Pricing of newly entered fund transactions

Hi all,

I have a suggestion for improvement. I ran into this issue now I am
downloading my mutual fund and currency rates using Finance::Quote, so
for all currencies/funds I use I have the latest price available.

Now when entering a new transaction (purchase of a mutual fund; purchase
of a currency), the latest transaction with same description is copied.
Very nice of course. But it also copies the old exchange rate / fund
price, while I have a price available for the entered date. I would
expect to get the to-date exchange rate.

When entering a new transaction I found it DOES take the to-date
exchange rate.

Using GnuCash 2.0.1; haven't tried newer versions on this (no Mandriva
rpm found yet).

Wouter.
