[GNC] Account name with ':' in it

[Murugan Muruganandam]

the account seperator character is clashing with your data.  Please go ahead and change the seperator Charater in preference


Separator Character: The account separator is the character that separates a parent account from its sub-account, for example Utilities:Electric. The default is a : (Colon), but you can also select / (Slash), \ (Backslash), - (Dash) or . (Period), or any Unicode character that isn’t a letter or a number.

Subject: [GNC] Account name with ':' in it

When I started Gnucash today (after doing a QIF import yesterday),
I am getting a popup:
 The separator character ":" is used in one or more account names.
 This will result in unexpected behaviour.  Either change the account names
  or choose another separator character.
  Below you will find the list of invalid account names:
  Tybor:TbLLC

In looking at the COA, I see that Tybor:TbLLC was added by Gnucash as
a Trading account (which I assume resulted from the QIF import).

In using the Security Editor, I see a Namespace of Tybor:TbLLC

I assume that the Trading account name came from the Namespace name.

If ":" is a problem, then it seems to me that I should not be allowed to
create
a Namespace name with a ":" in it.

Also, there appears to be no way to edit a security Namespace name.
