09:12:39 <chris> @tell warlord so this one better? https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1975870/60812797-d7823a80-a181-11e9-8cc2-b2f1e53145d1.png
09:12:39 <gncbot> chris: The operation succeeded.
09:13:48 <chris> jralls/gjanssens I don't really have a preferences for book-properties dialog. my work was really focussed towards eliminating live scheme eval. The options being saved into kvp was the most accessible solution I could find.
09:14:16 <chris> *in addition to saving somewhere in book rather than saved-reports-2.8.

09:24:42 <chris> hi warlord
09:35:06 <warlord> Hello chris
09:35:06 <gncbot> warlord: Sent 22 minutes ago: <chris> so this one better? https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1975870/60812797-d7823a80-a181-11e9-8cc2-b2f1e53145d1.png
09:36:42 <warlord> No, I find that much more complicated to read.
09:37:20 <warlord> There's just too much information, and IMHO information that isn't required.
09:37:40 <chris> https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1975870/60770642-caefda80-a0cc-11e9-969c-526c9ca39330.png is the previous iteration then
09:37:43 <warlord> You could get rid of the last three columns with a simple "Paid" Y/N column.
09:38:20 <warlord> Don't like that one, either. Again, too much information which IMHO doesn't need to be in there.
09:39:04 <chris> The use case is really for bug 771563
09:41:40 <warlord> The way I would solve it is by going back to the original report and in the payment rows add invoice #s to the payment lines.
09:43:33 <warlord> I'll note that Invoice reports show payment information. But Geert's comment from 2016-09-19 still applies, IMHO.
09:43:46 <warlord> Gotta run -- back in about 30-45 minutes.
09:44:11 <chris> so, invoice rows get: "Paid" "Outstanding: $2.50" whereas payment rows get "Inv-01 Inv-03 Inv-07"
09:45:50 <warlord> chris, I wouldn't even add the "outstanding" amount. Paid is "yes" is outstanding is 0. "no" otherwise.
09:46:11 <warlord> If they want more information about a particular invoice then look at the INvoice Report (which should, IMHO, default to "show payments")

09:53:44 <gjanssens> "My comment from 2016-09-19" ?
09:56:25 <chris> gjanssens I think this about payments to invoices can be mangled manually
09:57:15 <gjanssens> Still fuzzy, but I'm about to leave so it will be for later...
09:57:38 <chris> ok i'll tone down the 771563 commit :)

10:16:35 <chris> warlord: the reason I was keen to add all these metadata is the reason I chose GnuCash in the first place... extensive crossreferencing is possible via links (or Jump). but I agree my view is not necessarily shared by everyone :P
10:17:43 <warlord> Maybe make those columns optional with the default being off?
10:18:45 <warlord> That latest one is certainly more reasonable, IMHO. I still think, maybe, made that column default off? ;)
10:18:49 <chris> oh of course all would be optional
10:18:58 * chris never imposes -- gives choices
10:19:18 * chris imposes on code quality :)
10:19:31 <warlord> LOL. that's fair.

14:57:46 <quitte> Hi. A few days ago I came here because of the non-working localisation on MacOS. Yesterday I noticed an updated .dmg and wanted to say thanks in case that was related.
14:57:59 <quitte> It didn't fix the problem, though.
15:02:01 <quitte> Another thing that seems weird: I don't get a list of customers without first putting in a search term. Judging by screenshots that's not as it should be?
15:04:39 <warlord> quitte, can't answer the MacOS issue, but the latter is correct -- you need to actually enter something for customer lists to show up.
15:05:06 <quitte> why?
15:05:31 *** kael has joined #gnucash
15:05:31 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v kael
15:05:50 <quitte> oh well at least it's not broken - still silly when getting started and the only customer is "testcustomer"
15:08:34 <warlord> Because that's how it works.
15:10:59 <quitte> The job selection dialogue looks like it is essentially the same. But it does start with a list without having to enter a search term first.
15:12:26 *** kael has quit IRC
15:14:07 *** jerryq has joined #gnucash
15:24:02 <warlord> quitte, because with a job you've already limited yourself to a customer.

21:47:50 <TuftsOfWisps> hey
21:47:55 <TuftsOfWisps> sorry, that was a test
21:48:20 <TuftsOfWisps> I wanted to ask a more general question
21:48:38 <TuftsOfWisps> I right now attend a high level high school where I major in business
21:49:39 <TuftsOfWisps> Are there statistics of firms or workplaces that use GnuCash on a daily basis?
21:50:28 <TuftsOfWisps> I right now use Crunched.io for the small businesses I do the accounting work for
21:50:57 <TuftsOfWisps> I think GnuCash is really interesting and haven't fully delved into it yet but I wanted to come toss up a question on the IRC
21:55:39 *** bertbob has quit IRC
22:09:51 *** oozer has quit IRC
22:11:32 <warlord> TuftsOfWisps, there are definitely companies that use it. But we don't really have any statistics.
22:17:24 <TuftsOfWisps> Thanks!
22:17:52 <TuftsOfWisps> As another question, I run debian and the regular package of GnuCash comes in version 2.6
22:18:27 <TuftsOfWisps> Is it really important that I update to version 3.6 or not? Would the data also be able to migrate or would I lose certain things?
