06:54:33 <jboogie> hi, been using gnucash for little more than a month to keep track of my expenses... How can I make the "Expenses" account display only the total of the current month's expenses? I don't it to show the total of expenses since I started keeping track of expenses...
06:55:05 <jboogie> ^I don't want it to show...
07:05:59 <mikee> you need a cash flow report for the account and set the start and end dates appropriately.
07:06:50 <mikee> Reports -> Income & Expense -> Cash flow.

10:55:36 *** ferdinand has joined #gnucash
10:57:29 <ferdinand> I need to change the opening balance for an account. I opened up the equity account, and found no entries. I also entered every transaction for the history of the account by hand, so there would have been no opening balance to start. I don't know how I got one.

11:09:46 <warlord> ferdinand: Just change the O-B transaction.
11:09:50 <warlord> If you don't have one, create it.
11:10:00 *** aqua___ has quit IRC
11:10:08 <warlord> The O-B is just a regular transaction from the Asset/Liability account to Equity:O-B
11:20:05 *** Topcat has quit IRC
11:20:29 *** Topcat has joined #gnucash
11:22:26 <ferdinand> thank you for the input, but there are no transactions at all in the equity account, or it's one sub account of opening balances
11:23:30 <ferdinand> I cannot find anything to tell me where the balance comes from. I have no transactions reconciled in this account, and when i reconcile it for the first time i get a starting balance of 1.00
11:24:06 <ferdinand> I cannot find a transaction anywhere to explain this one dollar.
11:24:18 <ferdinand> thank you, very much for your input.

11:27:47 <warlord> ferdinand: have you read the GnuCash Concepts & Tutorial Guide? It sounds like you don't understand Double Entry Accounting. Please go read the docs first.
11:28:13 <warlord> As I said, an Opening Balance is just a regular transaction between your Asset/Liability account and Equity:Opening Balances
11:28:41 <warlord> If there are no transactions in Eq:O-B that means you didn't create any O-B transactions. So just create them just like you're create any other transactions..
11:28:51 <warlord> Set the O-B txn date to before you started accounting.

12:27:38 *** xyzzy has joined #gnucash
12:29:08 <xyzzy> I accidentally created a transaction in one of my accounts on the wrong date - and now i cant find it - i can just see that the numbers don't add up
12:29:25 <xyzzy> how can i see the lastest transactions i've added?
12:29:46 <xyzzy> or some kind of "undo"-list
12:32:24 <warlord> xyzzy: there is no undo (except "exit without saving", IFF you're using XML)...
12:33:01 <warlord> But you can go into the register for the account in question and then View -> Sort by... Date of Entry
12:33:33 <warlord> That will give you the most recent transactions near the end.
12:37:25 <xyzzy> i opened an older version. lost some work though. seems a bit weird to not have an undo feature no?
12:37:55 <xyzzy> anyhow - can i now "lock" the account, so that no transaction may be posted before my lockdate
12:38:34 <warlord> No.
12:38:55 <smw> xyzzy, I think it warns you when you make a transaction before the last reconciliation date
12:38:59 <warlord> You can lock an account such that no new transactions can get input into it, but gnucash does not have "lockdate" support.
12:39:17 <warlord> smw: does it? I don't think so, unless that's a very new feature.
12:39:53 <smw> warlord, hm, maybe it just stops you from changing reconciled transactions
12:39:56 <smw> need to to check
12:40:19 <smw> xyzzy, are you using XML. The XML keeps a log of each transaction as you enter it
12:40:20 <warlord> Yes, gnucash will attempt to stop you from changing reconciled transactions
12:40:23 <smw> xyzzy, and it keeps backups
12:42:16 <xyzzy> ok - reconciled transactions seems good. i'll try it out
12:42:20 <warlord> xyzzy: as for an undo feature, it's been on the wishlist. Patches always welcome.
12:43:16 <smw> xyzzy, yeah, you can search for unreconciled transactions after the reconciliation date
12:43:36 <smw> xyzzy, even if it won't automatically stop you, it will tell you when something is wrong

13:33:58 <ferdinand> yes, i do understand double entry accounting. there are no opening balances. I entered every transaction since the opening of each of my accounts at the bank. prior to the first transaction in my register, there were no transactions. the first transaction is the opening deposit at the bank.

17:01:48 <warlord> john: okay, looking now...
17:01:55 <warlord> (booting up my vm)
17:04:39 <warlord> Hmm... It looks like the build is sitting at an scp from 2.4.13 weekly build...
17:04:46 <warlord> (or perhaps it's running daily still)
17:05:17 <warlord> Nope, daily. I reverted back to weekly..
17:05:58 <warlord> Force-running a daily build now..
17:06:39 *** benoitg has joined #gnucash
17:06:39 *** gncbot sets mode: +o benoitg
17:07:15 <warlord> and...gotta run. Can you send mail about it? It looks like the hang was at the scp of 2.4.13 on Tuesday at 3am.. I reverted from 2.4 daily builds to weekly builds and kicked off a daily build. But I don't know why the build hung at/after the scp.
17:07:56 <john> That's a bit strange. Today's 2.4.13 daily appears to have completed and the file correctly moved to code.
17:10:19 <john> Trunk on the other hand hasn't run since the 25th, so it should have run today if it's set for a weekly build.

17:51:29 <warlord> trunk is a daily build. 2.4.x *was* a daily build as well.
17:51:41 <warlord> However it will only fire a build if there are changes to the branch.
17:52:04 <warlord> Also, it *was* stuck on tuesday's build..
