yahoo as json stock quotes pounds/pence

[ml enquirer]

Hi,

I'm aware this is not a new question:
- https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2008-November/027224.html
- https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2008-April/024688.html
- https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2009-February/028602.html

but I recently found the "get quotes" feature stopped working with a very
generic error message (more or less the same time as the change of currency
quotes from yahoo to alphaVantage). So I switched my "Type of quote source"
in the "Securities Editor" to "Yahoo as JSON" instead of "Yahoo Europe".

However, now I see the returned values are in GBP *pence* not *pounds*, so
100 times larger than GnuCash expects.

Most previous fixes discussed here (as far as I can see all >2 years old)
involve various hacks at different levels in the source. Is this a solved
problem, or do I need to follow their lead and dig around in the code?

Thanks in advance!
