With the current CSV Importer interface, it is not immediately clear to me what exchange rate would be used for the conversion of an individual imported transaction to the base currency. My first assumption would be that the imported values are simply numbers and assume the currency of the

[GNC] Does CSV importer work with foreign currencies?

2019-01-07 Thread boldstripe
Is it me, or does the CSV importer fail to import a foreign-currency transaction file to a foreign-currency bank account with the exchange-rate conversion properly respected? Multiple currency accounting works for manual entries, but imports from CSVs show the same (ie unconverted) number on
