I was setting up a demo _book with USD as the default currency to create some updates to the documentation on multicurrency section in the guide and just duplicating the original book structure used to create the screen shots in the current documentation.
I started a new book, selected USD as the default currency and created my required accounts with multiple currencies, while the locale for my computer is Australia. In the account tab I wanted to display the Total (USD), i.e. the total in the book currency in the accounts tab, however the drop down list of the headers selected using the down arrow at the right of the header row has (AUD) appended to the selectable column headers. Surely when I selected USD as the default currency in the new book dialog, this should override locale settings? In the preferences Accounts tab I deselcted the Default Currency for new accounts as Locale and selected the Choose radiobutton with USD (US Dollar), then saved the book and reopened it. No change in the above resulted although new accounts were in USD. Screenshot attached. The Opening Balances (USD) displays the correct totals if prices are set in the database Searching through the XML file I was unable to find any references to AUD so it is clearly picking up on the locale setting however changing /etc/default/locale to LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US.en or the same settings in /etc/gnucash/environment produced no change in behaviour after restarting GnuCash. I still get a column in AUD.
