Re: G2 Testing - Scheduled Transactions[/Register]
When creating a transaction that is being created via the option Since Last Run and listed in the To Create Transaction Preparation and I am requested to enter a value (i.e. for a utility) clicking the Forward button without entering the required value displays the To Create Transaction Preparation window again. However, this time the size of the read-only register at the bottom is increased (by a few pixels). Pressing the Forward button repeatedly increases the register each time by the same amount. :( I was hoping we'd be past this perennial window-resize issue; I notice in other threads your tree was a bit old; does this still occur for you? I do not see this behavior; pressing forward simply selects the next transaction that needs a variable binding and updates the proposed-transaction register, without resizing. I am now running with the tree from 2005-10-31 (just before the switch to subversion) and yes, this problem is still around. The values for 'create NN days in advance' and 'Remind me NN days in advance' can't be modified. These entered values can only be turned on or off but the number of days can not be changed. I've re-layed-out the dialog to deal with this. In gtk 1.x, any widgets in the label of a checkbox were manipulable, but apparently not in gtk2; I've made them two seperate widgets, side by side. OK. The new layout is much better and it works as expected. However, the 'Create Automatically' option has a tool tip, the other options do not. Is this intentional? Also, it appears that none of the options (only the menu options of the Template) have keyboard shortcuts. A new thing I ran into: I'm unable to enter anything into the fields for 'Number of Occurrences' and 'Remaining Occurrences'. I may not be using this properly though since I never did use it myself. - Creating a new SX It appears that the values for the Days in Advance for a new SX are being populated from the defaults listed in the preferences for 'Scheduled Transactions' even when the preferences are unchecked. Set the values in the preferences to anything other then '0', then uncheck the options. Now create a new SX. The values from the preferences are being used _and_ the options are checked by default. These are fixed, now. The preferences are respected and populated. Yes, this is OK now. - Creating a new SX I'm setting the frequency of the transaction and the start date. After this I want to specify the transaction and click anywhere in the transaction template. This causes the start date and the displayed calendar view to change to 2004-01-01. I cannot reproduce this; can you find a script to reproduce, please? Sorry, but what exactly do you mean when you say 'a script'? I have no SX (deleted them all), I want to create a new one: Actions -- Scheduled Transactions -- Scheduled Transaction Editor Click 'New' Click in the Register templates and the date jumps back to 2004-01-01. - Saving a new SX crashes GC. I had deleted all of my SX to test these things but now I'm unable to retest any of the other items I reported earlier since GC doesn't allow me to save a scheduled transaction without crashing.

If transactions are being created automatically, the notify me when created checkbox seems obvious. You get a message when a transaction is created. I'm confused about the final line though. Does this move the creation announcement forward by x days, or is this an additional reminder that occurs in advance of creating the transaction. Also is this number of days calculated from the date of the transaction, or the date that the transaction will be created. For example, if I have a transaction to be created on December 1st, marked as create 7 days in advance and a reminder 10 days in advance, when does the reminder occur? November 14th (ten days before the transaction is created) or 21st (den days before the transaction is dated). As per coordination in #gnucash, I've already made these changes, but FTR I'll reply here... Create automatically conditionalizes only notify when (automatically) created -- if it's not being created automatically you'll be notified by definition in the SX-SLR dialog. The options code-named notify_days is really remind_days; I've renamed them in the schema and code appropriately to forestall future confusion with the other unrelated notify [when auto-created] option. The spinbuttons in this preference dialog behave *slightly* differently than in the editor; in the preferences, 0 is a magic value meaning don't check the create-/remind-in-advance option *and* make the value 0.; as a corollary: non-zero in the preferences means check the option and set the spinbutton to be this non-zero value. Thinking about it now, there's no real reason for the editor to have both a checkbox and a spinbutton: 0 can be a sentinel value there too... maybe I'll file an RFE for that later. I don't recall if the create-in-advance and remind-in-advance are cumulative, but they should be, of course. Otherwise, you can end up in a weird state. ...jsled -- http://asynchronous.org/ - `a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel

When I have the option for the 'Since Last Run' to 'Run when data file

Scheduled Transactions window; when selecting preferences, when
scrolling, etc. So far, GC only crashed for me when I was working with SX.
Yeah, I notice a bunch of console noise when opening the SLR dialog. I
don't recall seeing the spewage here before, either. :( I've tried only
a few flows through the SLR dialog, and without crashes. I'll take a
deeper look. Any reproduction scripts you can offer would be great.
I also was able to crash GC when selecting the the option 'Draw
horizontal lines between cells' of the 'Register' preferences. (I
wanted to see if this option effects the SX window and it did in two
ways. :-) )
Selecting this option while the 'Since Last Run' window is open appears
to be a certain crasher but I still need to build a good test case.
I can reproduce this as well by:
- open SX editor
- close SX editor
- open Register prefs
- change either draw {horiz,vert} lines option
-- crash.
This leads me to believe SXes aren't cleaning up their register
properly...

No, create automatically means it gets created without any intervention from the user, whenever the Since Last Run dialog is run to completion within the time frame of days in advance to create date. I use create automatically for payday transactions that don't change week to week. If the checkbox in line three is selected, then transactions will not be created on the actual date of the transaction, but will be created x days early. SX's that are not created automatically are editable from within the Since Last Run dialog (SLRD). If SLRD is run within days in advance to create to create date, then the transaction is presented to the user for edit/creation. If SLRD is run within days in advance to remind and days in advance to create, a reminder is presented, from which it can be selected for creation. If transactions are being created automatically, the notify me when created checkbox seems obvious. You get a message when a transaction is created. I'm confused about the final line though. Does this move the creation announcement forward by x days, or is this an additional reminder that occurs in advance of creating the transaction. Also is this number of days calculated from the date of the transaction, or the date that the transaction will be created. For example, if I have a transaction to be created on December 1st, marked as create 7 days in advance and a reminder 10 days in advance, when does the reminder occur? November 14th (ten days before the transaction is created) or 21st (den days before the transaction is dated). If you want, I can create some screenies of the whole process (I use SX's extensivley) and post them for your review. (but not tonight -- well, maybe much later tonight...)

G2 Testing - Scheduled Transactions/Register
I did some more testing with SX: - Creating a new SX It appears that the values for the Days in Advance for a new SX are being populated from the defaults listed in the preferences for 'Scheduled Transactions' even when the preferences are unchecked. Set the values in the preferences to anything other then '0', then uncheck the options. Now create a new SX. The values from the preferences are being used _and_ the options are checked by default. - Creating a new SX I'm setting the frequency of the transaction and the start date. After this I want to specify the transaction and click anywhere in the transaction template. This causes the start date and the displayed calendar view to change to 2004-01-01. - Saving a new SX crashes GC. The message unknown, but with movement is displayed 50 times on the console. (I had this come up twice but can't recreate it right now) I am, however, able to save a new SX if I don't enter anything in the transaction template. - Running the 'Since Last Run' I have a single transaction with status Ready to create The information for the split for this SX is not displayed in the Transaction Template. When I click on the transaction to display the split, GC crashes. However, if I click the forward button, the 'Transaction Review' window appears and the program runs into a loop and the window size increases. The bottom of the window moves towards the bottom of the screen and the window needs to be canceled. The transaction is applied, though. - Display of upcoming transactions When displaying the upcoming transactions by means of clicking in the calendar and hovering over the calendar dates, the small window first gets created in the upper left corner of the screen displaying the correct information in regards to the mouse position. As soon as the mouse gets moved, though, the small window follows the mouse pointer. The width of the window isn't changing with the dates and appears to always be the largest window size displayed so far during the current GC session. - Register (SX transaction template) (I think these are problems with the register and not the SX) When entering the transaction in the template the pointer is not visible when I move from one field to the next using the TAB key or using a mouse click. The pointer becomes visible when I start typing or when I click in the field a second time. - Register (SX transaction template) When entering the account like this ex:u: to jump to Expenses:Utilities and then open the account list manually (GC1.8 opens the account list automatically) I should be able to see the accounts under Utilities. However, the account list does not display with the Expenses:Utilities account in view. Instead, the list displayed is the top of the accounts list. - Register (SX transaction template) Entering a value (e.g. '20.00') without entering an account or a memo for the first split causes everything else entered so far to be reset when tabbing to the second split. -- Thanks Volker Englisch mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED](h) ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
Re: G2 Testing - Scheduled Transactions/Register
Volker, This is fantastic! In-depth testing and reporting like this is invaluable. Thank you! I think you've given us a lot to work on here with SX. If you're going to continue testing I'd suggest picking another subsystem, like maybe graphing, or maybe just the register. (or soon hopefully, budgetting.) -chris On Tue, Oct 25, 2005 at 10:35:02PM -0400, Volker Englisch wrote: I did some more testing with SX: - Creating a new SX It appears that the values for the Days in Advance for a new SX are being populated from the defaults listed in the preferences for 'Scheduled Transactions' even when the preferences are unchecked.

Re: G2 Testing - Scheduled Transactions/Register
If you're going to continue testing I'd suggest picking another subsystem, That's the plan. I'm good at breaking stuff. :-) Please feel free to comment if my explanation is not clear, when I need to be more specific or when a screen shot is needed.
