02:00:04 <ordex> another question: I have crated an account and added some accounts/transactions, but I want to change the currency used for the "grand total". How do I do that? I changed the default currency for new accounts and the currency to be used in reports (in the preferences), but the grand total does not change
02:00:06 <ordex> any hint ?

12:25:17 <lmat> jralls: Your suggestion is what the mailing list landed on, too. (Though we'll *dr* Reimbursement and *cr* HSA, and later, *dr* checking and *cr* reimbursement.) Excellent suggestion!

12:32:20 <jralls> ordex: The Grand Total is in the root currency you set when you created the book. The only way to change it is to start over with a new book.
12:33:41 <jralls> ordex: As for the budget using only accounts with splits, that's a known limitation. Just create next month's rent transaction and you'll be able to add the account to your budget.

18:10:52 <ordex> jralls: thanks! Any recommended strategy to start a new book and copy over *everything* ? I tried by copying first accounts in CSV and then transactions, but something did not go very well and I had several unbalanced transactions
18:11:22 <ordex> jralls: about the currency: don't you think it could be changed by modifying the book with an hexeditor? assuming we know where the root currency is stored? or it is more complicated than that?
18:13:31 <jralls> ordex: If you're fluent in XML you can edit the XML file to change the root currency. Work with a copy, of course. Otherwise the CSV export/import is the only choice.
18:17:46 <jralls> ordex: Note as well that changing the root currency will affect more than just the summary bar. It will also change the transaction currency when you create a transaction in General Ledger/Journal registers including Find results and Scheduled Transactions.
18:18:05 <jralls> You *really* want it to be the currency you use most of the time.
18:25:32 *** oozer has quit IRC
18:25:55 <ordex> jralls: yeah, I already changed the default currency and report currency to what I want - it's just the grand total that is missing
18:26:06 <ordex> jralls: so you mean export the ledger as xml and edit that ?
18:27:39 <ordex> ah I see - /me is diving in the XML
18:29:00 <ordex> but basically I can both have the ledger in XML or in binary format? what is the difference? I geuss the XML is "slower" somehow?
18:29:04 *** oozer has joined #gnucash
18:29:33 <ordex> ah no, in XML I only had accounts, no transactions
18:29:36 <ordex> okok :)
18:32:56 <chris> binary = xml, gzipped

18:47:01 <ordex> chris: oh thanks !
18:47:11 <ordex> I can try to break that now :]
18:50:42 <ordex> oh it seems to have worked
18:50:45 <ordex> thanks! :)
18:55:01 <ordex> for the budget: I guess I have to follow jralls ' suggestion and create some stub transactions in the accounts I want to use
19:15:49 <jralls> ordex: They don't have to be stubs. You can just create the next expected transaction in each account with the appropriate date that you expect it to occur.
19:29:18 <ordex> jralls: I don't really have a plan yet - that is why I'd like to create budgets (more than one) and come up with options
19:56:14 <ordex> but..this may mean that I am not doing it properly (from an accounting perspective?)
