01:37:04 *** gr8kodr has joined #gnucash
01:38:20 <gr8kodr> is there any way to get GNUcash to accept datetime entries instead of just dates?
01:40:28 <gr8kodr> the reason I ask, is that time comes into play when using the price editor, but I can't set the time for the price

03:43:04 <wolf> warlord, I got ping and ssh replies from the box now, but the webserver doesn't seem to be up on it.
03:44:30 <wolf> Gonna email linas saying the same
03:48:16 <wolf> Well, local pings, not from the 67..17 IP.

12:07:22 <jralls> gr8kodr: To amplify about prices and times, from 2.6.12 on GnuCash retains only one price per day. Time is not important in any of GnuCash's uses of the price database.
12:09:02 <jralls> gr8kodr: Remember that prices in individual transactions are calculated on the fly from the amount and value without reference to the price database so the fact that your broker split up a trade into several with different prices will be preserved.

12:36:34 <the|Navi> Hi, all. Is it the case that split transactions always round to the number of tenths in the least permissive account? I've got a transaction which involves a split over multiple accounts where there are hundredths of a penny between two accounts denominated as such, and a round number of pennies to an account that is only permitted pennies.
12:37:48 <the|Navi> (ex. A B in pennies, C D in hundredths, split of A + 10.00, B - 5.00, C + 1.0582, D - 6.0582)
12:38:50 <the|Navi> What I'm seeing is that, even if I enter the transaction from one of the hundredths-of-a-penny ledgers, it rounds to the nearest penny when I unfocus the cell.
12:44:38 *** kael has joined #gnucash
12:44:45 <the|Navi> Actually, I can tell that this is not the case, because attempting a transaction between two GBP denominated accounts with their smallest fractions set at 1/10000 still won't let me fill in anything with a smaller granularity than a penny.
12:45:05 <jralls> I think that it rounds to the smallest fraction for the commodity, ignoring the fraction on the account. If you do a similar transaction with only c & D does it still round?
12:46:37 <the|Navi> Yes. The ledger shows two extra decimal places in each field but doesn't actually let me use them.
12:47:02 <the|Navi> I suspect you're correct - somewhere in the code GBP is defined as having a maximum of two decimal places which I may not override.
12:47:51 <the|Navi> I suspect I misunderstood the purpose of "Smallest Fraction".
12:54:48 <jralls> You understood correctly, it's a bug. Either the property in Account should go away or the code should use it instead of querying the commodity. It's not just "someplace in the code", it's pretty much everywhere in the code.
13:09:43 <the|Navi> jralls: In this case it's relatively fine for me. It's just the fact that one of my accounts, particularly its interest, is measurable in hundredths of pennies but can only disburse full pennies out to me. I'll just round down each time because the remainder of the penny is completely theoretical.
13:10:27 <jralls> OK.
13:11:27 <jralls> I think that's generally the case so if I were to do something about it it would be to remove the field from Account along with the control in the Account Editor.
13:13:30 <the|Navi> I mean, the only other workaround for someone who super-cared would be to make a new currency and fix it to have a 1:100 exchange rate with their local currency and deal in that, and have their Grand Total calculations just deal with that exchange rate, I guess.
13:13:38 <the|Navi> Their own security, I should say.

13:56:49 <codesmythe> jralls: Have you run into this: automake 1.15 changes the 'make distcheck' working directory from _build to _build/sub, which causes our 'make check' in po to fail (and thus distcheck fails). (Ref: https://autotools.io/forwardporting/automake.html, scroll to the bottom).

23:49:27 <gr8kodr> Thanks jralls but what happens in the case where I have a small USD balance from an earlier transaction and I spend more than that balance, effectively giving me a new buy at the higher rate before selling at the same higher rate? I'm trying to understand the Lots window a little better, hence the questions
23:52:51 <gr8kodr> Use Case: I had $0.52 USD but I spent $5.00 USD, effectively buying 4.48 USD to complete the transaction, when I scrub the Lots, I wound up with a negative balance rather than a zero balance, and I'm trying to see where I went wrong
23:54:28 <gr8kodr> heh heh, rather than insisting on debugging the software, I'm attempting to debug the Operator this time
