not a software bug
** Also affects: gnucash-docs (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- Cannot create account of type "currency"
+ "Currency" account type documentation is misleading
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: gnucash
+ The gnucash documentation contains this:
- I need to create a currency account to convert between USD and GBP.
+ <row>
+ <entry><para>Currency</para></entry>
+ <entry><para>Currency Accounts are used for trading
currencies.</para></entry>
+ </row>
- I press the "Create a new Account" button on the toolbar.
-
- I look at the "Account Type" list.
-
- "Currency" is not there.
-
- I try selecting different parent accounts in the "Parent Account" list.
-
- "Currency" is not in the list for any of my accounts.
-
- I expect the Currency type to be available.
-
- I have existing accounts of type Currency that work correctly, but
- cannot create new ones.
-
+ This is misleading, as Currency accounts can no longer be created, and
+ trading currencies is done using the Currency Transfer pane on the
+ Transfer Funds Window.
