Erik, We use the Finance::Quote currency method, see https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/maint/src/quotes/gnc-fq-helper.in#L346 and https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/maint/src/quotes/gnc-fq-dump#L165. When using the scripts directly one must use source currency, e.g. gnc-fq-dump currency USD GBP Regards, John Ralls _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
