Does --add-price-quotes also get currencies ?

Thanks.


In the meantime I can upgrade to 2.2.9, I'm trying to find a workaround...

I think the reason I'm having different result with the cron job
"gnucash --add-price-quote" is because the job is executed as root.

As user, the default currency is EUR.  So when I start GnuCash from
desktop (as user), and click on "Get quotes", I get the EUR-USD
exchange rate.

As root, the default currency is USD.  So when the cron job is executed,
it retrieves the USD-EUR exchange rate.


If I'm right, then the workaround would be to add the "--config-path"
argument in the crontab (?)

What is the default config path when I start GnuCash as user ?
$HOME/.gnucash  ?

The actual crontab entry I'm using is:
20 22 * * 1-5 gnucash --add-price-quotes $HOME/Documents/GNUCash/MonPortefeuille >/dev/null 2>&1 #JOB_ID_1

Would:
20 22 * * 1-5 gnucash --add-price-quotes $HOME/Documents/GNUCash/MonPortefeuille --config-path $HOME/.gnucash >/dev/null 2>&1 #JOB_ID_1
do the trick ?
