05:26:24 <erispre> Hello dear people! I installed GNUCash version 2.6.9 (commit r4241505+) on Windows 10 yesterday to work on a new project. After setting up my administration I tried to generate a few reports. However, when generating an income statement the app crashes with a Visual C++ Runtime Error. The Windows event logs indicate that the fault lies with libguile-17.dll. Has anyone come across this? TIA.

06:08:03 <ThomasKeller> When I set Account Color, and select "Preferences" -> "Accounts" -> "Show Account Color as Background"
06:08:30 <ThomasKeller> then the overview indeed shows my color, but only in one column (Account Name)
06:08:51 <ThomasKeller> the other columns are not colored (i.e. Total)
06:09:06 <ThomasKeller> any way to change that ?

08:27:29 <gour> i sent post to users list via gmane, but got msg it is held for approval. since when it's not possible to post to the list via gmane (without subscription)?
08:27:48 <gour> gamne page still says 'posting allowed'

09:30:09 <warlord> gour: all posting without subscription goes into the moderator queue
09:30:25 <warlord> That has always been the case.
09:31:37 <gour> warlord: i must be that i forgot...anyway did subscribe in the meantime
09:31:58 <gour> warlord: then it would be good to mention 'requires subscription to post' at gmane?
09:43:37 <warlord> we dont control gmane
09:43:42 <warlord> you should talk to them
09:43:52 <warlord> our policy is "must be subscribed to post without moderation"
09:44:14 <warlord> it doesn't matter to us how/where you post, but if you dont want to be moderated you must be subscribed at lists.gnucash.org
09:45:24 <warlord> erispre: can you please file a bug report with as much detail/information as you can?
09:49:34 <gour> warlord: ok, i'll try to submit the change
09:52:29 <warlord> Good luck. While you're at it also submit it to nabble and every other "collector" out there.

14:11:36 <CharlesIC> hello
14:11:53 <CharlesIC> i occasionally get amazon gift cards. what's the best way to track them in gnucash? create an equity account and an asset account for them?
14:12:04 <CharlesIC> because they have to be transferred somehow
14:12:32 <warlord> well, it depends how/why you get them
14:12:43 <CharlesIC> as gifts ;)
14:12:52 <warlord> Then... Income:Gifts
14:13:09 <CharlesIC> but i want to track my purchases with them, because what happened before is i bought some stuff with them and i didn't really reflect how much i paid for the items
14:13:13 <CharlesIC> because they were largely paid for with gift cards
14:13:22 <warlord> Right.
14:13:33 <warlord> so Income:Gifts -> Asset:Gift Cards
14:13:34 <CharlesIC> so still, income:gifts?
14:13:41 <CharlesIC> ok, so dont use equity?
14:13:42 <warlord> then A:GC -> Expense:<whatever>
14:13:46 <warlord> No, use Income
14:13:49 <CharlesIC> ok
14:14:54 <CharlesIC> thanks sir
14:15:30 <CharlesIC> is there a good rule of thumb for, say, purchases at a supermarket? i mean, maybe $10 is expense:food, but you may also buy toiletries, etc
14:15:34 <CharlesIC> or household items
14:15:41 *** mlncn_ has quit IRC
14:15:53 <warlord> It all depends on how much you care about the separation

14:41:36 <gour> warlord: are you maybe aware if mailing list moderator is here? my post did not go through, so don't know whether to re-send it (since now i'm subscribed) or to wait?
14:45:56 <warlord> gour: how long ago did you send it?
14:46:05 *** fabior has quit IRC
14:46:25 <warlord> Liz usually goes through the list at least once a day, but if you missed her then you might need to wait an extra day. She's probably asleep right now.
14:51:57 <gour> warlord: Wed, 14 Oct 2015 13:42:32 +0200 (UTC)
14:53:45 <warlord> Um, yeah. Go sleep on it.
14:54:01 <warlord> Dont resend; unless you cancel the existing one first.
14:54:02 *** kdub has joined #gnucash
15:03:16 <gour> ok
15:03:44 <gour> have you seen my problem description when i wrote it here?
15:04:55 <warlord> Most likely the transaction was created from an EUR account.. When you create a transaction it takes the currency of the account from which you actually create it.
15:06:11 <gour> how is it when both sides are defined or set as HRK which is visible in source file as well?
15:06:37 <warlord> gour: it all depends on how you created the transaction. How did you create that specific transaction?
15:07:13 <gour> warlord: i believe as any other one using normal register view. i never use anything else
15:08:06 <warlord> right, but *WHICH* register?
15:08:25 <gour> what do you mean?
15:08:55 <warlord> I think it's a simple, clear question. Which register did you use to create this transaction?
15:09:14 <gour> probably liability
15:09:25 <warlord> The General Ledger? A search result register? An account register? And if the last one -- which account?
15:09:48 <gour> account register, i suppose, liability
15:10:21 <warlord> again... WHICH ONE?
15:10:36 <warlord> Are you sure you didn't create it from a EUR-based account? Absolutely, 100% sure?
15:10:47 <gour> warlord: see the source: https://bpaste.net/show/fd8da935c239
15:11:07 <gour> Liability:Barhi
15:11:51 <gour> iow, GC tracks that account wit hHRK currency, but in transaction EUR is used?
15:12:23 <warlord> No... When you create a transaction gnucash copies the "current" register currency into the transaction as the txn currency.
15:12:49 <warlord> Did you use autocomplete?
15:13:18 <gour> interesting...so account can temporarily assume different currencies?
15:13:38 <warlord> No...
15:13:46 <gour> i don't think so...now i wonder how to fix it?
15:13:49 <warlord> But you could have created the transaction elsewhere
15:14:05 <warlord> Recreate the transaction by hand. Make sure it doesn't autocomplete
15:14:25 <gour> no, i use either Equity's or Liabilities's subaccount, nothing else
15:15:05 <gour> when you say recreate, do you mean to delete the current one and create new one or edit the current one?
15:15:56 <warlord> I'm sorry, gour, but that's just a stupid question. Please read what I write.
15:16:22 <gour> ok
15:17:51 * gour thought that GC could handle wrong things by re-editing...
15:18:22 <warlord> Not this
15:19:02 <warlord> Many things, yes..
15:19:30 <warlord> but not this.
15:20:19 <gour> ok.i got it now. thanks
15:31:12 <mikee> warlord: I am imagining that in a movie trailer. "Not this. Many things, yes. But not this." Cue scary music.
15:31:17 <warlord> gour: your email just hit the loist
15:31:35 <warlord> er, list (silly one-handed typing error)
15:31:42 <warlord> mikee: LOL
15:34:56 <gour> now it's fixed here...
15:47:00 <ThomasKeller> I know gnucash can track shares, and even get real time prices of those shares (using libfinance-quote-perl)
15:47:10 <ThomasKeller> but what if I trade in forex
15:47:12 <ThomasKeller> i.e. currency pairs
15:47:32 <ThomasKeller> lets say, in my trading account I have 10000 EUR/USD, which I bought at the price 1.15
15:47:45 <ThomasKeller> does gnucash understand currency pairs
15:47:51 <ThomasKeller> and can it get realitime market price ?
