[GNC] default local currency (Liz)

[David Long]

Hi David,

 

I keep my GnuCash  files on a folder on my hard disk which synchronizes via Dropbox with the hard disk on my laptop. I used this  file when after I had installed on my laptop.

 

I just changed my default location in Windows 10, but the default local currency in GnuCash is still USD.

 

I am thinking that GnuCash sets the default currency during the installation process, by detecting the default location, and that therefore I now need to re-install, but will first try closing GnuCash and restarting my laptop.

 

Regards

 

David Long

David,

 

So you're not able to click "Choose" and then use the dropdown arrow on the right to select MYR ?  How did you transfer your file over to the laptop - is the file or the volume it's on Read only ?  I did try setting my file to Read only and it didn't make any difference to the behaviour of the Default Currency preference.

 

Cheers David H.

Thanks for replies below about changing default currency, and my follow up.
Any further advice?

I tried before: Preferences >> Accounts >> Default Currency in Gnucash 4.10
???

But its greyed out so cannot change.



My version is 4.10



Adrien noted:

1. Locale (set by your OS preferences)

2. Specify one from the drop down.



OK, if that's case am thinking if 1. Then need to change in OS preferences.
Having done that do I need to reinstall?

Liz, I have Windows 10.
