[GNC] Exchange Rate to Price Database issue with low transactions amounts

[John Ralls]

Bo,

The video didn’t make it. I just get a black rectangle shown in the screen shot at the bottom. It’s not active and I don’t see any representation of it in the source. It came directly to me from Google so it wasn’t the list that stripped in out, but I don’t see any clues in the headers suggesting which agent did.

Sounds like you made a test account. How about attaching that? Or you might prefer to open a bug report. Attachments in Bugzilla are a bit more reliable than those on emails.

Are you using the Transfer Dialog rather than the register to create transactions? Not that it matters, I get the same results either way. To your question about which box is on the left, it depends on the setting/Preference Accounts>Use formal accounting labels. If that’s turned on, debit is on the left as it should be. If it’s turned off Transfer from is on the left and for debit-balance accounts that means credits is on the left. But getting that wrong will change the currency that you enter in the Amount field at the top. Instead of entering 20¥ you’d enter $0.13.

The default currency account is only a default for generating reports and creating accounts. You can override it.  You are correct that you can’t change the minimum fraction on currencies. Those are hard-coded into the program.

Regards,
John Ralls
