[GNC] Account Hirarchy with different currencies cause online quotes to fail in some cases

[Ove Grunnér]

Hi Frank, Thanks for looking at this.

The book currency in my GnuCash setup is Euro. (I referred to it as Base
Currency earlier on), That is configured under
Edit/Preferences/Account/Default Currency
it is set to: Locale EUR (Euro)
my Report Currency specified under Edit/Preferences/Reports/Default Report
Currency is set to: Chose Swedish Krona (SEK)

When I look at my Swedish investments (that includes American Shares) I
want to see them summed up in SEK
When I look at all my investments I want to see them summed up in Euro.

If I look under accounts, I can see the totals of each sub Account in the
currency I have set for that individual account, but the Swedish umbrella
accounts do not include the USD sub account totals
The same is true for a report, I can see the currency for each account, and
an additional column with my Report Currency specified.
The report works fine when looking at it using Euro as reporting currency,
but not in SEK.

My problem seem to be that I am not able to automatically fetch all 3
exchange rates (EUR/USD, EUR/SEK, SEK/USD)
I only get (EUR/USD, EUR/SEK)
As such the SEK account does not add up the USD amounts from the USD sub
account.
If I manually add the SEK/USD exchange rate it all works.

I have tried selecting EUR, SEK & USD in the Security Editor, and also just
SEK & USD.
but in both cases I only get the two exchange rates and GnuCash does not
seem to calculate the third based on the two it has.

Am I missing something?

Thanks Ove.
