04:45:52 <Mario-G> I've installed the latest version of gnucash on my computer. I need to have "." as a decimal separator because I'd like to use the keypad to enter numbers, without having to switch to the other portion of the keyboard to enter the comma. Setting LC_MONETARY=en_US in the environment file (I'm using Windows 8.1) does not change anything: numbers are displayed l
04:46:08 <Mario-G> like "1.055,23", "0,15" while I'd like them to be displayed as "1 055.23" and "0.15".
04:46:26 <Mario-G> If I change LANG=en_US to LANG=it_IT I have italian language for the interface and the same number format.
04:46:55 <Mario-G> If I put LC_MONETARY=en_US after setting LANG and LANGUAGE in the environment file, nothing changes. I also tried LC_MONETARY=de_CH without result.

18:07:08 <warlord> jmd: welcome to the world of GTK
18:07:36 <warlord> john: I'll take a look after dinner. (Just walked in the door)
18:08:19 <john> Ah, Derek, there you are. The 2.6.0 finally finished at 1500. I hope the 2.4.14 will finish soon.
18:08:24 <warlord> @tell Mario it helps if you stick around for more than 20 minutes waiting for an answer...
18:08:24 <gncbot> warlord: The operation succeeded.
18:09:34 <warlord> john: ah, good. I wonder why it took so long. What time did it start/end (head -1; tail -1 of the logfile)
18:09:40 <warlord> I guess I can do that pretty quickly.
18:11:22 <john> Started at 0516, finished at 1455. It's a release, so it had to build everything. :-(
18:11:52 <warlord> Yeah...
18:14:26 <john> And the trunk finished at 0505, so I guess it does one at a time, and just started the 2.4.14 a little after 1500, so it won't be done until midnight.
18:15:34 <warlord> yeah, it does one build at a time..
18:15:46 <warlord> I would have thought that the extra RAM/CPU would have sped it up, some.
18:16:29 <john> Guess not. Oh well.
18:17:48 <john> I wonder if we could get a satisfactory setup.exe with a cross-compilation. I think tarnyko is doing that for the Gtk3 packages he's making.
18:18:27 *** aqua___ has quit IRC
18:19:02 <john> But he's not making a setup, just dlls in tarballs.

20:01:55 <warlord> I thought cstim tried it once and it didn't quite work.
20:04:13 <David417> Hello. I have a situation where Gnucash has been sitting open for several hours, now I want to edit a transaction, but the particular account register has all the toolbar icons greyed out except close. Other account register windows appear to be normal
20:04:58 <warlord> David417: Is the account a "placeholder" account?
20:07:42 <David417> no. It is a normal bank account register that usually works properly until now. This type of issue comes up perhaps once or twice a month. If I close the program and restart it it will be fine, but I want to find out why it is happening.
20:08:27 <David417> this is Windows 7 running release 2.4.13
20:09:49 <David417> The trace file shows several critical errors right now.
20:12:28 <warlord> Can you pastebin them?

20:14:31 <David417> chat froze
20:14:45 <David417> Ho do I pasebin in chatzilla
20:14:58 <David417> how
20:16:08 <warlord> http://pastebin.ca
20:21:20 <David417> pastebin - GnucashTrace - post number 2519985
20:22:05 <David417> did that work?
20:35:10 <David417> I cannot create an account there
20:36:21 <David417> I think that I did create a post
20:46:09 <LiamH> Must imported QIF files have only one account per file (not counting split/balance accounts)?
21:04:27 *** David417 has quit IRC
21:17:48 *** kpreid has joined #gnucash
22:29:34 <warlord> LiamH: No, QIF supports multi-account files
22:31:23 <LiamH> warlord: OK, so the account name N and type T that go on lines 2 and 3 of the file can be anything, or they must be repeated for a new account?
22:32:25 <warlord> LiamH: I dont know offhand. Google for the qif spec and read up on it?
22:32:58 <LiamH> warlord: Done that, not a lot of information out there with that level of specificity. I will just try it and see what happens.
22:33:19 <LiamH> After making a copy of my gnucash file, of course.
22:33:44 <warlord> Luckily the QIF importer makes no changes until you finish the import.
22:34:04 <LiamH> True
22:35:00 <warlord> But to answer your question, no, i don't think you can put just anything in those fields.
22:35:45 <LiamH> Well I wasn't going to put just anything, I'd put the information for the account in the first set of transactions.
22:46:05 <warlord> Well, for the account list you do need the N (name) and T (type) flags for each account you define.
22:46:32 <LiamH> warlord: OK, that makes sense
22:46:36 <warlord> Basically you define the accounts, and then you use them. You only need to define your Asset and Liability accounts.
22:46:45 <warlord> Income/Expenses are done via Categories
22:47:03 <warlord> Then you use them in your transactions: LCategory or L[Account]
22:47:16 <warlord> Anyways, gotta go.
22:47:21 <LiamH> ah, OK. Thanks.
