The euro conversion is comming. I would like to write a small perl script
that makes something like this with my account structure:
- account1
|- subaccount11
|- subaccount12
|- subaccount13
- account2
into:
- account1
|- account1 DM
|- subaccount11
|- subaccount11 DM
|- subaccount12
|- subaccount12 DM
|- subaccount13
|- subaccount13 DM
- account2
|- account2 DM
In words:
- for each account "name" create a subaccount "name DM"
- move all transactions from account "name" to account "name DM" with
currency DM
- change the currency for account "name" to euro
- insert all new transactions into the new euro accounts
I think this would be an appropriate way to convert to the euro. Now I need
to know what the line
<act:id type="guid">c73a32ae43bd8a14ba0a7f2163f9868a</act:id>
in the <gnc:account version="2.0.0"> entries of the xac file means. How may I
automatically generate such a unique account id ?
I read in the mailing list Christian Stimming is going to write a euro
conversation. When do you think there will be something usable ?
Thanks
