09:31:41 <sbluhm> I am slowly trying to take on the item "Database and QOF" on the roadmap (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Roadmap). Can you please give me a pointer where to start (which files to look at)?
09:31:41 <gncbot> sbluhm: Sent 1 week, 0 days, 14 hours, and 17 minutes ago: <jralls> GnuCash only knows how to pull transactions for the currently focused register. I don't know what you mean by transaction assignment view, GnuCash doesn't have anything called transaction assignment.
09:32:13 <sbluhm> I probably have to get into QofQuery first, so small steps at a time. but any headstart/direction would speed it up for me
09:40:49 *** fell_laptop is now known as fell
09:50:54 *** sbluhm has quit IRC
09:51:49 <fell> sblum, that is big challenge. I fear as a 1 person project it would lead to dead code like register2.

11:49:21 <jralls> @tell sbluhm if you're going to use IRC you need to stick around for more than 20 minutes after asking a question and more often than once a week. If that's not feasible for you use the gnucash-devel mailing list.
11:49:21 <gncbot> jralls: The operation succeeded.
11:59:01 <jralls> @tell sbluhm Beyond that you're looking to undertake a project that requires completely rewriting several core components and yet your knowledge of the codebase is so limited that you need to ask where to start. That's not how to begin a successful project.

12:19:24 <fell> jralls: you saw my PR on your PR?

12:20:07 <gncbot> fell: Sent 2 hours and 27 minutes ago: <fell> That is big challenge. I fear as a 1 person project it would lead to dead code like register2.
12:20:49 <jralls> fell, Yes. I'm working on figuring out why the transaction listview is wider than the business one. The latter fits in the dialog without the scrollbar.
12:23:26 <sbluhm> jralls: if you don't start, you don't move. Asking where to start is exactly how to begin a successful project!
12:23:44 <sbluhm> fell: no chance to slice this topic into relevant/useful slices?
12:23:54 <fell> oh, perhaps an attribute is set different.
12:24:51 <jralls> sbluhm, In you case the way to begin this project is to spend a couple of years (yes, *years*) working on GnuCash so that you understand how the parts interact.
12:26:06 <jralls> GnuCash has well over a million LOC and it's badly interdependent. You can't work on any one piece of it in isolation.
12:26:45 <warlord> There are a few areas that are mostly independent.
12:26:53 <warlord> But those are the extremitied.
12:26:57 <warlord> extremities.
12:28:38 <jralls> Only the fundamental classes in core-utils and engine are independent of everything else, but everything else depends on them.
12:33:15 *** Joc has quit IRC
12:41:29 <sbluhm> ok, understood
12:45:56 *** sbluhm has quit IRC
12:56:31 <jralls> fell, am I looking at the wrong dialog for width? You said to look at 450 and that you needed 600, but 450 is for the relative link path dialog. The linked-doc window, the one that the other comments were about, doesn't have a default width.
12:58:00 *** geo has quit IRC
13:02:20 *** sbluhm has joined #gnucash
13:02:20 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v sbluhm
13:06:32 <fell> jralls, the 600 were suggested by glade 3.36.0, when I first changed the text there.
13:08:18 *** suukim has joined #gnucash
13:08:56 <jralls> fell, the question is *where* is "there", i.e. which window/dialog are you referring to?
13:09:34 <fell> gnucash/gtkbuilder/dialog-doclink.glade
13:10:29 <jralls> Yes, that contains two GtkDialogs and a GtkWindow. Which one?
13:11:32 <fell> linked_doc_window
13:12:34 <jralls> OK, that's what I was working on. It doesn't have a default_width property and adding one didn't seem to change anything.
13:12:58 *** suukim has quit IRC
13:18:42 <fell> There are several warnings in scrolledwindow e.g. using 3.16 property in a 3.10 project.
13:22:35 *** sbluhm has quit IRC
13:23:46 <jralls> I don't see those when running.
13:24:51 <fell> line 4: <requires lib="gtk+" version="3.10"/
13:25:29 *** sbluhm has joined #gnucash
13:29:44 <fell> running in glade or gnucash?
13:29:58 <jralls> GnuCash of course.
13:31:21 *** Mechtilde has joined #gnucash
13:33:28 <jralls> We can change all of the glade headers to specify 3.22.30, that's the current minimum in CMakeLists.txt.
13:35:11 <fell> We should indeed, but we will probably run in obsolete prperties and should fix them then.
13:35:28 <jralls> Yes indeed.
13:36:42 <fell> That is usually BobIT's job. ;-)
13:38:24 <fell> And yes, the default_width is set in linked_doc_dialog.
13:39:27 <fell> and link_path_head_changed_dialog
13:39:30 <jralls> linked_doc_window != linked_doc_dialog.
13:41:55 <jralls> This may be a gtk bug wherein the GtkTreeView is getting to large an initial allocation. Resizing the window 1px will shrink the Linked Document column so that it fits without turning on the scrollbar.

13:57:05 *** FH_thecat has quit IRC
13:57:14 <jralls> OK, figured out why the default_width prop wasn't working: It was getting overridden by the stored dimensions in the state file. But commenting out that line and setting the default to 900 the listview is still set up too wide so that the horizontal scrollbar turns on.

14:23:56 <jralls> fell, figured it out. One must leave the expand column unset until after the window is realized.

23:25:21 <rjwiii> Hello ... doing a custom check printing setup. I see the SPLITS_ACCOUNT field that is used on the stub of the check as the "Category". There's also a spot for "Account" on the stub and I'd like to print the source account. Is there a field for that?
23:25:47 <rjwiii> Ubuntu 20.04.1. GnuCash version 3.8
