Re: Default account structure for different locales

Note that you won't get GUIDs from the xea files. GnuCash, when it sees the "new" keyword generates a new GUID for the accounts. This way every account tree is unique. 

The only way to get the GnuCash account GUIDs is to read in the actual data file.

Thanks for the input Frank. 
It's not really much effort for me since the functionality for importing the files is already there. I just need to copy the account structure files over. 

Also, upon first launch of the app, users have the option to create some default accounts. I might as well just create a proper GnuCash tree there. This would match the desktop accounts right down to the account IDs and may spare the work of exporting your account structure and importing it again. 

Cheers
