Exchange rate changes lead to imbalance

True. But gnucash neither. If gnucash has a feature where you can adjust exchange rates/stock prices, it should cope with this as well to keep consistency. Not sure though how it can be implemented. :-( But if it will be implemented once it should handle all types of inventories, not only foreign currencies and stocks.

For this particuluar case I would do something like:

add two HUF denominated sub-accounts:

Assets:EUR:Valuation 
Equity:AOCI

(where AOCI stands for Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income), and handle valuation adjustments by hand.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers, Dolfy
