08:06:17 <warlord> yargy: Apparently key bindings don't work prior to 10.9, but I may be wrong. I don't use a Mac.
08:06:44 <yargy> hmm
08:07:09 <yargy> I could even find the config file the wiki listed
08:07:18 <yargy> to change the key bindings
08:07:19 *** Anton has joined #gnucash
08:07:27 <yargy> so I couldn't even try it
08:08:49 <warlord> Check the file under Gnucash.app?
08:08:57 <warlord> er, check /for/
08:12:14 <yargy> hmmm
08:12:19 <yargy> I don't think it is there either
08:12:28 <yargy> I did a find and it doesn't seem to be there
08:14:00 <warlord> You'll have to ask john
08:16:28 <yargy> oh I'm not sure who that is lol
08:17:38 <warlord> The guy who does the mac port
08:18:11 <warlord> He's not here (obviously).. So as suggested last night, ask on the gnucash-user mailing list.

14:00:00 *** harold has joined #gnucash
14:01:48 <harold> I am a noob. I am trying to set up and retrieve quotes for a stock on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. The symbol is OASM. I think I did something wrong, and I don't know what I did or how to fix it. Now, when I try to get quotes, it says "Unable to retrieve quotes for these items: template: OASM." What should I do?
14:12:18 *** john has joined #gnucash
14:12:18 *** gncbot sets mode: +o john
14:19:46 <warlord> harold: your issue was using "template" as the stock namespace.
14:19:56 <warlord> harold: alas, there is no way to fix that mistake
14:20:00 <harold> I have made some progress.
14:20:09 <harold> I saw in the forums that this is a bug.
14:20:21 <warlord> The bug is allowing you to see and use "template"
14:20:35 <harold> I tried editing the uncompressed xml file, but it still is giving the error.
14:21:06 <warlord> harold: you'd have to edit it in a lot of places.
14:21:07 <harold> I am using Linux. Is there a way to remove it by editing the xml file
14:21:23 <harold> So really just better to start over with a new xml file?
14:21:34 <harold> It isn't a big deal, I am still getting started.
14:22:31 <warlord> Yeah, if you can start over then yes, do that..
14:22:41 <harold> So, whatever. While I have you online, how would you go about getting the quote for this stock?
14:25:25 <warlord> umm.. do you know where you can find the price quotes online? What web site sources them?
14:25:54 *** Topcat has joined #gnucash
14:26:13 <harold> Well, you can get it from Google Finance, the stock symbol is STO:OASM
14:26:18 <harold> Or Bloomberg.
14:26:50 <warlord> yahoo?
14:27:01 <harold> Yes, even there.
14:27:22 <harold> It is OASM.ST on yahoo.
14:28:10 <warlord> Then try using that..
14:28:33 <harold> So, starting from setting up the security. What is it? The choices are AMEX, NYSE, FUND, EUREX, NASDAQ.
14:28:43 <harold> This doesn't really make sense.
14:28:45 <warlord> It's a user-setting namespace.
14:28:58 <warlord> If none of the existing namespaces make sense, type something in.
14:29:11 <warlord> It's just a way for you to collect "similar" securities together.
14:29:20 <harold> I mean, I wouldn't even have thought that AMEX is a security type.
14:29:22 <warlord> And yes, OASM.ST @ yahoo works for me.
14:29:30 <warlord> American Stock EXchange
14:30:01 <harold> OK, so I type in "Stocks" for the type.
14:30:20 <harold> Then I leave the ISIN blank.
14:30:30 <harold> Then what is this Fraction traded field?
14:31:24 <warlord> Smallest # of shares tradable. E.g., some funds let you buy .001 shares
14:31:39 <harold> OK, well for a stock, that would be 1/1
14:31:39 <warlord> (This is all in the docs)
14:31:46 <warlord> probably, yes.
14:31:57 <harold> Then, there are several yahoo sources.
14:33:00 <harold> I just chose USA. Not sure why, but it seemed to work.
14:33:29 <warlord> right
14:33:39 <harold> OK. Now for a bizarre question.
14:33:51 <harold> Do you know how to get a quote for Bitcoins?
14:33:57 <warlord> Nope.
14:34:02 <harold> lol.
14:34:18 <harold> OK, that's all for now. Thanks for your help. I'm sure I'll be back.
14:34:50 <warlord> Also, I would recommend you use miliBTC instead of BTC..
14:35:43 <harold> Does it matter? Can you get a quote for that?
14:36:25 <warlord> Dont know
14:36:51 <harold> Can Gnucash get quotes from Bloomberg or Google?
14:37:34 <warlord> It gets quotes from whatever F::Q provides.
14:37:42 <harold> right.
14:37:44 <warlord> AFAIK there is no google source..
14:37:58 <warlord> Whatever is in the list is what's there.
14:38:06 <harold> Is F::Q still under active development?
14:38:58 <warlord> I would call it... maintenance mode.
14:39:13 <harold> So they aren't adding more sources?
14:39:55 <warlord> You'll have to ask them
14:40:06 <harold> OK, thanks.
