11:38:03 <Robert847> Hi. I am still using release 3.8 in Linux Lite and I have had duplicates of a few transactions that are normally scheduled appear in my data file. These duplicates are not linked to the transaction scheduler so I can test for that on suspected duplicates. I suspect that they may have appeared from use of the replay log function. Is it possible that function may not correctly rebuild newly SX editor created transactions?

12:09:20 *** sbluhm has quit IRC
12:27:24 <warlord> Robert847, it begs the question: why are you replaying the log? Yes, replaying SX logs will most likely duplicate those transactions when the SX fires again.

12:53:31 <Robert847> I was replaying the log because some accidental keystrokes made it appear that GnuCash had crashed. Later I discovered that GnuCash had actually been moved to another workspace and I had inadvertantly created a second instance. Those duplicates may also be fallout from that incident.

13:01:43 <Robert847> I would have thought that replaying the log would include whatever keys are needed to eep the SX editor and history intact, thus detecting and preventing any duplicates. As far as the second instance possibly creating duplicates, I thought I had that covered by closing one instance without saving.
13:04:50 <warlord> Nope. It's literally just a transaction log; the SX metadata isn't in there. Nor are account creation/deletion. Nor any biz objects.
13:08:08 <Robert847> So it is a good idea to do a file save immediately after running SLR or after those other activities.
13:15:12 <warlord> yes
13:15:15 <warlord> Save Early, Save Often
13:15:40 <Robert847> side question. I have pidgin set up to log into more than one channel on different networks and now I sometimes get messages from multiple NicServs but I cannot tell which is which. Is there some way to see which network's NickServ is talking to me?
13:16:21 <warlord> Dunno - I've never used IRC with Pidgin -- I use HexChat
13:16:44 <warlord> so each server/network gets its own page, and the Nickserv from that network goes to that specific page.
13:16:59 *** fell has quit IRC
13:21:59 <Robert847> Like starting saving for retirement early in life
13:27:59 <warlord> LOL. Yeah.
13:28:05 <warlord> I wish I had started a decade earlier.

17:05:21 <fell> jralls, is there a reason to use mysql-connector-c-6.1.11 on OSX, but only mysql-connector-c-6.0.2 on win?

19:12:58 <AstronautSurfer> I reset/zero out my gnucash file by exporting accounts to new file and opening it. Works great. Is there no way to export and import my customers and invoices as well?
19:15:43 *** guak has quit IRC
19:22:35 <fell> Hah, there is import clients and suppliers from CSV, but I see no explicit export.
19:23:38 *** Aussie_matt has joined #gnucash
19:24:17 <fell> perhaps Client report, save as HTML, import into excel/*Calc, save as CSV?
19:58:44 *** ArtGravity has joined #gnucash
19:58:45 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v ArtGravity
20:00:01 <warlord> AstronautSurfer, nope, there is not.
20:00:19 <warlord> But I would ask you --- why are you resetting the data file?
20:00:34 <warlord> It makes it much harder to search history.
20:00:41 <warlord> And GnuCash certainly doesn't require it.
20:01:02 <warlord> Reports work fine on the periods, even with older data.
20:01:22 <warlord> And GnuCash also has a "close books" to zeroize the Income/Expense accounts at the end of the period.

22:50:21 <chf> Thank you, NoobAlice. The problem occurs on THIS network (Gimpnet) only, I've no general problem to setup pidgin – this is my reason for asking here.
