00:06:36 <chris> jralls: yes that would work, but we'd lose the 'anchor->register' and 'anchor->report' magic

00:09:20 <peanutbutterandcrackers> chris: wow. Thank you. So I have to look at the C source to figure out what it means!?
00:10:04 <peanutbutterandcrackers> chris, do you also happen to know if there is a way for me to export customers from gnucash (v.2.6.19) and then import it elsewhere (also in 2.6.19)) please?
00:12:22 <chris> you'll want to learn to read C to figure stuff out
00:12:26 <chris> dunno re customers
00:12:41 <chris> and perhaps learn to read scheme too :)
00:16:10 <peanutbutterandcrackers> chris, so much learning to do. so little time. Thank you anyways. But I really really need to be able to export customers.

03:57:23 *** nicoroumeau has joined #gnucash
03:57:47 <peanutbutterandcrackers> Does someone have any idea as to what the 'id' in Invoice(book, id, currency, owner) means? Is it the invoice id? From the GUI, I always trusted Gnucash to give me the invoice id, is there a way to do the same in my scripts too?
04:25:55 *** nicoroumeau has quit IRC
05:13:23 *** Aussie_matt has quit IRC
05:20:14 <peanutbutterandcrackers> Okay so I did find a method with the name NextID in >>> help(gnucash_business.Invoice) but the documentation isn't clear enough. Looking further.
05:21:54 *** nimish2711 has quit IRC
05:29:15 *** nimish2711 has joined #gnucash
05:54:01 *** Aussie_matt has joined #gnucash
06:15:07 <peanutbutterandcrackers> Anybody there please? I am out of my depths. And I want to complete my script today. Please help.
06:15:55 <peanutbutterandcrackers> How would I have gnucash automatically assign invoice number (ids) without me intervening? It sets invoice ids automatically from the GUI.
06:24:18 *** nicoroumeau has joined #gnucash
06:30:32 <mikee> Try: from gnucash.gnucash_core_c import gncInvoiceNextID
06:30:45 <mikee> gncInvoiceNextID(book, owner)
06:31:03 <mikee> It's been a while since I tested that though.
06:34:16 <peanutbutterandcrackers> mikee, Thank you. I did figure it out though. Yes, that is it. But I did it like so: I called the book.InvoiceNextID(customer) method
06:34:24 <peanutbutterandcrackers> mikee, Thank you nevertheless for your help :)
06:35:30 <peanutbutterandcrackers> mikee, However, the method's help text (in python) says this: InvoiceNextID(self, customer)
06:35:31 <peanutbutterandcrackers> | Return the next invoice ID.
06:35:31 <peanutbutterandcrackers> | This works but I'm not entirely happy with it. FIX ME
06:35:31 <peanutbutterandcrackers> |
06:35:40 <peanutbutterandcrackers> Do you think I should be worried? o.O
06:36:55 <mikee> OR: iID = gnucash.gnucash_core_c.gncInvoiceNextID(book.get_instance(),customer.GetEndOwner().get_instance()[1])
06:37:30 <mikee> peanutbutterandcrackers: book.InvoiceNextID(customer) is denitely better
06:38:07 <peanutbutterandcrackers> mikee, Thank you. What about the warning in the help text?
06:39:35 <mikee> I wrote that. I forget why now.
06:40:13 <peanutbutterandcrackers> mikee, Wow! You are one of the core developers! Super cool! Thank you for your hard work and dedication in making this amazing free software. People like you are the best!
06:40:26 <mikee> Since it works, perhaps I should remove the FIXME
06:40:45 <peanutbutterandcrackers> Yes, sir! It does seem to work. :)
06:40:54 <mikee> Well, not so much lately.
06:41:42 <peanutbutterandcrackers> Still, you played a part in getting gnucash up to this point. And we are very grateful to you. Thank you. Please do keep up the good work. (This is like meeting a celebrity. haha)
06:41:55 <mikee> lol
06:43:07 <peanutbutterandcrackers> :)
06:47:35 *** Jimraehl1 has joined #gnucash
06:47:53 *** Jimraehl1 has left #gnucash
06:50:57 * chris bows to mikee
06:51:13 <mikee> lol again
06:51:13 <chris> however I can't understand python anymore
06:51:55 <mikee> I'd forgotten all about adding InvoiceNextID(customer)
06:52:06 <chris> <peanutbutterandcrackers> I realize that I am asking to ask, which is against
06:52:06 <chris> the guidelines. So here's my question: How does gnucash GUI
06:52:06 <chris> automatically know what the next invoice number should be (it
06:52:06 <chris> increments it automatically)? And how can I use the same
06:52:09 <chris> internal function in my python-gnucash script? [17:08]
06:52:12 <chris> - I have no idea
06:53:43 <peanutbutterandcrackers> chris, Hey sorry I didn't want to SPAM the channel so I thought of DM-ing you. Yes, we did figure it out. By using the book.InvoiceNextID(customer) method. Thank you nevertheless
06:54:09 <mikee> 2012-04-04 seems such a long time ago
06:55:02 <peanutbutterandcrackers> However, I am stuck again. So I have created an invoice in the script, now I would like to process payment for it. I can see that there's an ApplyPayment() method on Invoices, but I'm not sure what arguments it takes
06:55:30 <peanutbutterandcrackers> chris, I'm sorry I couldn't figure out how to look it up on the docs either. I am unable to navigate up from the page you sent me this morning (which was very helpful)
06:55:50 <chris> you can glean some info by analyzing test-invoice.scm
06:55:59 <chris> it's in scheme but the order of parameters is similar to python
06:56:49 <peanutbutterandcrackers> chris, I beg your pardon but I believe the test-invoice.scm file will be in the main GNUcash repo?
06:57:43 <peanutbutterandcrackers> I can't seem to know where exactly it is
06:57:49 <peanutbutterandcrackers> *still looking*
07:00:58 <chris> ApplyPayment seems to be a shadow for gncOwnerApplyPayment so search that one instead
07:01:21 <chris> https://code.gnucash.org/docs/MAINT/group__Business.html
07:01:31 <mikee> I have some random invoice related stuff at https://github.com/EvansMike/pycash
07:02:10 <mikee> May be of use. Mostly half written and abadoned
07:02:35 <chris> mikee I'm gonna make a full HMRC-specific VAT report
07:03:11 <chris> but I'd like some sample txns especially these EC ones
07:04:16 <mikee> chris:
07:04:44 <mikee> I don't do VAT so I'm not sure I can help.
07:05:28 <chris> ok i'll work with maf then, and hopefully you'll create a python bridge :)

16:08:04 <Robert847> Hi. I have a strange problem with Release 2.6.19 in a Ubuntu 18.04 guest on Virtualbox. After several months of uneventful use, this morning Ubuntu started having issues communicating via SMB share with my NAS. I initailly needed to log in twice to the server before I could open the .gnucash data file residing there. Then something happened to cause GnuCash to fail to complete an automagical save. In attempting to do a manual
16:08:05 <Robert847> Gnucash could not follow the path that it was supposed to follow. I then tried a 'Save AS' and I could find the folder on the NAS with the correct file and lock file. I tapped the Save As button and noy it seems to be hung.
16:09:24 <Robert847> There is a very lengthy
16:09:46 <Robert847> import hanging in this unsaved file
16:12:58 <Robert847> The Cancel button does nothing. Is it possible to somehow abort the save as some other way without losing this import?
16:14:18 <Robert847> If I could save the file on the 'local' drive, I could use the file manager copy it to the NAS
16:20:51 *** nimish2711 has quit IRC
16:21:25 *** nimish2711 has joined #gnucash
16:24:31 <Robert847> I just found a warning that the file already exists hiding under the 'save as' dialog
16:26:30 <Robert847> I said yes and now Ubuntu says Gnucash is not responding
16:27:27 <Robert847> now it is responding. I think it has resumed working
16:28:30 <Robert847> the imported transactions appear to be present
16:34:46 <Robert847> However, I closed the program but it did not delete the lck file.
16:36:00 <Robert847> there is a new copy of the data file and a new backup so I will try open anyway
16:38:35 <Robert847> One of the other changes that I know happened is that I replaced a Cat 5 jumper from the laptop to the wall with a new Cat 6 jumper from WalMart
16:39:59 <Robert847> not sure if their definition of Cat 6 is the same as the rest of the world
16:41:43 *** nicoroumeau has joined #gnucash
16:41:44 <Robert847> I know some other products are not the same as sold in other stores, tho they seem to be labelled as the same
16:43:14 <warlord> A bad cable could certainly cause issues.

16:52:48 <Robert847> After opening the new file, it appears to have all the recent entries. Not sure about working with a somewhat unreliable system, tho
16:54:05 <Robert847> save and save again for now
