John, Thank you for clarifying. I'll note that Gnucash does put stuff into ~/Library/Application Support/Gnucash as well, so there is at least one thing that gets installed. I asked this question because I am still observing several "idiosyncrasies" on my system that no one else seems to be ex

GnuCash on the Mac doesn’t install anything. You drag the bundle to wherever you like, and you can have as many as you like. If you want to try a “fresh installation” (shouldn’t make any difference, nothing in the bundle should change with use) just open up the dmg and drag Gnucash.app somewhere

In reply to my own message, in the interest of trying to run a fresh installation of GnuCash, I logged in to a different (new) Mac user account and replicated the test there. In other words, I opened GnuCash and created a simple file with AAPL and tried to retrieve prices. I receive the same err

Oh, and I mentioned this in the earlier thread, but it bears repeating: the Security Editor window has the option to display price source. As with the Chart of Accounts window, there is a selector arrow on the upper right corner which drops down a list of user-selectable co,lumns for display.

David, You can put the attached config.user file in your DOT_GNUCASH_DIR ($HOME/ Library/Application Support/Gnucash) If you then start gnucash from the command line, it should print out the value of your API key there, together with the version of Finance::Quote that got installed. Unless the

David, Sorry for the typos, I should have tested first. Then I would have realized that of course price-quotes.scm eats gnc-fq-helper’s stdout--that’s after all how it gets the quotes. Unfortunately it seems also to send stderr to /dev/null so that approach won’t work without changing price-quo

David, Thanks, but that's not it. I have my security editor window set up so that it shows the quote source, so I can see at a glance that every one of the 100-plus securities is set to Alphavantage. I think that tomorrow, when I have a little time, I'll create a small test file with one secur
