06:39:58 <tdres> Hi, I am using gnucash 4.2-1 on Linux. Is it possible to have a recurring transaction on a per-year basis? I could only find the options for monthly and shorter periods.
06:46:06 <tdres> The scheduled transaction window shows only options up to "monthly" as a frequency.
07:05:56 <chris> tdres: use every 12 months
07:15:17 *** PowaBanga has quit IRC
07:15:18 <tdres> chris: Thanks for the hint. What confuses me is, that when I create a new scheduled transaction via the editor, I only get the options up to "monthly". But when I select an entry and choose to schedule it, I also get quarter-yearly and yearly as an option.
07:16:19 <tdres> And when I look at the entry in the editor again, that uses the monthly option set to "every 12 months"
07:18:29 <chris> it means the transaction->scheduler has more options than the schedule editor, net effect is the same
07:18:47 <chris> a very minor usability bug
07:18:57 <chris> feel free to file in bugs.gnucash.org
07:20:53 <tdres> Yes sure. That was something I just noticed that the dialog from the context menu has more options than the "real" thing. Thanks for your clarification!
07:21:19 <chris> You're welcome!

09:50:20 <chris> CDB: my (small) concern about pricedb is similar to lots - it is user modifiable therefore not reliable. IMV transactional data is the only "true" truth :-/
09:50:46 <chris> e.g. have two different STOCK buys on the same day, but with different prices. the newer txn will overwrite pricedb.
09:51:28 <chris> if users & devs are happy to carefully curate lots & pricedb then I agree I'm being silly
09:53:06 <CDB-PHONE> the way I see it, the purpose of price db is Mark to market valuation
09:53:20 <CDB-PHONE> this is not something served by transactions
09:57:14 <chris> CDB: ok.
10:05:05 <chris> in any case jralls will probably agree gnc-pricedb is written in the most obtuse way possible, and very resistant to modifications
10:10:05 *** CDB-PHONE_ has joined #gnucash
10:10:55 <CDB-PHONE_> I wouldn't be surprised!
10:11:24 <CDB-PHONE_> I understand your desire to automate everything and reduce human input to reduce opportunity for human error
10:11:34 <CDB-PHONE_> just need to be cautious with that zeal

12:44:01 <jralls> chris, no, /me doesn't agree that gnc-pricedb is written in the most obtuse way possible. It's quite clear, it just uses paradigms that while common among real programming languages aren't supported in toy languages like Scheme.

19:38:03 <fell> jralls, as milotype asks, who of us should with Benno. That word was missing in your mail. ;-)
19:38:25 <fell> talk
19:39:04 <jralls> Does milotype want to switch to TP too?
19:40:06 <fell> No about string freeze.
19:43:30 <fell> If Benno needs more than gnucash.pot, can he build from a GH tarbal, was the last state, IIRC.

20:02:43 <jralls> TP use their own tools for generating potfiles. They want a tarball. It looks like github has stopped providing tarballs for every commit--at least I can't find them--so we'd have to at least tag the string-freeze commit to get github to generate a tarball.
20:03:27 <fell> IMHO a tag would be fine.

22:01:45 <chris-phone> Jralls ok, my branch tries to augment price-nearest with a price-before
22:02:32 <chris-phone> CDB wouldn't it be nice then to have 2 more price source options. Price-before and average-cost-basis, a genuine average cost.
