06:55:03 <gjanssens> Sirump: the first issue you asked about yesterday (the C in front of your currency symbol) is the subject of bug 723145
06:55:03 <gjanssens> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723145
06:55:12 <gjanssens> But contrary to John's reply the fix is not in 2.6.3 yet. As you can read in the report there is still an issue with the patch. Once the author fixes that I will apply it.
06:55:34 <gjanssens> Sirump: I have no idea why you suddenly have a 1c diffence between your payment and your invoice
06:55:41 <gjanssens> Regarding a way to see all 'orphaned' payments they should be visible in the new payment dialog
06:55:52 <gjanssens> Although I have to admit never tested this with overpayments that predate 2.6.x
06:56:05 <gjanssens> I equally have no idea what the scrub button does in the lots viewer. It was there before I ever got in touch with that part of the program.
06:56:18 <gjanssens> It's very well possible this is more related to lots created by the shares/investment code rather than with the business code
06:56:19 <gjanssens> But I can't tell just like that
06:57:43 <gjanssens> Sirump: I just ran a test - you should find all orphaned payments in the payment dialog even those coming from before 2.6.x
06:57:46 <gjanssens> I unposted a paid invoice and then reposted it.
06:57:55 <gjanssens> Hitting the Apply payment button for the invoice shows both the invoice and the now orphaned payment in the dialog ('orphaned' being your term :)
06:58:05 <gjanssens> You should be able to select both the invoice and the pre-payment and click Ok to link them again
06:58:23 *** kwtm5 has quit IRC
06:59:11 <gjanssens> This last part was buggy in 2.6.1 though. You'll need at least 2.6.2 for it to work properly.
07:01:39 *** StuM has quit IRC
07:03:06 <gjanssens> As to why there is a difference between what you get when you view your invoice and what is posted I don't know for sure
07:03:30 <gjanssens> As Derek suggested there may be a rounding bug. The question would be if the bug is new or if the old code had the bug that is now fixed.
07:03:36 <gjanssens> I know that rounding has been touched a couple of times in the development cycle leading up to 2.6.
07:03:40 <gjanssens> But it has been a while.
07:03:43 <gjanssens> There are several bug reports open regarding rounding.
07:04:03 <gjanssens> I once attempted to get those fixed but had to give up
07:04:03 <gjanssens> The reason is that each country applies different rounding rules
07:04:03 <gjanssens> Fixing things for one country breaks it again for another
07:04:03 *** wol has joined #gnucash
07:04:03 <gjanssens> The only way to properly solve this is to make it configurable
07:04:05 <gjanssens> That was more work than I had time for then.
07:04:14 <fell_> Hm, I can ping code.gnucash.org but get no answer for wiki or lists.
07:04:19 *** fell_ is now known as fell
07:04:19 <gjanssens> (I'm talking about rounding on invoices here)
07:04:24 <fell> Or only after minutes.
07:04:48 <gjanssens> fell: same here no reply (at least not within half a minute)
07:04:48 <fell> warlord?
07:06:19 <gjanssens> @tell jralls while git may not have any problem with updating the script that called git pull Windows likely does. Windows won't allow git to delete an open file. That's at least how it went in svn and I would expect that same issue to happen in git.
07:07:11 <gncbot> gjanssens: The operation succeeded.
07:07:11 <gjanssens> There. Worked through my backlog of irc :)
07:07:39 <warlord> Sorry, I'm here now. Let me read the log.
07:08:16 <warlord> Hmm, vmhost load average is 19.. That's pretty high.
07:08:24 <warlord> (I suspect part of it is the disk preclear operation i'm performing in the background, but it is supposed to be niced)
07:09:57 <warlord> It is niced, and ioniced (to the Idle class)
07:10:06 <warlord> But the system is still under high load, which is affecting all the VMs, including code.
07:10:46 <warlord> (now I wish I had another system on which I could preclear the disk)
07:10:54 <warlord> .... actually, I wish I could buy some newer hardware -- the VM host is >5years old now.
07:11:16 <warlord> hmm, the code vm has a load of 86
07:11:54 <warlord> Down to 73..
07:15:37 *** gncbot has joined #gnucash

08:58:55 *** ErKa has joined #gnucash
09:02:07 <jralls> gjanssens: I understand the open-file issue. How about a separate scheduled action that runs git pull on the repos directly? It could run just before daily_build.bat.
09:02:07 <gncbot> jralls: Sent 1 hour and 56 minutes ago: <gjanssens> while git may not have any problem with updating the script that called git pull Windows likely does. Windows won't allow git to delete an open file. That's at least how it went in svn and I would expect that same issue to happen in git.
09:04:20 <warlord> jralls: it's nice to have only one .bat script that gets scheduled
09:05:25 <jralls> Don't want another .bat: That would just move the problem.
09:06:02 <jralls> And BTW, the daily didn't run this morning.
09:07:24 <jralls> Can the windows scheduler chain commands, like the unix `git pull && daily_build.bat`?
09:07:35 <warlord> I dont think so

09:21:51 *** linas has quit IRC
09:26:24 *** TradeBorG1118 has joined #gnucash
09:31:04 <gjanssens> jralls: in addition you would first need to cd into the proper directory
09:31:20 <gjanssens> But I don't think this is much or an issue in itself
09:31:43 <jralls> Yes, of course.
09:31:52 <gjanssens> The build script normally only changes very infrequently
09:32:22 <gjanssens> So in that case we have to manually run a git pull
09:32:44 <gjanssens> Not are heavy maintenance burden...
09:33:02 <jralls> OK, except that I can't do it and so I have to remember to ask you or Derek. The remembering is the hard part...
09:33:08 <gjanssens> In the extreme case we could also move the git pull up into the current primary bat script
09:33:20 <gjanssens> That changes even less frequently
09:34:03 <gjanssens> git works just fine in a windows shell environment
09:39:50 <jralls> Agreed, I use it that way frequently. There are a few things that are easier at the CL than in a GUI.
09:59:42 *** benoitg has joined #gnucash
10:03:09 <warlord> gjanssens: jralls doesn't have access to the build server. Perhaps we can/should fix that?
10:03:33 <warlord> (although in my current experience the only real way to access the vm console is via IE on Windows)
10:03:41 <gjanssens> warlord: that would certainly make sense to me
10:03:54 <gjanssens> He is after all the current active release manager
10:04:08 * warlord nods
10:04:42 * gjanssens can only connect to the vm via IE on Windows as well
10:05:03 <gjanssens> Doing that in a VM myself even because I have no real machine running Windows...
10:05:19 <warlord> gjanssens: ditto
10:05:28 <gjanssens> Virtualization has come a long way...
10:05:41 <warlord> indeed
10:05:46 <jralls> And for me as well, though the last time I tried IE it crashed. I use Chrome.
10:06:03 <gjanssens> Would that work to connect to the vm ?
10:06:18 <gjanssens> (you haven't tried yet of course)
10:06:43 <warlord> I have never tried using chrome, but I suspect it wont work
10:06:54 <warlord> I dont think the console plugin will work with chrome
10:07:34 <jralls> But I started it up just now and it seems to be OK. How do I start the console emulator? Is it a separate DL?
10:07:53 <gjanssens> It downloads after you are logged in
10:08:19 <warlord> Right, I need to set you up with an account first.
10:08:44 <jralls> OK.
10:10:32 *** jmd has joined #gnucash
10:17:11 <warlord> Account created. I'm going to email you the password I set.
10:18:39 <warlord> It *might* require me resetting the vm server before it takes effect. (ISTR it not recognizing new users/groups automatically)
10:19:37 <jralls> A reboot for a new user? That's rude. You should file a bug!
10:21:09 <warlord> Not reboot; restart
10:21:10 <gjanssens> Yeah, and while you're at it complain the plugin is not working on a decent, modern browser on a real os ;)
10:21:37 <warlord> Considering the VM software was EOLed in June 2010...... I don't have much to talk to
10:21:54 <gjanssens> To a ghost ?
10:22:14 <warlord> lol
10:22:15 <gjanssens> Anyway, have you ever considered switching to kvm or xen ?
10:22:26 <jralls> Wow. Maybe time for a new one?
10:22:30 <warlord> Yes... when I get new hardware and can migrate
10:22:46 <jralls> Gee, it keeps coming back to that!
10:22:52 <gjanssens> Fedora is rather active in the virtualization space
10:23:11 <warlord> I haven't found a good solution that has a good https access to both the vm admin *and* vm console
10:23:32 <gjanssens> Oh well, I know the theme... my server is getting old as well
10:24:26 <warlord> This hardware is ... old.
10:24:40 <warlord> Installed 2009-01-26
10:25:39 <gjanssens> That' about the same age as mine
10:25:50 <gjanssens> End of 2008
10:26:14 <gjanssens> Currently running 5 linux vm's and 2 windows vm's
10:26:34 <gjanssens> A windows build on that system takes a loooong time
10:28:58 <warlord> I've got 13 VMs running.
10:29:06 <warlord> (only 1 is windows)
10:29:23 *** MechtiIde has quit IRC
10:29:44 <warlord> I have 2 Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2378 CPUs (so 8 cores), and 32G of RAM
10:30:28 *** linas__ has joined #gnucash
10:30:28 *** linas_ has quit IRC
10:31:23 <gjanssens> I have to do with less...
10:33:23 <gjanssens> This server has 2 Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2214 CPU's, 24G of RAM
10:33:52 <gjanssens> You could send me yours when you have a replacement. That would still be an upgrade for me :)
10:34:56 <warlord> LOL
10:35:27 <jralls> OK, I'm in. And out, after clicking Help and getting a error dialog, and back in again, but the first time I was in had an "inventory" sidebar and now the sidebar is empty.
10:37:48 *** benoitg has quit IRC
10:37:54 <jralls> Geez. I clicked what looks like a "reload" icon and it frigging rebooted without asking for confirmation, and now the green arrow is throbbing but nothing else is happening.
10:40:07 <warlord> You just rebooted the VM? ;)
10:40:50 <warlord> I guess I should've given you better instructions
10:41:01 <warlord> Click on the item in the inventory
10:41:07 <warlord> Then click on the "Console" tab
10:41:13 <warlord> then open the console
10:41:17 <jralls> I can't actually tell. That's what it says I did in the "Task" panel at the bottom, but I can't actually see anything.
10:42:05 <jralls> There's no "inventory" after it kicked me out and I had to log back in.
10:42:40 <warlord> Uhhh.....
10:42:52 <warlord> Okay, let me check from my end.
10:43:08 <warlord> There are still 13 VMs running.
10:43:15 <jralls> No, it's back now. Maybe it was waiting for the VM to restart.
10:43:26 <warlord> Maybe..
10:44:22 <gjanssens> You're in via Chrome ?
10:44:30 <jralls> I have an inventory with win32.gnucash.org in it, but I see no console tab, or anything else that says console.
10:44:35 <jralls> No, IE
10:44:44 <gjanssens> Oh
10:45:42 <jralls> IE 11.0.3, which since the "new versions automagically" box on the about dialog is checked I'll guess is the current release.
10:46:36 <warlord> Click on the 'win32.gnucash.org' item in the inventory list.
10:46:56 <warlord> That should give you a bunch of details about the VM in the right-side frame
10:47:03 <jralls> Did that. Nothing happens.
10:47:19 <warlord> Hmm... Maybe IE11 is just too new?
10:47:28 * warlord uses IE7 or IE8
10:48:18 * gjanssens uses IE7 as well
10:48:29 <jralls> That could be a problem. I'm starting up my XP VM.
10:48:50 <gjanssens> The symptoms you describe look suspiciously like what I got with a recent firefox
10:49:17 <gjanssens> warlord: xen and kvm can both be managed via libvirt
10:49:49 <gjanssens> There are many applications that use libvirt to manage a vm server
10:50:03 <gjanssens> A quick google turned up this page: http://www.libvirt.org/apps.html
10:50:07 <warlord> gjanssens: yeah, but I want everything via https, not requiring ssh access (and ideally not even requiring shell access to the VM host)
10:50:25 <gjanssens> There are server side solutions like oVirt
10:50:33 <gjanssens> These require only http(s)
10:50:57 <jralls> Seems to work better in XP.
10:51:02 <gjanssens> I haven't studied any of these in detail myself, but it may be a good starting point
10:51:08 <warlord> yeah, but oVirt is a bit more.... overbearing. It takes over the machine, for example, and requires at least two machines (master and slave)
10:51:26 <warlord> i've been looking for a few years now.
10:51:52 <gjanssens> Heh, it can be hard to find the sweet spot
10:55:29 <jralls> OK, I've got the console installed and it's showing me a WinXP boot sequence.
10:56:15 *** zelgadis has joined #gnucash
10:57:18 <zelgadis> hi, can someone help me with scheme? I tried to google but no luck.
10:57:50 <zelgadis> there is a defined function with "rest" arguments
10:58:08 <zelgadis> (gnc:html-document-markup-start doc markup end-tag? . rest)
10:58:55 <warlord> jralls: great, that means it's starting up the VM. please try not to reboot it again ;)
10:59:17 <warlord> zelgadis: it's a variadic procedure
10:59:24 <zelgadis> ok
10:59:27 <warlord> (undefined # of elements)
10:59:59 <zelgadis> i have a list of lists that contains parameters for that vararg
11:00:02 <jralls> It's started, and I have a desktop.
11:00:03 <zelgadis> i.e. (list (list "a" "b") (list "c" "d"))
11:00:55 <zelgadis> if i pass it as is, it's is wrapped in additional list
11:01:07 <warlord> jralls: great.
11:01:08 <zelgadis> (((a b) (a b)))
11:01:24 <warlord> There is an icon on the desktop that will kick off the build
11:01:37 <zelgadis> is it possible to somehow "explode" the list to avoid additional wrap?
11:01:57 <warlord> What do you mean, "explode the list"?
11:02:29 <zelgadis> if this list is stored in var myList
11:02:52 <zelgadis> and i call (gnc:html-document-markup-start doc style "div" #t myList)
11:03:13 <zelgadis> then it comes as (((a b )(c d)))
11:03:21 <zelgadis> in ...markup-start
11:03:36 <zelgadis> but if i explicetely write
11:04:10 <zelgadis> (gnc:html-document-markup-start doc style "div" #t (list "a" "b") (list "c" "d"))
11:04:30 <zelgadis> is does not have that additional wrapping and comes as ((a b )(c d))
11:06:16 <zelgadis> is there some function of so that can gave me that. something like (gnc:html-document-markup-start doc style "div" #t (unwrap-for-vararg-please myList))
11:06:39 <warlord> right, that's because (list "a" "b") (list "c" "d") is not the same as (list (list "a" "b") (list "c" "d")
11:06:44 <warlord> )
11:07:14 <zelgadis> ok, some way to convert?
11:09:53 <zelgadis> i think i can introduce additional function as an internal impl and delegate html-document-markup-start to it. hope it can handle the differences, but if there is just some convertion, it would be more convinient
11:10:17 <warlord> There is no "unlist"
11:11:06 <zelgadis> ok
11:11:17 <warlord> You might want to look at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.scheme/rjVyyYggpWE
11:14:05 <zelgadis> ok, give a try with apply
11:14:12 <zelgadis> thank you :)
11:15:09 <gjanssens> warlord: I know the solution for your https access to a management console:
11:15:20 <gjanssens> let's add it as a feature in GnuCash ! :D
11:15:59 <gjanssens> (we're just too late to suggest this as a crazy idea for GSOC)

11:39:36 <jralls> Is it normal for the web window to get periodic "The server could not complete a request" errors?

12:00:41 *** gjanssens is now known as gjanssens_
12:13:48 <seeren> is there no way to use a preconfigured report as as the default for invoicing?
12:25:26 <warlord> I thought there was, but you need to first configure and "save" the report. But what I do is just leave the preconfigured report "open" (don't close the tab) and then load the new invoice when I want to print it.

14:12:32 <MarkMynsted> what is auto-balance split (I am importing from a QFX file and I have no idea what auto-balance split means) I can find nothing in the docs
14:17:45 *** SteveG has quit IRC
14:27:27 *** ErKa has joined #gnucash
14:33:31 <der_Metzger> MarkMynsted: you're importing to account A, and you need to select an account B to offset the change in A
14:34:04 <der_Metzger> so, ofx is for bank, transaction X -30 -> expenses dinner +30
14:34:35 <der_Metzger> the auto balance will try to guess what the transaction is related to
14:35:15 <der_Metzger> so if you have a bunch of "spacediner" entries that go to expenses:dinner, it will pick up on htis
15:02:36 <MarkMynsted> oh, I am importing about 45 transactions and they are all yellow, and more should go with a companion transaction from a different account that I just imported.
15:03:17 <MarkMynsted> It can't seem to find them. I wonder if there is a way I can say, "hey, this is the balancing transaction"
15:03:58 <der_Metzger> well, if you match them on the first go, it should catch that they're already there on the 2nd one
15:04:06 <MarkMynsted> Is there a place some docs someplace that talks about this? I may not be looking the right way
15:04:09 <der_Metzger> but double click on the yellow one
15:04:16 <der_Metzger> and pick an account that it goes to
15:04:30 <MarkMynsted> what does that do?
15:04:53 <MarkMynsted> will it find the correct transaction in the selected account?
15:05:09 <MarkMynsted> after I select the account it goes with?
15:05:38 <MarkMynsted> I wonder if I should quit without saving, backup everything
15:07:25 <der_Metzger> I've found if the amounts and dates are the same, it should just 'reconcile' on the 2nd pass
15:07:37 <MarkMynsted> hmm
15:07:48 <der_Metzger> looking through the manual, lemme see
15:08:13 <MarkMynsted> Is the second pass the one after you have double-clicked the companion account and performed the import?
15:08:14 *** jralls has quit IRC
15:08:24 <MarkMynsted> (I found nothing in the manual)
15:08:35 <MarkMynsted> maybe I need an account class or something
15:08:47 <MarkMynsted> I find this stuff painful
15:10:55 <MarkMynsted> I think I am not finding stuff in the manual (or google) because I am not using the right words to describe what I am doing...
15:12:23 <der_Metzger> it's tough at first
15:12:35 <MarkMynsted> ok
15:12:53 <der_Metzger> 2nd pass would mean the 2nd ofx file
15:14:21 <der_Metzger> how far have you gotten along before you got to the ofx file?
15:20:20 <der_Metzger> http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2010-April/034615.html
15:21:32 <der_Metzger> http://books.google.com/books?id=xO_KALYkN8IC&pg=PT133&lpg=PT133&dq=import+transaction+red+gnucash&source=bl&ots=s26KYfXCWU&sig=cZAlL23oUrU8Sp1RJMn-pZuFQJ0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=skQ_U_arFdGQyQG9lYAI&ved=0CFwQ6AEwBw#v=onepage&q=import%20transaction%20red%20gnucash&f=false
15:21:37 <der_Metzger> that one is a little dated
15:22:31 <der_Metzger> but the colours are the same
15:23:11 <der_Metzger> http://computriks.com/en/gnucash-import-transactions
15:24:14 <der_Metzger> the window you have is all red, right?
15:24:18 <der_Metzger> er, all yellow
15:31:49 <MarkMynsted> well I need to reconcile about a year of transactions...
15:32:00 <MarkMynsted> yes all yellow
15:32:51 <MarkMynsted> It actually found one and I let it stay. It seemed like a good thing that it found it.
15:33:19 <MarkMynsted> It seems like it should find them all the transactions are imported from the same financial institution
15:35:38 <MarkMynsted> thank you for the links
15:36:13 <MarkMynsted> :-)
15:37:06 <der_Metzger> yeah, reconciling is a long time, but once you get them in it's pretty easy
15:37:24 <der_Metzger> and if you have a lot of recuring ones, just do the first few, then do not import the rest
15:37:33 <der_Metzger> then re-import the ofx file and it should have a lot of green ones
15:37:44 <MarkMynsted> Ok. I think I should like to try to back out what I did and then re-try these
15:38:03 <MarkMynsted> good
15:38:12 <MarkMynsted> Thank you again. I will try that
15:38:50 <MarkMynsted> So it can know that it has already imported some transactions and also can learn how to handle them
15:38:50 <MarkMynsted> ok
15:38:52 <der_Metzger> iin the beginning I read the 'intro to accounting' bit in the manual a couple of times
15:39:07 <MarkMynsted> Ok, I will read that also then.
15:39:16 <der_Metzger> it made more sense out of the double-entry after that
15:39:27 <der_Metzger> I wound up with a huge imbalance the first try =)
15:39:34 <MarkMynsted> I should not have left this to the last minuet
15:39:43 <der_Metzger> oh bugger, for taxes?
15:39:54 <MarkMynsted> yes heh
15:40:00 <der_Metzger> yeah
15:40:04 <der_Metzger> your weekend is gone =)
15:40:42 <MarkMynsted> Yeah, I have to bring it to my tax person tomorrow, so my night is gone maybe and then some
15:41:03 <der_Metzger> I'd just get the basics to start with
15:41:24 *** wizkid238 has quit IRC
15:41:31 *** wizkid238 has joined #gnucash
15:41:45 <MarkMynsted> I feel I am doing this all wrong and making a mess of things
15:42:00 <MarkMynsted> but I guess that is the way to learn
15:42:13 <der_Metzger> hmm
15:42:18 <der_Metzger> make a new gnucash file
15:42:32 <der_Metzger> then setup a couple of accounts, bank1 bank2 expense1 expense2
15:42:32 <MarkMynsted> so copy this to a new one?
15:42:37 <der_Metzger> no, just new
15:42:42 <MarkMynsted> oh I see
15:42:49 <der_Metzger> then import your ofx files as bank1 and bank2
15:43:04 <MarkMynsted> practice
15:43:06 <der_Metzger> and just do the first 2 transactions to get a hang of it
15:43:12 <MarkMynsted> great idea!
15:43:13 <der_Metzger> see that everything is where it shouldb e
15:43:15 <MarkMynsted> thanks
16:04:26 <der_Metzger> how's it going so far?
16:08:52 *** jralls has joined #gnucash
16:08:52 *** gncbot sets mode: +o jralls
16:11:16 <MarkMynsted> had some interruptions
16:13:42 <MarkMynsted> doing it now
16:33:39 <der_Metzger> fair enough
16:35:59 <MarkMynsted> ok, I uploaded one file and told it where the split goes. Now I will try the other file and see what happens (all in the experimental file)
16:39:13 <MarkMynsted> :-) hmm
16:39:20 <MarkMynsted> It worked better than I expected
16:39:49 <der_Metzger> =)
16:40:12 <MarkMynsted> Ok. A few more tests and I will try with the real file
16:40:36 <der_Metzger> try the file with 45 transactions now
16:40:49 <der_Metzger> some should work out automatically
16:40:58 <MarkMynsted> well I need to see if I can back out what I already did… not so sure
16:41:12 <MarkMynsted> might need to get files from an old backup
16:41:25 <MarkMynsted> oh, I see you mean in test
16:41:26 <MarkMynsted> ok
16:42:28 <MarkMynsted> WOW! it is like magic
16:42:33 <MarkMynsted> :-D
16:42:39 <MarkMynsted> Thank you so much!
16:43:19 <der_Metzger> =)
16:43:45 <der_Metzger> you have to keep an eye on them, but it's usually pretty good
16:43:55 <MarkMynsted> Now to see what I can do with the mess I have made with the real accounts
16:43:57 <der_Metzger> sometimes it tries to put grocery stores in home repair. but I digress
16:44:13 <MarkMynsted> :-)
16:44:15 <der_Metzger> there should be a number of backup files from before you started
16:44:43 <der_Metzger> are you starting from scratch? or do you have existing accounts setup
16:47:03 *** benoitg has joined #gnucash
16:52:15 <MarkMynsted> I have existing accounts, a couple of years of transactions
16:55:13 <der_Metzger> ahh, good
16:55:40 <der_Metzger> wait, in the ofx file or gnucash?
16:56:58 <MarkMynsted> gnucash
16:58:39 <der_Metzger> ahh
17:08:19 <MarkMynsted> ok, backed out my errors. I think this is going to work.
17:13:28 <der_Metzger> and likely in much less time, too!
17:24:14 <MarkMynsted> it learns quickly :-)
17:24:31 <MarkMynsted> this is so nice. Thanks again
17:27:15 <MarkMynsted> Now to see if it can reconcile old transactions that should match across accounts
17:31:40 <der_Metzger> yeah, that's a good way to catch mismatches..
17:31:45 <der_Metzger> also accidently add duplicates =)
17:31:53 <der_Metzger> I'm off.. have fun!
17:32:36 <MarkMynsted> bye :-D

21:32:57 <FandyFan> Hello. I just upgraded from 2.2.9 to 2.6.3. Windows 7 Intel Core Duo 2.2ghz. Because 2.2.9 crashed sometimes.
21:33:32 <FandyFan> At first I thought 2.6.3 is quite laggy, but it actually just the "Accounts" tab that is laggy (scrolling, switching to it). Is this to be expected?
21:34:31 <FandyFan> Scrolling in general is not really smooth, but it's better than what 2.2.9 did.
21:35:01 <FandyFan> We are talking about around 100 accounts

22:53:31 <gjanssens_> FandyFan: several people have reported this issue
22:54:08 <gjanssens_> It was worse even in 2.6.2 but jralls did some optimizations
22:54:29 *** gjanssens_ is now known as gjanssens
22:54:58 <gjanssens> Some people also reported it gets better by using a different gtk theme and/or setting another font
22:55:19 <gjanssens> You can do so with the "Select Theme" tool that gets installed together with GnuCash
