[GNC] An external tool to edit securities in Gnucash books
All, I've written a small tool that augments the Gnucash security editor. Currently it has only one noteworthy feature: adding a stock ticker by automatically looking it up by ISIN: $ tickers add test.gnucash US6903701018 +---+++++--+ | Namespace | Name | Symbol | Display Symbol | ISIN | Fraction | +---+++++--+ | NYQ | Beyond, Inc. | BYON | BYON | US6903701018 | 1/1 | +---+++++--+ Do you want to add this security? (yes/no) [no] y I also plan to add import/export features. My personal use-case is to migrate a security database from one Gnucash book to another. The code is on Github[1] and also might be a good start if you were ever interested in writing Python programs using Gnucash bindings. Let me know if you have any questions. If this is something that could be useful to you too, feel free to try it out and file issue reports if you encounter any problems.

Re: [GNC] Setting up an account for stocks
Max, In the guide you've referenced under "Example Stock Account" there's a description of individual fields in the dialog box. You need to follow the instructions in item 6 "Create the New Security", and create a security record for your stock, and then in the New Account dialog you'll need to click "Select" next to the "Security/Currency" field, and select the new security you've created. Make sure that you select a "Stocks" parent account _before_ selecting the security, otherwise you will not be able to find your security there. Hope this helps, happy to help if you run into more issues. -- Edward publickey - gnucash@hades.name - 0x313E7073.asc Description: application/pgp-keys signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
