12:28:46 <chalmers> hello?
12:31:01 <chalmers> Don't mean to trouble anyone. I'm learning GnuCash to help manage the finances for my school's graduate exhibition.
12:31:20 <chalmers> I'm making my way through the manual now, and it mentioned the irc chat.
12:31:52 <lmat> chalmers: Welcome.
12:32:02 <lmat> chalmers: You're in high school then?
12:32:46 <chalmers> Actually post-secondary!
12:33:04 <lmat> chalmers: Good. Double entry accounting is a big bite for secondary!
12:33:21 <lmat> chalmers: Feel free to ask here if you have any questions technical or accounting. The mailing list is quite responsive, too.
12:33:37 <lmat> chalmers: In fact, the mailing list might be more responsive than this IRC channel sometimes ;-)
12:34:00 <lmat> chalmers: I use gnucash for personal finances (which includes some self employment).
12:36:47 <chalmers> Neat! And thanks for the prompt response! :D
12:37:10 <warlord> chalmers: you got lucky -- sometimes you can wait hours for a response, depending on date/time
12:38:55 <chalmers> Hmm already running into some bugs...
12:39:29 <chalmers> In trying to set a child account of the Expenses Account, the GnuCash kept prompting me to delete the parent Expenses account
12:39:36 *** Mechtilde has quit IRC
12:39:42 <chalmers> :S
12:40:21 <lmat> chalmers: hmm, sorry you're having that difficulty; what version and what operating system?
12:41:03 <chalmers> just made another child and no such problem. haha, oh well
12:41:25 <warlord> Umm, could you give more step-by-step on how you got that? Are you sure you clicked on "Add Account" and not "Delete Account"?
12:41:30 <chalmers> I'm running GnuCash 2.6.12 on Ubuntu 16.04
12:42:14 <chalmers> Yep, I clicked "Add Account", and while giving the Account name in the input box I was prompted to delete the parent with each keypress
12:44:21 <warlord> That's..... weird.
12:44:44 <warlord> I wonder if there was a focus problem and your keypresses were being interpretted as commands?
12:44:57 <warlord> There's nothing within the add-account dialog that would do that.
12:49:18 *** NestorZ has quit IRC
12:50:59 <chalmers> hey, I'm wondering if you have a recommended workflow for managing finances as team in GnuCash?
12:52:02 <chalmers> There are some other team members working on finance for the Graduate Exhibit. So I'm thinking of a way to keep the XML file in sync between the other members..
12:52:08 <warlord> I dont think there is a one-size-fits-all method.
12:52:14 <chalmers> (short of a shared git repository XD )
12:52:38 <warlord> gnucash is a one-user-at-a-time program, so you would need to share the data file in a git-like way.
12:52:47 <warlord> .. and ensure only one person is modifying it at a time.
12:54:17 <chalmers> noted... Thanks!

21:35:43 <arahael> Looks like my issues with the FinanceQuote Update tool is because my default perl is apparently brew's perl.
21:44:06 <arahael> Hmm, doesn't seem to matter - can't get it to work with Gnucash 2.7, and Mac OS X High Sierra.
21:48:11 <arahael> warlord: Might be better to suggest perforce, rather than git, unless it's easy to merge the data file.
21:48:28 <arahael> (perforce lets you lock a file for edit)
