07:43:53 <MechtiIde> Am I right that how to pay bills with gnucash is not described?
07:43:59 <MechtiIde> in the guide

08:09:10 <gjanssens> Mechtilde: there's a very limited (and outdated) mention of paying bills in http://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.6/C/gnucash-guide/bus-ap-payment1.html
08:09:55 <gjanssens> It's in need of an update as the payment process has changed in 2.6.x compared to 2.4.x
08:10:23 <gjanssens> And it's very concise as well, so it could well use some more explanation...
08:11:40 <MechtiIde> ok 3 lines of text
08:11:49 <gjanssens> There is an enhancement request for this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729265
08:12:14 *** gjanssens is now known as gjanssens_
08:20:50 <MechtiIde> first I need to study this

10:23:04 <getling> I'm having a stylesheet font issue on 2.6.8 on Yosemite 10.10.5 - Advanced Portfolio report table headings "Account...Symbol...Basis" are not changing font with any of the options on the 'Default' stylesheet...I'm probably going wrong somewhere I just don't know where!
10:24:59 <getling> and the Google couldn't find anyone else reporting this as an issue to lists.gnucash

13:34:11 <Heinrich> anyone got latest stable 2.6.8 running on OS X El Captain?
13:35:02 <Heinrich> I'm getting black pop up screen and data is not loading, 2.6.7 works
13:36:17 <warlord> Heinrich: known issue
13:37:39 <Heinrich> good to know, thx

14:38:04 <Heinrich> Is there any bulk edit feature in GnuCash like e.g. for all entries containing 'AT&T' assign a specific expense account?
14:38:34 <warlord> Heinrich: no
14:38:51 <Heinrich> I've been doing that with QIF file generation before importing but that's a lot of headache
14:42:23 <warlord> It's really the only way
14:42:37 <warlord> It begs the question: why are you miscategorizing them in the first place?
14:43:37 <Heinrich> they come from bank statements, I hardly enter anything manually into the system
14:44:04 <Heinrich> this may be not the way accountants do it but I am not one
14:44:33 <warlord> Ah, well then you should be sure to properly assign them during your import.
14:45:56 *** lwells has quit IRC
14:46:02 <Heinrich> well UI would be helpful to verify that regex actually does what it should :)
14:48:10 <warlord> ah, well, there is no "regex" in the importer. It is all still manual.
14:49:05 <Heinrich> yes, I am using regex in the transformation from csv to qif
14:49:36 <Heinrich> I am looking at githib, cannot find a place that describes how to build the app
14:51:35 <Heinrich> got it now, thx
14:53:24 <warlord> Ah.. well... that's different.
14:54:09 <Heinrich> it shouldn't be too hard to add something like xero has
14:54:47 <warlord> The good news is that you can run the qif import and cancel it before it makes any changes to your data file.
14:56:13 <Heinrich> would you expose regular expressions to the user or do you consider something like that not user friendly?
14:56:26 <warlord> It's not user friendly

17:52:09 <joe> Hi, I'm trying to use gnucash on windows, but when I get through the New Accounts wizard with default settings, it fails to save
17:52:22 <joe> and hangs when I choose a save location
17:53:10 <joe> there is no log.conf in .gnucash in my home folder
17:54:27 <joe> I've got the latest 2.6.8 I'm sorry I don't know where I should be looking to troubleshoot

20:07:33 <jralls> joe: It's a bug in 2.6.8. Please use 2.6.7 until we release 2.6.9.
21:39:45 <joe> okay, thanks jralls

23:21:40 <Heinrich> How are most people using GnuCash? One DB/File per fiscal year? Or multiple years together? I have currently 8 years of data in the same DB. Not sure if there are any disadvantages.
