Re: [GNC-dev] Semi-Floating decimal in stock shares

Sometimes it is nice to see all of the decimal points aligned when viewing a column of numbers. Some investments come in thousandths of a share. Not trimming is not a bug. On 8/20/19 1:01 PM, David G. Pickett via gnucash-devel wrote: Trivial bug/suggestion: While I never see stock balances or

Re: [GNC-dev] End of 'X' date on 3.4-50 (maint)

Whenever I can, I use/convertTo the format 2019-02-02 (unfortunate that today is the 2nd of February. Things are less ambiguous near the end of months). This format is more native to SQL databases and also will sort reasonably when used in flat file names. I think the US Govt issues passports

Re: transaction.scm date subtotal options - calling wizards ...

Hi Christopher I use a program with a massive pattern recognition phase that sorts MT940 bank transaction records into categories. It has evolved over a decade to help prepare US taxes for German real estate properties. The data is entered by other people. You cannot believe how many ways

Re: Changing to C++

I can put in a good word for Nim ( http://nim-lang.org/ ) It is as fast as C++ (compiles to C/C++), has intelligent (per-thread) garbage collection, a robust type system (if it compiles, chances are it is correct) and has a very lean syntax. It also works well with Postgresql (probably also

Congratulations.. I use Homebrew - and get all my usual Linux tools. No dual boot, no plugins, just brew. You might also sign up as an Apple Developer (now free as I recall). You can then download Xcode and some additional command-line tools. But Homebrew is the main toolbox. You also

Re: Lots In Account

"Lots" are important when figuring capital gains taxes (in the US anyway). When partially selling a stock position, it is useful to know when the lots were purchased. If more than one year in the past, that lot qualifies for a lower tax. If there are losses in a stock position, it may be

Re: Server/Client?

Sounds like a progressive idea. A very similar approach which would be easier and more ‘main stream’ is to use a browser as the GUI. There are a number of frameworks which can be used to write the server such as RubyOnRails, Django, etc. These frameworks use MySql, Postgresql, SQLite in a

I would second that recommendation. A web scraper solution is captive to any random changes that the bank makes to its website - incurring a need to work on your parser before it 'works' again. Changes to bank web sites seem to come at the worst possible moment in terms of your own
