[GNC] Fwd: F::Q CLI issue with GNC 5.6-1 on Win 11

[David H]

Ken,

I'm using Gnucash 5.6+(2024-03-30) and Finance Quote 1.62 and it works
for me but I don't recommend you use it as it stuffed up my gnucash
data file.  After it finished I tried to go back into Gnucash and got
the dreaded "The program Gnucash has stopped working wait while we
report it to Microsoft" or whatever the error is.  Only fixed the
issue by going back to the backup file from immediately prior to the
command line cli command and copying it as my usual name gnucash file.

Not much in the way of displays either - just says it "Found
Finance::Quote Version 1.62." even with the verbose option.  It's a
bit dicky on Windows anyway as it seems you have to change all the
backslashes to forward slashes manually :-)

As for your problem I'm only using Alphavantage and a couple of
securities on the NYSE - AAPL and UIS so you might be wanting to check
how your securities are setup ?

Cheers David H.
