I was working with splits in a mutual fund, and an Imbalance row was
created (I struggle with the splits). I saved it and closed gnucash.
The next day, I started gnucash and got the following error:
Error: dom_tree_handlers_all_gott...(): Not defined and it should be:
act:currency
[snip]
I found the account and it looked like this:
<gnc:account version="2.0.0">
<act:name>Imbalance-</act:name>
<act:id type="guid">20b9fd268081fd6b3a19688c79ed65c7</act:id>
<act:type>BANK</act:type>
<act:currency-scu>100000</act:currency-scu>
</gnc:account>
I corrected the problem by editing it and making it look like this:
<gnc:account version="2.0.0">
<act:name>Imbalance-</act:name>
<act:id type="guid">20b9fd268081fd6b3a19688c79ed65c7</act:id>
<act:type>BANK</act:type>
<act:currency>
<cmdty:space>ISO4217</cmdty:space>
<cmdty:id>USD</cmdty:id>
</act:currency>
<act:currency-scu>100000</act:currency-scu>
</gnc:account>
I copied the act:currency section from <act:name>Asset</act:name>
I am up and running again, but I thought you should know about this bug.
Thanks for the text file format. This leads to a more transparent
application, which is a good thing.

P.S. Making splits easier to understand would help a lot. When I save
the split and the box appears b/c it does not add up, I have no idea
which one to choose. I know what I want it to do, but I never pick the
right one.
