Re: [GNC] default local currency (Liz)
If it is greyed out, something is definitely wrong. I'm going with a read-only preference file as mentioned by David H. But that should imply other preferences also being greyed out. If not, more digging is required... Permissions issue on Win10 perhaps? (Not sure why that would affect only one preference though) Regards, Adrien On 5/10/22 6:41 PM, David Long wrote: Thanks for replies below about changing default currency, and my follow up.

Re: [GNC] default local currency (Liz)
Hi David, I keep my GnuCash files on a folder on my hard disk which synchronizes via Dropbox with the hard disk on my laptop. I used this file when after I had installed on my laptop. I just changed my default location in Windows 10, but the default local currency in GnuCash is still USD. I am thinking that GnuCash sets the default currency during the installation process, by detecting the default location, and that therefore I now need to re-install, but will first try closing GnuCash and restarting my laptop.

How did you transfer your file over to the laptop - is the file or the volume it's on Read only ? I did try setting my file to Read only and it didn't make any difference to the behaviour of the Default Currency preference. Cheers David H.

David, So you're not able to click "Choose" and then use the dropdown arrow on the right to select MYR ?

[GNC] default local currency (Liz)
Thanks for replies below about changing default currency, and my follow up. Any further advice? I tried before: Preferences >> Accounts >> Default Currency in Gnucash 4.10 ???
