Re: [GNC] Error message when opening file in 5.0

I'm not sure I understand your concern, but the code I changed for 5.1 removes 
the feature flag from your file.

Thank you very much. The 5.1 release worked perfectly.
It seems that few users implemented this "book currency" feature. Question: Is 
it possible for me to reverse it, so that in the event future releases finally 
disable this feature, users like me can still apply the updates without 
problems?
Best regards
Douglas

The book-currency feature was created 6 years ago as part of an ambitious 
project that never got finished. It added several hundred unused lines to the 
options code so I removed it as part of rewriting that options code in C++. I 
thought that it wouldn't have gotten set in any books.

I've restored the feature to 5.1 so you and anyone else with the feature set 
will be able to upgrade.

The book-currency feature was created 6 years ago as part of an ambitious 
project that never got finished. It added several hundred unused lines to the 
options code so I removed it as part of rewriting that options code in C++. I 
thought that it wouldn't have gotten set in any books.

I've restored the feature to 5.1 so you and anyone else with the feature set 
will be able to upgrade.

[GNC] Error message when opening file in 5.0

[figures...@outlook.com]

I have been using Gnucash for many years now, latest version 4.14
I successfully installed version 5.0 but when I attempt to open my main account 
file I get the error message “User specified a ‘book currency’; cost of other 
currencies/commodities tracked in terms of book-currency (requires at least 
Gnucash 2.7.0)”
As I said, I am currently using version 4.14 with no issues. I admit the 
account file I am using dates back many years, but I have been updating Gnucash 
regularly over the years.
Is there a way to isolate and eliminate this error message?
Thanks very much for an excellent program.
