09:58:03 <lmat> @tell jralls as I'm working through changing the delimiter for kvp, I'm going through checking all the usages of KVP strings to make sure they're delimited properly (delimiters are hard-coded). Since I'm here, how bout I make kvp non-hierarchical; just a flat key-value pair store?
09:58:03 <gncbot> lmat: The operation succeeded.

12:54:04 <lmat> @tell jralls I guess that would have to be implemented in phases: the first phase would be able to read kvp trees, but write flat kvps.

13:46:35 <marusich> What is a good way in Gnucash to model the closure of a bank account? e.g., if I want to move funds from one bank to another and stop using the first bank's accounts entirely.
13:47:15 <lmat> marusich: Nothing special.
13:47:35 <marusich> Well, I presume that one would not delete the accounts from the Gnucash file. Right?
13:47:45 <lmat> marusich: I assume you made a withdrawal to remove the remaining funds from the bank account; enter that into your register.
13:47:48 <lmat> marusich: Right.
13:47:57 <lmat> marusich: Since it has transactions, you should leave it in your books.
13:48:37 <marusich> Right. But what's a good way to deal with the resulting "clutter"? I guess I could re-parent the accounts to a place in the account hierarchy that makes them less prominent.
13:49:37 <lmat> marusich: I don't know. I have clutter, but I suspect there's some way to hide an account.
13:49:47 <lmat> marusich: Someone else may come along and tell you how to deal with it :-)
13:49:47 <marusich> I could also create a new file, I suppose, but that seems like more effort. Are there any other ways to "declutter" now-unused accounts?
13:50:05 <marusich> I see. Well, thank you for the help!
13:50:08 <lmat> marusich: Creating a new file is (near-) universally discouraged :-)
13:51:10 <marusich> Yeah, I'm sure there are many ways to accomplish the task. I'm pretty new to this, though, so I welcome anyone's additional input.

14:17:55 <Cuare> i had to do the same thing to one of our accts

14:23:17 <lmat> marusich: There's "Hidden" ^
14:24:12 *** Groan has joined #gnucash
14:26:53 <Cuare> if you need to see it again go to View>Filter By>and its on the "Other" tab Show hidden accounts
14:27:20 <marusich> Oh, cool. Thanks for the tips!

17:37:44 <marusich> The GnuCash documentation is great! I've really enjoyed reading it. I have a question, though.
17:37:45 <marusich> I've noticed that the documentation does not give examples specifically of tracking unrealized capital gains for investments such as stocks. Am I mistaken for assuming that I would want to track that information?
17:38:08 <marusich> I'm looking here (Chapter 9: Investments): https://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?doc=guide
17:40:07 <marusich> If I really wanted to track that information, would it be appropriate to follow the same pattern as shown in Chapter 11: Capital Gains?

18:44:22 <lmat> marusich: Dunno, but others do ;-) In fact, this may be a better question for gnucash-user (mailing list).
18:51:24 <marusich> OK. Thank you for taking the time to respond!
