00:25:18 <bozonius> Book Options->Counters allows (or so it says) printf-style formatting of the various counters
00:25:23 <bozonius> but that doesn't happen for me.
00:25:38 <bozonius> I still get the standard-issue 6-digit number
00:25:54 <bozonius> e.g., for customer, I put C%5.5d
00:26:16 <bozonius> I expected my customers to be numbered C00001, C00002, C00003, etc
00:26:33 <bozonius> I actually get (the usual) 000001, 000002, 000003, etc
00:26:41 <bozonius> what did Bozonius do wrong now?
00:34:46 <bozonius> do I have to put it in double-quotes or something?
00:35:04 * bozonius scratches his head
00:38:59 <bozonius> also notice that the online guide says gnucash can store its data in XML or in an SQL database
00:53:39 <bozonius> I only get 2 options at the data format prompt: XML and sqlite, not mysql (or postgres)
00:56:08 *** ErKa has quit IRC
01:01:11 <bozonius> aha!
01:01:21 <bozonius> I have to install the libdbd for mysql. nvm that part, but...
01:01:27 <bozonius> what about those counters?
01:09:49 <bozonius> %li -- is that the ONLY format permitted? Why can't I use, say, "%5.5d"
01:10:02 <bozonius> (just trying to follow the logic on this)
01:21:33 <bozonius> yeah, tried the %li format, as described in the gnucash wiki, doesn't do it either

12:27:47 <venkat> Hello
12:27:56 *** GabrieleV_ has joined #gnucash
12:28:36 *** GabrieleV has quit IRC
12:28:36 *** GabrieleV_ is now known as GabrieleV
12:30:02 <venkat> Is there any way that I can manage 2 different books in GNUCash from within the same instance of GUI?
12:47:20 *** gjanssens is now known as gjanssens_
12:50:53 <warlord> venkat: yes, and no. A single running gnucash does not allow you to have multiple data files open simultaneously. You can run GnuCash a second time.. Or you can swap back and forth between them
12:52:27 <venkat> Ok. Is there a way I can transfer data between these two instances. For example, I am transferring some cash from bank to instance 1. I need that amount to be reflected in instance 2 when I open it. Is this possible?
12:52:37 <warlord> No
12:52:45 <warlord> Two data files are 100% independent
12:53:25 *** cartsoftware has joined #gnucash
12:53:54 <warlord> If you have transactions between, e.g. your personal accounts and your business accounts you need to enter them twice, once into your personal books, and once into your business books. Gnucash cannot do that for you.
12:54:05 <venkat> Ok. Can GNU cash pickup information from an external file? For example, the balance in Instance 1:Cash is written to a file. Instance 2:Cash reads from that file and picks up?
12:54:13 <venkat> Ok Got that answer.
12:55:07 <venkat> How do I convert my existing install of GNU to use MySQL/MariaDB as backend?
12:55:19 <venkat> GNUCash*
12:57:01 <warlord> File -> Save As
12:57:28 <warlord> note, however, that there are still possble data-loss bugs if you use the SQL backend.
12:59:24 <venkat> Understood about data loss.

14:53:48 <jralls> gjanssens_: I just noticed that when building, the .go files are getting compiled into ~/.cache/ccache. Is that really where we want them?

16:54:11 <Z-Chymera> also, I ahve another issue - I am trying to import my transactions from my online account. The date is formatted by my bank as d.m.y - but gnucash only seems to support dash-sepparated dates :-/
16:54:33 *** jralls is now known as jralls_afk
16:54:50 <Z-Chymera> really? I can't edit that? do I have to edit all of y csv file instead? -.-

20:26:28 <warlord> Z-Chymera: using csv-import?
20:26:44 <warlord> (which importer?_
20:51:52 <Z-Chymera> csv-importer yes, but it turns out I was just stupid and not selecting types for the columns - the only nuisance remains that it will not accept date formats with dots... only with dashes
20:57:14 <warlord> That's not surprising.
