06:04:37 <Simon> using the symbol is a bit inconvenient if I have to use the full name to do the lookup
06:05:07 <Simon> although it looks like I can actually use the NSIN in the URL...
06:51:57 <Simon> well that was a waste of time :|
06:52:19 <Simon> it looked like FT funds was rounding something, but the price had actually changed by -0.01
06:52:56 <Simon> FT funds' price was actually updated before HL's website... but it's an HL fund

06:57:53 * Simon wonders how much of his gnucash file history is just the same two transactions being swapped around in the file
06:59:13 <Simon> they have guids of 25258b42edc3a7880058eca8364aa13a and 2fbcf6cc8224673bc93501399d4ca7be, and the same prefix on the description, but not the same date or amount

13:28:01 <Simon> why does --add-price-quotes have an exit code of 1?
13:30:33 <warlord> Did it successfully add quotes for every stock?
13:31:24 *** fell__ has joined #gnucash
13:31:25 *** gncbot sets mode: +o fell__
13:39:31 *** fell_ has quit IRC
13:41:01 <Simon> I don't know, it didn't output any messages other than the Finance::Quote version
13:42:18 <Simon> it wouldn't have added any new quotes because it's already up to date
13:42:43 <Simon> oh I have gnucash open :|
13:44:10 <Simon> it returns 0 if gnucash is closed
13:44:55 <Simon> that could get annoying... I want to check for failure but not if I just happen to have the file open
13:45:12 <Simon> although it doesn't log the reason for failures so there's no point
13:52:14 <warlord> It doesnt work if you have gnucash open.. GnuCash isn't multi-user -- you cannot have multiple instances open simultaneously
13:54:39 <Simon> I know that
13:55:02 <Simon> but I'm running this from cron so I'd prefer to be able to not regard that as an error, or at least return a different exit code
13:55:26 <warlord> What different exit code would you prefer when there's an error opening the data file?
13:56:43 <Simon> 2 ?
13:57:27 <Simon> then I could script it to ignore that error except when it's run overnight
13:57:46 <warlord> patches welcome :)
14:02:06 <Simon> I can't see where the current code decides to return 1
14:10:52 * Simon checks for the existence of the lock file instead
14:11:21 *** ErKa has joined #gnucash
14:14:14 <warlord> that would work too

18:25:50 <fell> Simon,can you improve http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes#Warning_About_Open_Files with your research, please?

18:40:43 *** guesting has joined #gnucash
18:42:03 <guesting> I am trying to set up automatic accounts linked online with my banks, but I'm confused about direct connect. Quicken makes you use a username and password and automatically links them for free--but it seems like direct connect is something else which may cost monthly? Is this right? Is there an alternative to direct connect which is free?

21:19:52 *** mib_t0j8xy has joined #gnucash
21:20:22 <mib_t0j8xy> I lost my connection--my question was about direct connect possibly being "free" or alternatives of that
21:20:44 <mib_t0j8xy> The quicken "web connect" thing
21:24:54 <mib_t0j8xy> Either that or I'm not understanding how to set up direct connect ofx, as it says that the username and password combination is invalid
22:00:53 *** lmat has quit IRC
22:44:35 <warlord> mib_t0j8xy: We support Direct Connect (via AqBanking), but not Web Connect. Whether banks charge or not is completely up to the bank

23:10:56 *** benjamin-agaric has quit IRC
23:13:19 <mib_t0j8xy> warlord: Is it called Direct Connect? I tried contacting Capital One about Direct Connect, and they said they knew nothing about it
23:13:27 *** AndreeeCZ_ has quit IRC
23:31:39 <fell> mib_t0j8xy: see http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/OFX and linked pages. If they don't help, as on the mailing list.
