[GNC] How to export the security list for importing to other Gnucash files

[David Cousens]

AFAIK there is currently no way to export the security database from GnuCash.
The data is contained in the main GnuCash XML datafile between tags as
follows:

<gnc:commodity version="2.0.0">
  <cmdty:space>ASX</cmdty:space>
  <cmdty:id>COL</cmdty:id>
  <cmdty:name>Coles Group</cmdty:name>
  <cmdty:fraction>10000</cmdty:fraction>
</gnc:commodity>
.

Presumably the main data file  can be edited with a general text editor and
the relevant entries copied and pasted into a new data file. It would be a
good idea to do thiskeeping copies of the originals so you can revert if
this is not successful.

Adding a feature request in bugzilla (bugs.gnucash.org) will facilitate
having this added as a future enhancement.
