Thanks for that tip! As also mentioned in the Github comments (from user 'talliberman') of that #230 pull request, for Windows installation, I just copied the updated alphavantage.pm to overwrite the one the perl CurrencyRates folder and Get Quotes is now updating currencies again.
For Windows users ... don't make the mistake I made - I first overwrote the alphavantage file found in "C:\Strawberry\perl\site\lib\Finance\Quote", but this change actually needs to go into "C:\Strawberry\perl\site\lib\Finance\Quote\CurrencyRates" The same file name alphavantage.pm is found in both folders but I believe they are not the same, and only CurrencyRates version needs updating. Luckily I made a copy of the files before updating so was easy to revert my mistake (or if the update does not later pass review). -----Original Message----- From: gnucash-user <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Jim DeLaHunt Sent: Tuesday, 16 August 2022 1:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [GNC] F::Q Currency Issues On 2022-08-15 17:48, Bruce Schuck wrote: > Hello everyone, > > As I am now the F::Q team member with CPAN/Pause upload priv, please > have patience.

I'm sure everyone here in GnuCash-land is ready to give you that patience and understanding which you so reasonably ask for. For anyone foolhardy and adventurous enough to patch your own installation of Finance::Quote with the fix — the one which Bruce has not yet had the chance to review — there are instructions in the GnuCash bug report at <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798599#c9>. Basically, you find out where Finance::Quote is installed in your copy of Perl, you download a single file from Github, and store it in place of the version which is already installed. It might require a `sudo` and administrator password. It seems to have worked for me, but of course you must assume your own risk if you try it. > - Bruce S. > _______________________________________________ > gnucash-user mailing list > [email protected] > To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: > https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user > ----- > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. > _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
