When I hit those bugs I assumed that within 3 years those problems would get solved! What serious accounting package wants to mandate a single-currency life? Mike's solution is correct (very important). It is usable (important). It might even be good. GnuCash currently has an ungood and uncorrect solution for people that actually use multiple currencies. It feels like they're treated like a stock holding. Treating foreign currencies like a stocks or funds omits the very important function of currency for doing things like buying stuff. Since I have, in fact, bought stuff using foreign currency and entered it in GnuCash, my books are condemned to imbalance until a correct solution is implemented. If Mike's solution isn't to be adopted, where is the alternative? (I need one.)
