[GNC] Difficulty with online price retrieval (John Ralls)

Thanks for your comments John and Eric.
I have again reviewed the gnucash help documentation and cannot see
where I am going wrong. In addition to having installed Online Price
Retrieval and entered my API key, I have now also double checked that
the "use trading accounts" option is checked which it is.
In the price database window the currencies I use are listed. There is
an option to delete all previous prices but I presume I don't want to
do that as they record the currency exchange rates used for each of my
past transactions.
I am beginning to think I must take a backward step and use manual
price entry ... where am I going wrong, when I used to be able to use
the automatic option and all seems to be set up as before?
All help gratefully received.

I did post this question before but am still having the same problem.
I have successfully used Gnucash for a couple of years for
multicurrency invoice processing using the Strawberry perl plug in (by
clicking on Install online price retrieval in the Gnucash section of
the start menu) and an #Alpha Vantage access key. I use Windows 10.
Recently I had to upgrade my hardware and since installing gnucash on
the new machine I've not been able to make the price retrieval work.
I have tried installing gnucash, adding the API key, and then adding
Strawberry perl; and I have tried uninstalling everything and then
installing gnucash, adding Strawberry perl and then adding the API key.
No joy.
Where am I going wrong?
All help gratefully received.
Thanks.

I'd like a preference somewhere to activate/inactivate the Interest
Payment
pop-up appearing automatically on an account by account basis. I'd like
the
"Enter Interest Payment ..." button to remain as I have used it a
couple of
times, but that when it has been used it won't then mean it appears
automatically the next time, which would remove the need for the "No
Automatic Interest Payment" button.
Just my two penny worth.
Alan A Holmes
BTW, that's exactly what the current Pull Request implements: per
account option, and the option isn't set silently if you decide to
click
"enter interest payment".

I think it's a reasonable compromise that keeps the feature around, but
much better behaved.

A few days ago it was reported that AlphaVantage was no longer serving
price information (something to do with them not having the appropriate
licences apparently). The general advice seems to be use Yahoo as JSON?
which works fine for me perhaps it would for you.

Puzzled by this and can?t see an obvious reason, but GnuCash 4.0 does
not recognize any printers in my setup (MacOS 10.14.6 Mojave). The
Print dialog shows an empty box with no printers, the Print button is
greyed out. The ?Page Setup? dialog from the File menu, next to
?Format,? shows only ?Any Printer for Portable Documents? and a printer
cannot be chosen from there.
All this works fine in 3.8, with the same file.
I rarely print, so hadn?t noticed this until now, but after 2 days the
light hasn?t dawned on me; feels like I?m missing something obvious.
Thank you for any suggestions.

But not for currency rates, which F::Q has hard-coded to use
alphavantage. Plus Alphavantage currency rates seem to still be
working:
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-dump currency
USD GBP
1 USD = 0.79411 GBP

On which you'll find a workaround.

Is there a way to toggle off and on "Get Online Quotes" for a stock or
fund
without GnuCash forgetting the associated settings?
To get quotes for a UK fund, I switch on Get Online Quotes, select
Multiple
sources, scroll down to the bottom of the list of sources, and select
"U.K.
Funds ...". So far so good. Three mouse clicks and one scroll-down is
not
bad, if you only do it once for a single fund.
Sometimes I switch it off temporarily, to make it easier to
troubleshoot
problems getting quotes for other stocks and funds.
The problem is, when the troubleshooting is over and I switch it on
again,
it comes on with the default settings (Single source Alphavantage), so
I
have to reselect Multiple / U.K. Funds.
It's not a big problem. It's just tedious when there are a lot of funds
to
do. It would be much easier if I could simply toggle on/off without
changing settings.
I suppose an alternative could be to leave it on all the time instead
of
toggling off/on, but then each troubleshooting test would build up
another
set of unwanted prices in the price database.
I have tried to look for an answer online, but failed, so hope someone
can
help.
