So I need any assistance, suggestions. I have a Google Pixel Chromebook, and 1-2 years ago I successfully installed GnuCash Version 3.2 on it, via Flatpak, that has worked fine 90%. I have a zillion backups of my data. Earlier today I saw an email that Geert sent out, indicating (I think) that

On second thought, a slight correction —if each account only showed amounts converted to its own currency - NONE of the splits would match any other account’s view of the transaction. The Credit of GBP from Transferwise would be a different amount in the Transferwise_CHF account and a 3rd

It's a difference in the way that the register works with or without trading accounts. If trading accounts are turned off then the register displays all splits converted to that register account's currency. If they're on then it displays each split in its own account's currency, with symbols

Thanks, that's great, I'll have a play with that after work. Two points concern me: 1.  I don't see currency symbols in my registers.  Is this a setting? 2.  I've been taught in accounting that transactions must balance, and so I was expecting to see the GBP register all in GBP, the CHF

So the Cafe’s price was CHF 5.70? Your card was debited GBP 4.67? The Expense:Coffee account is set to EUR? First, yes, you’ll need Trading Accounts turned on. Second, open the price db and fetch rates, then check the EUR-GBP rate, you’ll need it later. (I don’t see a way around this at

When you received payment, were you prompted to enter an exchange rate? If the rate entered allows the transaction to balance as-is, then you won’t have a gain/loss. If however, you specified a real-world rate that left some portion of funds remaining to be accounted for, that would be balanced

Jayakumar, I am no expert on this subject. This has been discussed on the lists before, however, so I hope that one of the previous participants can explain the situation and its solution better than I will.  David On Fri, Aug 16, 2019 at 11:14, Jayakumar Chakravarthy wrote: David,
