This bug should be corrected in the new version. To check you can compile the
development version that you find on git?

To compile grisbi:

First get the sources of grisbi. open a console and enter the following command:

git clone git://grisbi.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/grisbi/grisbi [^]

Then enter the commands below:

cd grisbi
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

/usr/local/bin/grisbi

before you must install git and the following libraries :

libglib2.0-dev, libgtk2.0-dev, gettext, intltool, libxml2-dev openssl-dev,
libofx-dev

i did everything as per your note, bug still there.

i also tried double-clicking the date, the calendar pops up, i selected
september 7, 2010; the correct date (september  7, 2010) is shown but the field
is in red color, when i click "OK", dialog box appear with the error message:
"Invalid date Tuesday, 07 September, 2010".

btw, archive is not working due to date problem with the same error message
"Invalid date Tuesday, 07 September, 2010"

my 2 cents: is the date picker field trying to be "intelligent and smart" and
trying to parse the data entered? can you get rid of the "intelligence" or at
least provide a date format option in Preferences?

is there a date checking routine that is generating the above error message?

not being able to put in the proper date makes grisbi unusable, accounting with
wrong dates is not accounting.

thanks.

Hello,

In fact there are two problems but only the first is important. The problem is
the representation of the default date for Americans who is not in the format
mm/dd/yyyy.
when I'll have changed the date display, the form field will no longer red.

In a future version of Grisbi the date format as the thousands separator and
decimal separator will be options in the preferences.

hi,

Normally this is fixed in development version. Can you update git and recompile
grisbi

hi,

sorry for delay response, your previous note got me thinking about changing my
locale, somehow some extraneous characters got into my locale file and ended up
creaming my system, took me a while to figure it out since i had an unbootable
system.

here is what i did:
in: /etc/default/locale
add line: LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
reboot

this got my date format to conform to us system
works with the git and the ubuntu 10.10 version of grisbi

my guess is the default LC_TIME="en_PH.UTF-8" is not well-defined and grisbi got
confused.

thanks

hi,

I use the following command in a terminal:
export LANG = en_PH.utf8 && /usr/local/bin/grisbi
it works properly with the latest version retrieved on git and compiled.

Can you check if the following lines are present in the terminal:

Variables d'environnement :

LANG = en_PH.utf8

Currency
	currency_symbol = Php
	mon_thousands_sep = ","
	mon_decimal_point = .
	positive_sign = ""
	negative_sign = "-"
	frac_digits = "2"

thanks.

entered 11/10/10 (november 10, 2010) = ok

entered 10/10/10 (october 10, 2010) = ok

in archived transaction,
when i enter the final date, there is a long pause before the date entered shows
up in the field, looks like it is querying the data for every digit entered, can
the query be held until cursor exit field? it takes a few second before the date
appeared in the field, so am left wondering if grisbi crashed or what, that is,
until the date finally appear.

thanks
