[GNC] bulk operations?

[Samantha Payn]

Thanks for the suggestion, Adrien. I’ve got entering the invoice data into Gnucash down to a fine art (especially with the recent “predictive text” input in my “product” fields! Thanks again for that, whoever it was!). It is specifically the step to confirm the exchange rate when posting an invoice which is the time consuming point.

I use “fetch rate” for the first invoice, and just “accept rate” for all the others, but that’s still three clicks per invoice (I think).
