03:49:35 <hades> @tell Kaligula ok, I've looked into it, and I understand now why you would give up building it. I would recommend to try WSL or Docker, since you don't need any GUI.
03:49:35 <gncbot> hades: The operation succeeded.

16:25:40 <CDB-Man> @tell chris just getting to the excel now, I actually dont remember the original purpose of those orange cells. it looks like it compares based on FX, but since there's no fx being converted, these columns don't actually add any value, and I'm more inclined to just delete it
16:25:40 <gncbot> CDB-Man: The operation succeeded.
16:38:23 <fell> jralls, did you mail the new Urdu translator? He is using different email addresses and has no GH account linked.
16:38:23 <gncbot> fell: Sent 1 day, 3 hours, and 11 minutes ago: <Kaligula> Yes, my bank lets me download CSVs.
16:38:24 <gncbot> fell: Sent 1 day, 3 hours, and 5 minutes ago: <Kaligula> I know I can import CSVs downloaded from my bank, but:
16:38:25 <gncbot> fell: Sent 1 day, 3 hours, and 5 minutes ago: <Kaligula> 1) that doesn't solve cash operations and paying in prepaid apps (e.g. for parking or tickets) and
16:38:26 <gncbot> fell: Sent 1 day, 3 hours, and 5 minutes ago: <Kaligula> 2) requires to login with 2FA, then generate, download and import CSV.
16:38:27 <gncbot> fell: Sent 1 day, 3 hours, and 1 minute ago: <Kaligula> For 1) I can make a website on my server for entering transactions (while on trip/vacation), that lets me either download a file ready to import to GnuCash, or lets me connect to it directly via online banking if it's possible.
16:38:28 <gncbot> fell: Sent 1 day, 2 hours, and 58 minutes ago: <Kaligula> For 2) Oh, well, CSVs are inevitable in banks that don't support API.
16:40:38 <fell> jralls-m1: ^
16:42:42 <fell> I also see no sense in copying msgid to msdstr in the glossary.

22:37:03 <CDB-Man> chris: well, not quire sure how useful it was, since the inputs to the column were all manual
22:46:45 <chris> CDB-Man: ok. in the report the variance column calculates capgains from sell_price-avg_cost and displays the difference!
22:49:36 <CDB-Man> hmm, i forgot that the columns actually existed in the report
22:49:38 <CDB-Man> taking another look
22:50:36 <CDB-Man> well, looking at the register right now, im getting a 100% variance because the register column is blank
22:51:50 <chris> variance should be zero if Income:Capgains split == Gain_Pre_commission
22:53:25 <CDB-Man> hmm, i figured out why its blank -- its becaus ethe proceeds/div/fees/cap gains account selections do not include all child accounts
22:53:34 <CDB-Man> after selecting the child account it's good now
22:54:01 <CDB-Man> whoever I get a variance on one of my sales since no vommiddiond esd picked up? checking this transaction
22:54:01 <chris> ah... is it "wise" to make these cash/divi/fees/capg require handling children accounts?
22:54:23 <chris> i'd thoughts these accts should be simple accts
22:54:55 <CDB-Man> not sure -- i can speak to my own useage though
22:55:10 <CDB-Man> i have a "master" cg acount, and underneath it as children, I have CAD, USD, GBP, etc
22:56:45 <CDB-Man> i have the same for fees, divs
22:57:56 <chris> ugh... I'd think it's best to keep it simple... these capg/divi/fees/cash accts are also stored internally by the assistant. ie if you enter multiple SELL you'll find that you won't need to hunt for the Income:Capgain acct every time.
23:01:29 <CDB-Man> does the report borrow from the assistant?
23:01:53 <chris> no it doesn't
23:02:03 <CDB-Man> also separately, could we make the dropdowns in the report options window wider? the current width is very narrow, and my account names average.... 200 characters since I go to level 6 trees
23:02:33 <chris> the account-selection widget "could" be upgraded to retrieve from the metadata but it requires jralls to hook the "change" callback to retrieve from assistant
23:02:47 <CDB-Man> also at the bottom of the report here you pring out all of the parameters, could there be an optino to display the full account name?
23:03:07 <chris> wider:unsure fullnames:yes
23:03:08 <CDB-Man> not as concerned with a "smart" selector if it could be made wider
23:04:00 <CDB-Man> > General / Proceeds Account : !Cash CAD
23:04:00 <CDB-Man> for example, this prints for me, but I have "!Cash CaD" 9 times since I have CAD cash in 9 different investment accounts, so full account names would be helpful!
23:04:10 <CDB-Man> to be printed on the report
23:08:33 <CDB-Man> chris: unrelated to gnucah, remind me again, you were a dentist, right? if yes, I recently got my wisdom tooth removed and had a question
23:10:07 <chris> nopes!
23:10:39 <CDB-Man> general practitioner?
23:11:02 <chris> ya
23:11:17 <chris> todays' nightly will now show full acct names
23:11:32 <CDB-Man> which will mean next weekend when I next get to it
23:16:01 <chris> ok gtg too
