Hinnerk> and there is a huge and wrong position in broker fees....
12:04:42 <Hinnerk> I don'T see why.
12:07:27 *** ErKa has quit IRC
12:10:00 <Hinnerk> and I don't seem to get the divdend booked so that it appears in the extended portfolio report
12:12:36 <warlord> sorry, I dont run that report so cannot help you.
12:15:30 <Hinnerk> maybe you can help me on the dividend - can I show you a screenshot if the bookings are correct?
12:16:47 <Hinnerk> http://imagebin.org/229136
12:18:30 *** TommyT1 has joined #gnucash
12:23:49 <Hinnerk> from cash accounting point of view this works.
12:23:59 <Hinnerk> extended portfolio report doublecounts the dividend.

12:34:36 *** TommyT1 has quit IRC
12:35:26 *** TommyT1 has joined #gnucash
12:36:14 <warlord> Hinnerk: IIRC there is something about dividends needing to hit a cash account before hitting the stock account, but you'd have to look at the archives of the mailing lists.
12:36:18 *** TommyT1 has quit IRC
12:42:34 <fell> Hinnerk: 1.(minor) you should delete the Ausgleichskonto-splits.
12:46:01 <fell> 2. I would put the 2 txns in one IIRC Dividende:Aktie:0, Verrechnungskonto per Dividenden: 77

13:11:03 <Hinnerk> warlord: are you saying the order of the various items within a booking are import for the report?
13:12:46 <warlord> ???
13:13:01 <warlord> No, i'm saying that the "other account" are important.
13:15:52 <Hinnerk> "other" account?
13:19:48 <warlord> yes
13:22:02 *** fell_ has joined #gnucash
13:22:03 *** gncbot sets mode: +o fell_
13:26:18 <Hinnerk> that was not a yes/no question :) What do you mean by "other" account?
13:27:13 *** fell has quit IRC
13:29:23 <Hinnerk> next question:
13:29:37 <Hinnerk> I got two shares are part of a capital measure.
13:29:42 <Hinnerk> how do you book that?
13:29:48 <Hinnerk> price 0?
13:30:16 *** Fabzgy has joined #gnucash
13:37:33 *** day has joined #gnucash
13:39:14 <day> does anyone know how to print a page of checks?
13:47:51 *** TommyT has quit IRC
13:48:14 *** TommyT has joined #gnucash
13:49:20 *** Mario has joined #gnucash
13:50:19 <Mario> Gnucash does not start on my 32-bit win 7. Version 2.4.11 (Stable) downloaded from the official site
13:53:34 <warlord> day: use Find Transactions to select the checks you want to print, and then "Print Checks" from there.
13:54:14 <warlord> Mario: what happens when you start it?
13:54:25 <warlord> Hinnerk: which word don't you understand?
13:55:20 *** vehre has quit IRC
14:00:31 <Hinnerk> warlord: oh well, I gave up on the report. I prefer to have my dividends coming from the proper account rather than doing it wrongly just so that the report works (apparently, one should book dividends into the investment account directly rather than through the secutiry).
14:01:04 <warlord> Hinnerk: yeah. I don't know why that's the case.
14:01:20 <warlord> like I said, I dont use that report.
14:03:23 *** Mario has quit IRC
14:04:19 <EsdiDude> fell_: okies, thanks

14:35:37 *** Hinnerk has quit IRC
14:39:16 <day> warlord: how do I make it find a series of check numbers? I don't know the format
14:41:21 <warlord> find Num > x & < y
14:41:32 <warlord> (two search lines)
14:44:48 *** Fabzgy has quit IRC
14:52:13 <day> warlord: I cant make that work. I dont understand what ur telling me
14:52:20 *** Hinnerk has joined #gnucash
14:52:43 <warlord> Find Transactions -> Num > x AND Num < y
14:53:08 <warlord> Oh, right, Number is a string, not a number..
14:53:14 <warlord> What's the range of your checks?
14:53:28 <day> 5540 thru 5544
14:53:32 <warlord> You'll need to set up a regex that matches.
14:54:01 <warlord> Okay, try Number [matches regex] 554[01234]
14:54:59 <day> OK let me try that
14:57:49 *** john_ has quit IRC
14:59:14 <day> hooray that works! that was the only thing I didnt like abt gnucash. tks

15:20:03 <Mario> Gnucash 2.4.11 crashes on startup on win7 (x86). Running gnucash --debug says it's a developer version
15:22:56 <Mario> I see from the logs on that <warlord> answered but I was using Miranda IM which crashed
15:23:02 <Mario> (http://lists.gnucash.org/logs/2012/09/2012-09-20.html)
15:23:50 <warlord> Mario: what happens when you start? How does it "crash"?
15:26:24 *** Mario90 has joined #gnucash
15:26:57 <Mario90> Warlord it's the first time I'm using IRC, now I'm on mIRC, the only way to read your answers is through reading the public logs! Apart from that, I send you a screenshot
15:29:01 *** Mario has quit IRC
15:29:09 <warlord> Mario90: you can post your screenshot to imagebin
15:29:23 <Mario90> http://imagebin.org/229161
15:29:29 <Mario90> This is a screenshot
15:29:34 <Mario90> Ok
15:29:37 <Mario90> http://imagebin.org/229161
15:29:46 <Mario90> Now I see you on mIRC!!
15:30:42 <Mario90> Gnucash crashes on the daily tip I suppose
15:33:22 <Mario90> I've installed it also on my laptop (Win 7 64 bit) and starts the druid

15:44:01 *** Mario has quit IRC
15:44:39 *** Mario has joined #gnucash
15:45:01 <warlord> Mario90: Sorry, I have no idea why you're having IRC issues, nor do I know why GnuCash isn't starting for you. It works for other people.
15:45:03 *** Mario has quit IRC
15:45:06 <warlord> Maybe a firewall issue?
15:45:18 <warlord> (it needs to be able to talk to "localhost" aka 127.0.0.1)
15:46:32 <fell_> Mario90: Eventually you should start reading here: http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_What_should_I_obey_as_a_beginner_in_bug_reporting.2C_enhacement_requesting_....3F
15:49:42 *** Mario has joined #gnucash
15:50:00 *** Mario90 has quit IRC
15:50:33 <Mario> Are you really suggesting me reading 11k words?
15:51:42 <Mario> My worry is that I've installed an application using "pango" some time ago, and it's conflicting with some dll in GnuCash
15:52:35 <Mario> I don't know what "pango" is, but I saw this name in the installation and it's not new to me
15:52:37 <fell_> May be later, but the next questeion should give you some hints now.
15:52:49 *** Mario90 has joined #gnucash
15:52:59 *** fell_ is now known as fell
15:53:51 <warlord> Mario: if you have another gtk app it's possible that it is interfering, especially if it modified your global environment.
15:54:14 <fell> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pango
15:55:11 *** Mario has quit IRC
15:55:23 <Mario90> I'm pretty sure it messed with global variables. It should have been VirtualTI (a calculator simulator)
15:55:57 *** Mario has joined #gnucash
15:56:44 <Mario> But the strangest thing is that running gnucash --debug gives me this: http://pastebin.com/EGepCS9L
15:57:12 <Mario> It says in italian that the version is "for development", but I downloaded the stable version from gnucash.org

16:05:51 *** Mario90 has quit IRC
16:07:23 <fell> warlord: I try to review http://code.gnucash.org/trac/browser/gnucash-docs/trunk/help/C/Help_tips-appendix.xml , which is mostly outdated.
16:08:19 <fell> The recent version of section 1 would be http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&y=PROD_FIN&locale=en_US&id=SLN2310&pir=QsCQo1libUkQXVqmb2ciHQaHwb38sQqsHVylR6fUupm0PF3DBXK.wl3LPyG0Gd0vxaKf_PjAV0ZeYUpnEmwfBFYjmUcNXehNXaxf0JSH2CTF
16:09:00 <fell> Should I scrap that page? If yes, which columns?

23:14:41 <phunyguy> Hello all, I am revisiting gnucash for finance management, but again, I can't seem to get OFX banking working with ING Direct. I checked the logs in GNUCash, and it just gives a general error code of 2000. Can anyone help me isolate the problem? Thanks

23:41:05 <phunyguy> I noticed in aqBanking as well, that for the accounts, the currency keeps sticking as EUR, it should be USD. Even if I change it, it reverts back when I close it.
