03:16:09 <finster> hello. using gnucash 4.6 on macos 11.5.1. i'm using the default "advanced portfolio" report. when I try to print the report to a file, the date format of the resulting file is using american style date formatting (month/day/year). can I influence that somehow?
03:16:28 <finster> generally, my gnucash and macos system is localized in german (de_DE)
03:16:46 <finster> thank you in advance

06:50:50 <fell> finster, is only advanced portfolio affected?
06:54:26 <fell> and how is it displayed?
07:01:30 <fell> I just printed the report empty and the title date was in de_DE format.
07:05:32 <fell> Beearbeiten->Einstellungen->Zahl…->Datumsformat?

10:23:11 <Daniel> Good afternoon folks - please excuse me if it has been asked before but is there a Report that will give me a running balance for one account for a "month ahead" taking into consideration active Scheduled Transactions?
10:24:04 *** David has quit IRC
10:24:30 *** David has joined #gnucash
10:25:41 <Daniel> The reason I am asking is that I was a former user of Home Accountz and used its "View One Month Ahead" function to keep an eye on my main current account. I could then see the lowest balance forecast in the month and decide when to pay a bill or move money to savings.
10:25:57 <Simon> I just have my scheduled transactions set to be created 90 days in advance
10:27:46 <Daniel> Is that the normal way to do it in gnucash then? We do have a fairly decent number of weekly and fortnightly transactions and that might make the main view a little cluttered.
10:28:09 <chris> Daniel: use the "Balance Forecast" report.
10:28:45 <chris> it's the only one with good use of SX forecasts
10:29:17 <Daniel> Presumably I would have to customise the period of the report and make it run on only the account I am interested in?
10:29:35 <chris> yes
10:29:54 <warlord> @tell habs you should think of an Invoice as a single transaction, and each Line-item in the Invoice is a unique Split. So the way to do what you want is to have multiple line-items in the Invoice, one for each piece.
10:29:54 <gncbot> warlord: The operation succeeded.
10:30:36 <Daniel> Thank you chris - I will check the wiki for making a custom report
10:31:58 *** Daniel has quit IRC
10:32:21 <warlord> Daniel, no report will look at future SXes; but you get tell the SX to fire early (you can set how many days ahead).
10:32:46 <warlord> (except the Balance Forecast, apparently ;)
10:33:46 <chris> warlord: and the Future Scheduled Transactions Summary :)
10:33:54 <warlord> ok
10:37:33 * Simon really needs "Jump" to be able to find the highest value split instead of doing nothing on multi-split transactions
10:38:08 <Simon> I'm entering lots of stock purchases and it's really inconvenient to go to the other account and reconcile the new totals
10:38:39 <chris> Simon: you can set up Keyboard accelerators for "Split" and "Jump" - I use ^L and ^J myself
10:54:40 <Simon> yes you keep offering workarounds that involve more clicks or key presses :|
10:55:15 <Simon> I know how to use the UI to do it the slow way, it's easier to go via a report that lists all of them than split and unsplit
10:59:57 <chris> No, I offer workarounds that would not annoy the vast majority of users by changing the UI to accommodate one person
11:02:39 <Simon> in what way would it annoy the vast majority of users to have the "Jump" button do something on transactions with more than 2 splits, instead of doing nothing?
11:07:13 <chris> many users resist any change. how would the behaviour be consistent if I have a txn with 5 splits - Sales, Sales VAT, Purchase, Purchase VAT, Net
11:07:53 <chris> -1000 Sales, -100 Sales VAT, 200 Purchase, 20 VAT on Purchase, 880 Net
11:08:37 <chris> from the Sales VAT split, should it jump to the 880 Net split? from the 880 Net split should it jump to the -1000 sales split?
11:12:31 <chris> If I were to implement Jump for a multisplit, I'd pop up a dialog with all transaction splits, and ask the user to select which one to jump to, *and* ensure all splits have a keyboard shortcut 1-9a-z
11:14:32 <chris> ^ this could be done
11:14:59 *** jervin has joined #gnucash
11:16:13 <chris> (there's already similar popup when r-clicking a payment transaction which pays multiple invoices/bills)
11:16:44 <chris> (there's already similar popup when r-clicking a payment transaction which pays multiple invoices/bills, and select "Jump to associated invoice")

11:26:47 <NoobAlice> chris: Thanks for that hotkey tip! I never thought to set it up for things like that. That will make my workflow better. :)
11:30:14 <Simon> I still want Jump to go to another register without any further selection; it could be configurable

11:50:20 *** qwer has joined #gnucash
11:51:20 <warlord> Simon, how do you know that the largest split is the one I want to jump to?
11:51:54 <warlord> maybe I want to go to the first one alphabetically? Or the lowest? Or the un-reconciled one? Or...
11:52:02 <warlord> There's just no way to know.
11:52:34 <warlord> Now, I would consider something with a popup that asks whether to auto-expand the transaction and then you can select the split to jump to....
