06:41:02 <roxart> hi all
06:41:18 <roxart> fell: also ich habe jetzt das gesamte ding neu aufgesetzt und die euro buchungen reingeladen
06:41:28 <roxart> kontotransaktionen per stichtag mit entsprechendem kurs
06:42:00 <roxart> euro erlöse und aufwände testmässig doch nochmals auf euro erlös und aufwandskonten gebucht (da ich da sonst für jeden punkt den tageskurs nachschauen müsste)
06:42:15 <roxart> und jetzt hat es keine differenzen mehr bei bilanz und ergebnisrechnung
06:42:49 <roxart> und die bilanz zeigt immer zwar noch den punkt gewinne devisenhandel an (kriegt man das irgendwie weg!?) aber ist immer 0
06:44:14 *** lmat has quit IRC
06:45:12 <chris> gjanssens: I don't suppose you have any particular views regarding harmonising report->html and report->export
06:46:24 <chris> gjanssens: the issue is in report->export, guile code is reponsible for file IO, and this can be moved to C
06:46:39 *** lmat has joined #gnucash
06:47:00 <chris> more precisely, the issue is: moving code to C means any custom-report with export code will also do file IO, and this may not be desirable.
06:47:51 <chris> so, worst case scenario: user has custom-report with export file IO; loads onto current code, runs export-code, which means exported-file is written TWICE - first by guile, second by C
06:48:13 <chris> (I suppose we can handle this possibility)
06:51:32 *** Mechtilde has quit IRC
06:53:30 *** sbluhm has joined #gnucash
06:56:56 <gjanssens> chris: no particular views other than it sounds like a good idea to have only one common code base to generate output and separate output generation from file io.
06:57:56 <chris> I think I'll augment html-document to receive an export-string object.
06:58:10 <chris> and I think I can also handle backward compatibility with custom reports.

07:51:15 *** sbluhm has quit IRC
07:59:16 <gjanssens> chris: instead of an export-string object, I think it makes more sense to have an output-format object (html, txf, csv,...)

08:38:05 *** lmat has joined #gnucash
08:44:18 <chris> gjanssens: it's already kinda like this - gnc:html-document record has fields - title, objects (the whole html tree), and I'm adding export-string

11:16:28 <chris> export-string would be a field in the gnc:html-document object. by default is "".
11:16:49 <chris> it can be populated during report generation, to contain the whole TXF/CSV.
11:17:05 <chris> C code can then query it to store in file.

11:25:15 *** waeking has quit IRC
11:25:15 *** waeking2 is now known as waeking
11:39:35 <gjanssens> chris: ok. So what if a report at some will support more than one "export" format ?
11:40:04 <chris> then calling renderer with different export-type will fill export-string with another string
11:40:08 <gjanssens> *at some point...
11:41:51 <gjanssens> Does that mean the report is potentially rendered more than once ?
11:41:53 *** guak has joined #gnucash
11:42:00 <chris> gjanssens: it already does
11:42:12 <gjanssens> Including querying the data more than once ?
11:42:16 <chris> yes
11:42:20 <gjanssens> Uhg
11:43:01 <gjanssens> Though that probably flows from the arcane design, not necessarily your amendments
11:43:22 <chris> sure
11:43:41 <chris> there's a report cache somewhere but not very well done
11:45:20 <chris> gtg
11:45:39 <gjanssens> Looking at it from the distance I'm currently at, an improved design would query the necessary data once based on report options and stores all report data in an intermediate format (typically something like xml). Then from that intermediate format it can be transformed into the output format as requested by the user
11:45:47 <gjanssens> using things like xslt
11:46:09 <gjanssens> That's the separation of structure and presentation I'm hoping for in the long run.
11:46:31 <gjanssens> (If my opinion matters at all considering my reduced involvement :)

12:38:24 <hannes> Hi, does gnucash support cost centres?
12:42:27 *** sbluhm has quit IRC
12:43:06 <mib_0lml67> I access gnucash via the program, but I've noticed lots of gnucash files under "documents". Not sure what they are, but when I click on one it says "gnucash could not obtain the lock". What lock? What are these files? Do I need them? Forgive me, but I am nearly computer-illiterate, and searches come up with verbiage I don't understand.
12:44:10 *** sbluhm has joined #gnucash
12:44:10 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v sbluhm
12:48:40 <hannes> The reason why I ask if gnucash supports cost-centres is because I want to use gnucash to do the bookkeeping for a farm which is seperated into two parts as it is running two different businesses. And in the end I have to do the reporting for each of them seperatly.

13:10:27 *** jervin has quit IRC
13:11:10 <jralls> hannes: No.
13:14:18 <jralls> hannes: The best way to handle that in GnuCash is to keep three sets of books: One for each of the businesses and then an overall set for the whole enterprise. That has the downside of requiring extra work rolling up the books of the two businesses and posting those roll-ups to the enterprise books.

If you haven't yet saved your work it will ask if you want to do so first; if you don't then your work since the last save will be discarded.

21:24:20 <Squillis> i'm limping my way through a migration off quicken. does anyone know if there's support for capital one credit card transaction downloads?
21:25:08 <Squillis> i was using my quicken ofx logs to setup another account, and i finally got that one working, but it looks like quicken calls home for capitalone

22:30:39 <Squillis> i mean, i download transactions in quicken. so, i know they support it
22:30:54 <Squillis> but do they not expose their endpoint to the public?
22:31:35 <fell> In the table is also CapitalOne (Banking)
