i suggest some desiderata to gnucash concerning stocks and currencies a) stocks: - automated handling / tracking of dividend and brokerage-fees linked to individual stocks (in ledger and in reports) - automated handling of (realized / not realized) profits and losses (lifo; fifo; average ... methode) - automated update of price in price-list when buying / selling a stock / bond - online quotes for swiss stocks (zurich/virt-x) ;-)
and some further desiderata for the beginners - when opening a stock-account: automated opening balance in equity account (as it can be done when other asset-accounts are opened) - in the german translation: account type stock seems to be called 'depot' (instead of Aktie, Wertpapier) - the most important missing link in the documentation: a detailed and complete 'step to step' how to manage stocks with gnucash (works not too intuitive ...) b) currencies (i am using the just published 1.6.5/suse 8.0; may be that 1.6.6. solves some problems?): - it should be possible to book other currencies directely into every account (with possibility to indicate the actually used exchange rate) - in a couple of reports only one curency is shown; other currencies appear as 0 (though rate has been defined in the price-editor) PS: am an old linux user but a very new user of gnucash (imho ripe financial / erp-applications are the most important still missing link for linux; gnucash seeems to be the most sincere project for a solution; cheers to the developers) sincerely c.meier, switzerland _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
