10:44:22 <gjanssens> Hi, there. In my recent spare time I have been experimenting how hard it would be to migrate gnucash to gtk3
10:44:41 <gjanssens> Except for the register code this seems relatively straight forward.
10:45:11 <gjanssens> So I intend to go ahead with this on the master branch
10:45:41 <gjanssens> I'm aware our future gui toolkit hasn't formally been decided yet
10:46:34 <gjanssens> This certainly won't happen for the next major release (2.8) so we're talking almost 5 years in the future at best for the gui overhaul
10:47:13 <gjanssens> In the meantime I wouldn't want gnucash to become obsolete due to the use of gtk2.
10:47:49 <gjanssens> Gtk2 currently still receives minimal maintenance, but I doubt this will still be the case 5 years from now.
10:48:06 <gjanssens> Long introduction to get to this:
10:48:37 <gjanssens> The preparations for the switch to gtk3 involve cleaning up a number of deprecated symbols.
10:48:43 <gjanssens> I have done these locally.
10:49:13 <gjanssens> All these changes are gtk2 compatible.
10:49:46 <gjanssens> As such I'd like to push these to the maint branch already instead of the master branch to prevent both branches to needlessly divert too far.
10:50:10 <gjanssens> Consider it a form of paying technical debt in the gui area :)
10:50:33 <gjanssens> The changes are all rather straightforward, quasi find-and-replace actions.
10:50:40 <gjanssens> Any objections to this ?
10:51:16 <gjanssens> Oh and obviously I have been eating my own dogfood and have been running gnucash with these patches applied locally.

13:47:41 <jralls> gjamssems: Sounds like a good plan. Go ahead and merge.
13:48:14 <jralls> @tell gjanssens Sounds like a good plan, go ahead and merge it.
13:48:14 <gncbot> jralls: The operation succeeded.

13:53:01 <jralls> @tell gjanssens I think that the only thing blocking the register from a similar conversion is replacing gnomecanvas with a cairo surface, though fixing up Reg2 so that it's stable would be better.

17:07:09 <Bradipo> Hello...
17:07:48 <Bradipo> Docs here say to use Expenses:Capital Loss account for loss, but the example in 8.7.2 puts it in Income:Cap Gain(Long):IBM
17:07:52 <Bradipo> http://gnucash.org/docs/v2.4/C/gnucash-guide/invest-sell1.html
17:08:12 *** fell_ has joined #gnucash
17:08:30 <Bradipo> Seems like the description in the section 8.7 Selling Shares is wrong...

17:17:05 <jralls> Bradipo: You can do it either way. A negative income is equivalent to an expense.
17:18:29 <jralls> Bardipo: That might be affected by how the Advanced Portfolio report works. I don't use it and so don't know.
17:23:48 <Bradipo> Ok.
17:23:58 <Bradipo> I wondered if they might be equivalent.
17:24:19 <Bradipo> However, not all ``expenses'' can be considered negative income.
17:25:16 <Bradipo> I think I'll stick with how the example did it (Income:Capital Loss/Gain)
17:25:33 <Bradipo> Thanks.
17:25:46 <jralls> You're welcome.
