Problem: On-line quotes for UK Funds are x100 too high

[GRAHAM SMITH]

Thanks Neil,
I have another solution from Fred Bone that appears to solve the problem and better suits my computing capabilities.
Best regards, Graham

Hi Graham,

I have written a extra bit of code for price-quotes.scm for the price factor problem as I couldn't find a solution myself. 

I added an update to price-quotes.scm that allows you to put a factor entry in the 'ISIN, CUSIP or other code' field. For example to solve your problem you can enter 'Factor(100)'

I'm not sure if this has any implications elsewhere in GNUCash which is why I haven't tried to publish the update, that and the fact I have no idea how to post any updates ;)

Neil.
