He proposes that the transaction line in split view should also show the value in the transaction currency, that is shares * price. Does anyone have an opinion about this? I sometimes found Steven Bruniges' writing a little difficult to follow, so pardon if I've missed something. I disagree with him; the transaction line in the split view shouldn't show the value in the transaction currency because the share price isn't being shown. (Why doesn't he have the "Price" column header?) My preferences would be, referencing the first two screenshots from the original bug: Screenshot https://bugs.gnucash.org/attachment.cgi?id=374842 * Leave all numbers as-is Screenshot https://bugs.gnucash.org/attachment.cgi?id=374843 * In the "Tot Sell" column remove the top black 3 and leave that cell blank. In BOTH screenshots * change heading "Balance" to "Shares Balance" to indicate it is not the cash value total but the shares total * no need for "Tot" in any of the three column headings that use it. They are not really totals, which just makes this a little odd. Surprisingly, this does not appear to be an issue in my single other-currency balance sheet account (except for the "Tot" parts of column heads), probably because conversion rates are not displayed in the register. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org 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.

He proposes that the transaction line in split view should also show the value in the transaction currency, that is shares * price. Does anyone have an opinion about this? I feel like I ought to have an opinion about this, since my book has several currencies and securities, and the handling of securities and currencies regularly surprises me. But in reading the bug 799041 discussion, I have a hard time following the issue. Part of the problem is that my small laptop screen means I can't refer to the screen shots while I read discussion text. I may do better if when I open the bug discussion on a system with multiple, large monitors.
