03:23:36 <gncbot> gjanssens: Sent 8 hours and 6 minutes ago: <chris> your English is accurate IMHO
03:23:59 <gjanssens> chris: thanks. I have the change ready in my commit queue.
03:26:32 <gjanssens> And as a small bonus I have added code to expose C_(context, msg) to guile. That will allow to pass context to translatable messages.

04:31:46 *** Mechtilde has joined #gnucash
04:37:04 <fell> gjanssens, where do I find (C_ )?
04:37:43 <fell> I saw recently a few 1-letter strings, which in C have a context.#
05:11:39 *** Aussie_matt has quit IRC
05:41:26 <gjanssens> fell: I still have to push it to our main repo. I'll do so later today.

08:22:18 <sethmhur> I guess I could just use the transfer window instead of the ledger view for each account.

09:55:26 <chris> Here's a fun travis failure: https://pastebin.com/raw/VCJdJKdp
09:55:56 <chris> uTest-Transaction:1858 compares $today with xaccTransVoidTime
09:56:33 *** renanjmelo has joined #gnucash
10:01:27 <chris> failure means that gnc_time and voiding time differs by 1 second
10:03:15 <chris> in code, the two events are separated by a couple CPP instructions
10:05:54 <chris> so, very rarely the two times wouldn't be the same :)

11:56:40 <raftoral> Hi again!
11:56:40 <gncbot> raftoral: Sent 21 hours and 34 minutes ago: <warlord> Sorry, I had to step away. The TRIAL Balance is not balanced because you have transactions into and out of foreign currencies and you don't account properly for the gain/loss within your local currency. You need to modify those transactions and add gain/loss splits.
11:56:41 <gncbot> raftoral: Sent 21 hours and 33 minutes ago: <warlord> Another option is to turn on Trading Accounts. But that does a lot more than that, so I would backup your data before you do, just in case.
11:59:47 <raftoral> Thanks, warlord. I've already turn on Trading Accounts when I realized I needed to manage properly gain/loss in my local currency
12:02:01 <raftoral> In fact, I started from the beginning when I activated Trading Accounts, migrating all accounts to a new accounting file
12:04:29 <raftoral> And I could register some transactions from EUR to USD with the Trial Report balanced
12:05:49 <raftoral> And now I want to add more transactions and I always get an unbalanced report
12:06:42 <raftoral> I've done a lot of tries with the same result
12:06:44 *** geo has quit IRC
12:06:56 *** renanjmelo has quit IRC
12:08:10 *** renanjmelo has joined #gnucash
12:09:38 <raftoral> For instance, I registered a transaction in an account in USD for buying some shares where the account is in USD, as well. And I got an unbalanced report, again
12:12:11 <raftoral> Any clue where could be the problem?
12:12:33 <warlord> An unbalanced trial-balance means you didn't account for a gain/loss
12:19:15 <raftoral> OK, thanks. And how I could account that gain/loss?
12:20:49 <raftoral> Because, in that example, I am not exchanging currencies. All is in USD
12:23:22 *** renanjmelo has quit IRC
12:23:22 *** keiffer has joined #gnucash
12:24:18 <raftoral> The account type where I got the USD is a currency type. So, I tried to use the lots feature for calculating gains/losses with no result

16:27:12 <gjanssens> fell: I have pushed the commit exposing the (C_ context msg) function to guile and applied it to a few single letter messageids I came across so far. Likely there are more still. I'm not done with the translations yet.

19:43:23 <n1> Hello. I am going through the gnucash-docs tutorial, basics chapter. Under Data Entry Concepts -> Transactions a chapter link fails to display
19:43:37 <n1> https://i.imgur.com/CPHUrpt.png
19:44:38 <n1> It is supposed to link to chapter_txns. This is in Arch linux, gnucash and gnucash-docs installed with pacman
19:45:41 <n1> (in the screenshot, look at the end of the second line. Chapter link missing before " goes")
19:46:44 <jralls> nl That would seem to be an Arch Linux problem. The link works in the current online version at https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-guide/basics-entry1.html
19:47:55 *** Aussie_matt has joined #gnucash
19:49:52 <n1> Ok jralls. It's a minor problem and all other links in the docs seem to work fine.
19:59:00 <n1> Thank you to the documentation team for your work
