08:35:06 <warlord> Linuturk: is there a particular reason you want to archive it? most people don't do anything. Disk is cheap.

11:18:23 <kundan> hi
11:21:00 <kundan> when will aqbanking support indian banks?
11:21:28 <warlord> kundan: you'll need to ask the AqBanking people.
11:21:39 <warlord> We're just a consumer of that project.
11:22:05 <kundan> their whereabouts on net
11:23:11 <warlord> Try #aqbanking on freenode?
11:23:19 <warlord> Or the AqB mailing lists?
11:23:24 <warlord> (google is your friend)
11:28:12 <kundan> thanx warlord i love gnucash for what it is ! but i would have liked it to be pure personal finance software with support for home inventory and autosync broker a/c
11:28:29 *** ErKa has joined #gnucash
11:30:01 <warlord> kundan: "pure personal finance software"? Meaning... no business features?
11:30:16 <warlord> What does "home inventory" mean?
11:30:25 <warlord> (I'll note: patches always welcome to add the features you want)
11:31:07 <kundan> yeah just like quicken maybe 2 seperate versions one for personal and another for commercial use
11:34:31 <warlord> kundan: that was the original design -- the business features were designed as a plugin.. But nobody distributed it that way, so it was merged together
11:35:26 <warlord> Nothing forces you to use the business features; it just adds some menu items that you can chose not to use.
11:35:26 <warlord> All the logic is the same.
11:36:26 <kundan> home inventory means when i enter a purchase of an item like TV, Fridge,Washing machines ,watches etc i can track their quantity,store scanned copies and minute purchase details including insurance and warraties etc.
11:37:16 <warlord> Umm.. not sure why you would want a financial app to do that.
11:37:23 <warlord> That has nothing to do with accounting
11:37:41 <warlord> But again.... patches always welcome.
11:38:27 <kundan> and autosync is the feature that maybe the most wanted feature for gnucash. this is what quicken does for US .Gnucash as an opensource plateform should support all the financial institutions in the world
11:38:50 <kundan> maybe with the help of a free online service like yodlee
11:39:45 <warlord> go for it!
11:39:55 <kundan> and abount inventory. you should software like Tally which is most used erp in india . it has inventory management
11:43:51 <kundan> yodlee is only online service and i have to be connected to check my portfolio besides i cant enter cashbook entries No I dont like it I love gnucash fast entry system
11:44:25 <kundan> even now i am making some entries in gnucash as i am chatting
11:53:50 *** benoitg has quit IRC
11:55:25 *** benoitg has joined #gnucash
11:56:29 <kundan> Looks like youre gone thank you anyway for your guidance bye
11:57:07 *** ErKa has quit IRC
11:58:58 <warlord> Not gone, but nothing to say.
11:59:50 <kundan> ok maybe i am irritating you
12:00:53 <warlord> you're just not asking about GnuCash anymore, so I was waiting for a GnuCash-specific question
12:01:48 <kundan> oh you dont know how much i love gnucash it offers the easiest entry mode.
12:02:37 <warlord> cool
12:03:39 <kundan> Ok let me be GNUCASH SPECIFIC now. I would have like to have the account colour as alternate row colour in entry register. that way i will not mistakenly make credit card entries in cash register
12:05:55 *** Topcat has joined #gnucash
12:06:21 *** bpburns has quit IRC
12:06:34 <kundan> also there is no pure monthly expense report available. I dont think that is much difficult to add more customised reports like income vs expense, expense by category

12:07:27 *** bpburns has joined #gnucash

13:38:40 <Linuturk> warlord: well, the file takes a while to load
13:38:42 <Linuturk> and we have accounts
13:38:47 <Linuturk> that aren't used anymore
13:38:54 <Linuturk> looking for a fresh start I guess
13:39:53 <Linuturk> warlord: RE archive data going all the way back to 2007
13:41:59 <warlord> Linuturk: Well, you have a few options:
13:42:12 <warlord> 1) You could hide (and make placeholders) all your accounts you don't need anymore
13:42:53 <warlord> or you could start over from scratch: File -> Export Accounts to generate a new data file with your existing account hierarchy but no transactions.. Manually set your opening balances..
13:42:59 <warlord> But then you lose your "history" for reporting.
13:43:08 <warlord> Or you can just get more RAM for your computer ;)

20:45:37 <erpingham> Can someone please review some documentation I've written that I would like to contribute to GnuCash? I've created a bug for the change, and submitted my changes as a patch.
