Re: [GNC] GAU as currency

Of course, Michael, you are right--except for the fact that the ISO currency codes include entries for gold, silver, as well as one or two others, which is what I was referring to. I was anticipating Muhammad's next question. Muhammad, there won't be any way for you to obtain daily prices for a

Re: [GNC] GAU as currency

I am not an expert, but my understanding is that the currency codes are derived from the ISO standards. GAU isn't among those. David On Thu, Sep 6, 2018 at 12:19, Muhammad Bashir Al-Noimi wrote:   Hi,   How can use GAU (gold gram) as a currency in GNC instead of XAU (gold   ounce)?

[GNC] Using CSV Importer and Google for Commodity Prices

Hello, I, like many others, have encountered numerous headaches over the last year due to the turmoil around retrieving commodity price quotes. I appreciated being able to retrieve prices on an occasional basis and see, broadly speaking, how my holdings were performing. I bemoaned the loss of

Just note that if you use 3.x and go back to 2.6.x, the program and your data will still work together, but your key bindings will get changed (Command-S will be Ctrl-S, etc.). It’s a little disconcerting at first. > On Aug 27, 2018, at 4:00 PM, John Ralls wrote: > > It's a personal decision

Re: [GNC] Links in transaction reports

I don’t understand your assertion that this would be an “incompatible change of options.” The option to remove hyperlinks is available on the Balance Sheet, but not on the Transaction Report. What about that is incompatible? If I were going to put the option anywhere, I’d put it in the same
