13:29:16 <inksi> two of us using gnucash here on 3 separate machines, different versions, one windows + two linux machines. neither of us find the entry auto-number feature working. I assume this is working. Is there something simple we could be doing wrong? I reset the counters in Properties, but no success. also the number format appears to be locked in, I cannot delete or change it, that is after doing so it reappears unchanged on a fresh start of
13:29:16 <inksi> gnucash
13:36:05 *** fabior has quit IRC
13:36:25 <warlord> inksi: what do you mean "entry auto number feature?"
13:38:23 <inksi> when I make a new entry in, say, expenses, then complete that and move on to the next, is it not supposed to give it the next sequential number under the column 'Num' ?
13:38:39 <warlord> No.
13:38:53 <warlord> You need to explicitly go into the Num column and click '+' to get the next number.
13:39:34 <warlord> note also that this number is in the *transaction*, not the *split*, so it's shared amongst all account registers that the transaction touches...
13:39:48 <warlord> and using + will use the next highest number of all transactions in the register
13:40:14 <inksi> really? let me try that. I'll have to reset the 'counter' to the highest number currently given manually.
13:41:10 <warlord> no, you dont
13:41:20 <warlord> the num column in the registers are not controlled by any "counters"
13:41:42 <warlord> it's literally a numeric counter, and the "hightest number" is computed based on the contents of the account.
13:44:56 *** O01eg has joined #gnucash
13:45:11 <inksi> right, not needed. what is the File / Properties / Counters option for then?
13:46:22 <warlord> For the Business features.
13:46:28 <warlord> (Invoices/Bills/etc)
13:47:55 <inksi> i see! Business / Employee / New Expense Voucher
13:48:19 <warlord> among others
13:48:52 <inksi> you have demystified something for me that I have been looking all week in the help. I suppose I will find mention of the '+' if I look now.
13:49:10 <inksi> thanks warlord, much appreciated
13:49:35 <warlord> you will, if you look up the number column in the register
