05:18:01 <vuamw> hi, I'm trying to make forecasts for my business. I'd like to add a scheduled transaction for taxes. I see I can user formulas written in scheme, which is cool, but is it possible to feed as an argument the current balance/something like that?

07:46:23 <chris> gjanssens: I'm reading through window-autoclear.c - nice algorithm. it can be made more efficient with g_list_prepend instead of g_list_append. Still, it fails if there are >20 uncleared splits: takes far too long.
07:48:19 <chris> over the years I've only discovered it now

08:33:36 <kitobar> Greetings, first time to the channel. Unable to load a custome report. Followed the steps at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports. Any well known gotchas on Windows when creating a new config-user.scm and adding a new report?
08:38:58 <warlord> kitobar, what error(s) are given? Check your Tracefile
08:40:17 <warlord> vuamw, sorry, no, there is no current-balance function. It's an oft-requested feature.

09:14:55 <kitobar> warlord, got it. Thanks for the tip. Was failing due to unrecognized menu name. gnc:menuname-utility
09:17:52 <kitobar> By the way, in gnucash.cpp load_user_config( ) : why is the is_user_config_loaded flag set to TRUE before the routine actually executes the code to load the files?
09:38:39 <gjanssens> kitobar: the variable name is poorly chosen. The function of loading a user config file is meant to be run only once. That variable only serves to indicate the function was called once.
09:39:24 <gjanssens> Whether that's set at the beginning or the end of the function is not really relevant as there are no further branches in the function that could affect the value of the variable.
09:40:06 <gjanssens> chris: I don't think I've ever really studied window-autoclear.c :)

15:18:15 *** Sarah has joined #gnucash
15:26:07 *** kitobar has joined #gnucash
15:27:24 <Sarah> I'm trying to figure out why Gnucash isn't displaying the value of my mutual funds using the most recent prices fetched online. It's only an issue for funds that are fetched in a foreign currency, even though I'm also fetching the conversion rate. In these cases it is using the price from the last transaction entered in local currency. What am I missing?
15:30:48 <m3b> ello, warlord you round bud?
15:41:05 *** jervin has joined #gnucash

15:50:04 <m3b> hi
15:50:06 <m3b> welcome
15:50:16 <jralls> m3b, warlord is in Atlanta.
15:50:41 *** sbluhm has quit IRC
15:51:14 <m3b> ah,
15:51:36 <m3b> wyoming so 2/hour's different... got a much more simpler question ;)
15:53:04 <jralls> Sarah, if GnuCash can find a direct price it will prefer that to one that requires a second exchange rate.
15:54:07 <jralls> The simplest fix would be to convert the purchase price into the currency the funds are priced in. You needn't change the buy transaction, just edit the price.

15:55:05 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o fell_laptop
15:55:06 *** fell has quit IRC
15:55:09 *** fell_laptop is now known as fell
15:55:13 <jralls> Sarah, Also make sure that all foreign-currency securities are parented by an Asset account in that currency. That's how GnuCash knows what currency the prices are supposed to be in.
15:56:21 <jralls> m3b, a lot of us are logged in to the channel continuously even if we're afk, and we're all pretty bad at changing our nicks to indicate being afk.
15:56:53 *** gjanssens has quit IRC
15:57:22 <Sarah> My transactions are in CAD, but some of the funds are only quoted in US. So if I create a parent asset account for the US funds can the transactions still be correctly recorded in CAD?
15:58:00 <m3b> yup either leave your clients up; a screen'd shell, or uhh forget the name it's like a old egg bot but it's named something else i can't member
15:59:25 <jralls> Sarah, you and CDB-Man_ should talk. He's in the same boat.
15:59:39 <m3b> my question; i thought i was going to have to edit the main invoice file; which warlord helped me track down; i got the image i want placed "just using a 8.5" x 11" image with the logo in the top left; now i'm wondering about locking the invoice header information. meaning logo on the left; then locking in the choices of what data is listed on the right colum
16:00:23 <jralls> Sarah, also see https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797796 which is an excrutiatingly long discussion about how to correctly handle that.
16:00:45 <m3b> i'll post a screen shot to what i'm saying to imgru here in a few minutes
16:01:05 <jralls> m3b, good
16:01:19 <jralls> 'cause I'm not sure I understand what you mean by lock.
16:01:19 *** kitobar has quit IRC
16:06:12 <m3b> this is what i want https://i.imgur.com/ENXjdSX.jpg
16:07:26 <m3b> when i jusst print it this is what i get https://i.imgur.com/Qj3PxLO.jpg
16:08:19 <jralls> IIUC the "info on the right' means your company name, address, etc. That's all set in the business info of File>Properties.
16:09:36 *** kitobar has joined #gnucash
16:10:01 <jralls> Oh, responded too fast. So I guess what you have in business info is showing up on the left and the stuff on the right is part of the logo or maybe set in the style sheet.
16:10:11 <m3b> yes, if i remove those in the properties section; all other documents will need the same logo setup
16:10:14 <m3b> i'll try one sec
16:13:33 <m3b> is company info was removed from properties and this is the result
16:13:34 <m3b> https://i.imgur.com/9TbNHdF.jpg
16:13:37 <m3b> hrmm....
16:14:25 <jralls> So where's that stuff about G&G Mechanic Shop coming from?
16:14:42 <jralls> Is that the client?
16:15:00 <m3b> yup
16:15:39 <m3b> i'm not smart; i'm lucky i know bout puters quite a bit...
16:15:55 <jralls> So you probably do want that, you just need to make some more room in the stylesheet for the logo.
16:17:09 <m3b> i wanted to place the logo w/ addie; so warlord gave me the dir path to the file; i looked through and it says it auto generates each time; so i decided to put the logo in the background that repeats but i set a 8.5X11' image that took care of that; but now i can't seem to lock in the header choices
16:18:14 <m3b> this is what i don't want https://i.imgur.com/BohFfzT.jpg
16:19:24 <jralls> Have you tried messing with the stylesheets in Edit>Stylesheets?
16:19:46 <m3b> and this is what i want https://i.imgur.com/BohFfzT.jpg
16:19:54 <m3b> yes, but i have to switch it each time
16:19:55 <m3b> https://i.imgur.com/CBzVwOD.jpg
16:20:23 <m3b> i read that one might be able, *i've tried* to change the default style sheet; by renaming it and saving it over
16:21:07 *** Mechtilde has quit IRC
16:24:05 <m3b> reading https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-help/busnss-ar-invoices1.html
16:25:12 <jralls> But the dialog in BohFfzt.jpg says you're using the Easy stylesheet. Editing the Default one won't change anything if you don't use it in the report.
16:27:12 <jralls> Another thought, since you're a web designer: The export button will write out the html to a file of your choice so you can examine it, in particular for style classes and ids. With that you can fiddle the CSS with either the CSS stylesheet or the entry at the bottom of the layout page on the invoice options dialog.
16:28:23 <jralls> Unfortunately the documentation trails the development, sometimes by many years.
16:29:27 <m3b> oh ya, but you can't beat opensource
16:33:51 <m3b> k, i changed the default; it shows the css information so i copied that... one sec

16:41:53 <m3b> hrmm in the reports menu; it gives the printable invoice / fancy and so on... i just cant or it won't let me save it. it launches a window with the name of the layout and fancy and two other invoices...
16:43:13 *** sbluhm has quit IRC
16:45:45 <jralls> Um, perhaps you misunderstood me. Stay with the Printable Invoice. In its options on the General tab is a dropdown labelled stylesheet with which you can select a stylesheet to apply to the report.
16:46:39 <jralls> The next-to-last image you posted showed the options dialog open on the General tab and the Easy stylesheet selected.
16:46:56 <jralls> BIAB.
16:47:15 <m3b> ok
16:47:34 <m3b> thankie i will try 2-5min; i'm a aspie doesn't excuse being dumb
16:47:35 <m3b> ;)

19:27:38 <chris> m3b: the invoice has custom CSS to assist positioning your elements. you'll need to experiment to find your ideal layout.

21:14:53 <chris> jralls: e13b58646cbb86cf3ac45605e2c474bc4120e5de is confusing - it uses g_str_hash on d1 which is a double
21:15:06 <chris> (doesn't break functionality though)
21:16:55 <chris> (would like a reminder how to dump PINFO messages on this particular file only)
21:18:46 <chris> (also this knapsack algorithm does a lot of early 'return;' without g_freeing lists)
21:18:56 <warlord> jralls, I will take a look, but probably not for a couple days. I'm working on unpacking my office so right now I'm surrounded by a sea of boxes and papers that need to be emptied and filed away.
21:19:19 <chris> warlord: you're always on the move :)
21:19:27 <jralls> chris, you can't get that one file, its log domain is gnc.gui. So you can say --log gnc.gui=info and that will dump infos for all of the files that use that log module, which is a lot.
21:19:44 <warlord> m3b, sorry, I was offline. I am ostensibly in US/ET, but I've been AFK in order to work on unpacking.
21:20:22 <jralls> warlord, it's been months so no rush. I just mentioned it because you told a user that we don't have that capability.
21:20:22 <chris> jralls: re: logging - that's ok -- i've coped by s/PINFO/printf
21:21:43 <jralls> chris, for quick debugging that's often easiest.
21:23:41 <jralls> Unfortunately I don't remember why I changed the hash type.
21:23:55 <warlord> Well, currently we don't ;)
21:24:31 <warlord> Anyways, I need to go away again. filed away the paperwork I wanted to do today; tons more to do tomorrow.
21:24:53 <fell> I just saw in old announcements links to https://www.gnucash.org/pub/gnucash/, but that doesn't exist, but I found them at https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/files/OldFiles/
21:24:55 <jralls> And I'm called to dinner.
21:25:24 *** jervin has quit IRC
21:25:29 <fell> Should we somehow redirect?
21:26:03 <chris> jralls: g_str_hash was for old glib. OP was using g_str_hash(gnc_numeric_to_string(...)) which was more correct. funny the functionality is still ok.
