08:17:33 <chris> CDB-Man jralls wrt dialog-stock-editor part of the motivation for a busy overall-view cf. a simplistic assistant/wizard is-- the overall view gives immediate feedback upon the share activity eg sell @ $110 each, input basis $100, and immediately see capgains is $10. this is not visible with an assistant.
08:19:25 <chris> the branch really just needs a build for CDB (or anyone else) to test the UI
08:20:34 <asdlinux> Hi everyone, I want a account summary report from 01-01-2021 to 31-03-2021. How can i do that? or am i using the wrong report ? It seems that i cant choose the beginning of the period to display
08:27:01 <warlord> the account report uses the settings in the register, so from the register go to the View menu and select your date range, and THEN you can run the account report.
08:27:27 <warlord> asdlinux, which exact report are you running, and what output are you trying to get?
08:30:00 <asdlinux> I am running "account summary", It gives the output i want (I think) but it shows last year and this year (from the beginning) but i only want for the period 20210101-20210331
08:32:55 <warlord> THe account summary gives you a point in time, not a range.. It's not a delta, it's a status. But you can set the date in the report options.
08:34:58 <asdlinux> I am new to gnucash and this, where is the register ? (Sorry for stupid questions)
08:36:54 <warlord> The register where you enter/view your transactions; you open it, generally, by double-clicking the account in the Chart of Accounts.
08:36:56 <asdlinux> is there any report that can give me a summary for a range ?
08:37:16 <warlord> Like a profit and loss report?
08:37:21 <warlord> Or a cash flow report.
08:37:34 <warlord> I don't understand what it is you're trying to report on. What is it, exactly, that you want to see?
08:37:37 <asdlinux> It is for my accountant
08:37:57 *** chris has quit IRC
08:38:31 <warlord> And what, exactly, did they ask for?
08:38:47 <asdlinux> he wants a report of the sales, expenses etc during this period
08:38:57 <warlord> That's a P&L
08:39:24 <asdlinux> to give to tax office
08:39:53 <asdlinux> Profit and loss ?
08:40:29 <warlord> yes
08:40:35 <asdlinux> It is for the return of tax (in spain IVA)
08:41:54 <asdlinux> Trying it now
08:43:01 <asdlinux> It look like it is what i am looking
08:43:45 <asdlinux> Thank you very much !!!! You saved my day
08:43:52 <warlord> you're welcome

10:32:24 * chris keen to know if https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/pull/818/commits/52f77f87b43f7eb1dbe6a3c23c73632577f3b83a is correct -- len is initialized to 1 prior to adding GList strings' lengths to accommodate the terminating \0 - correct?

12:22:59 <jralls> chris: Re string_join, almost. Starting with len = 1 is right, but you'll still overflow the buffer because you're not allocating space for sep.
12:25:20 <jralls> Space for one sep too many is harmless so change line 168 to len += strlen(n->data) + strlen(sep);
12:32:20 <jralls> chris, as for your argument about busy overall-view vs. "simplistic" assistant, I think you misunderstand what I'm suggesting for the assistant. The idea isn't to collect each input on a separate page, it's to provide a single page for each transaction type, e.g. one for buy, one for sell, one for open short, one for report dividend, etc. Any use of the assistant would show two pages: One to select the transaction type a
12:32:20 <jralls> nd the second to collect the information for the transaction. A sell page would still be able to show the basis, the proceeds, the costs, and calculate the gain/loss.
12:35:18 <jralls> @tell chris Re string_join, almost. Starting with len = 1 is right, but you'll still overflow the buffer because you're not allocating space for sep.

12:42:59 <jralls> @tell chris On the sell transaction often the hard part that trips up inexperienced investors is calculating the basis, especially when they've reinvested dividends. GnuCash has the information via the lot scrubber, it would be nice to integrate that into the stock transaction assistant.

18:58:01 <chris> jralls: re stock editor - ok understood. should be a minor tweak then.
18:58:11 <chris> thx for marking my C :-P
18:59:49 <jralls> Copying and composing strings that way is one of the most common source of errors in C. It's incredibly easy to miss something.
