initializing currencies ??

2001-06-25 Thread Linas Vepstas
Hi, What's the right way to initialize the list of iso currencies? When I just call gnc_book_load() from a stand-alone C program, it gets a parse error, because ISO4217::USD is not defined. That's because the xml file format doesn't store these currencies, and also because the engine doesn't ini

I agree. Since I haven't played with the QIF importer lately, which of these problems with QIF doesn't the present QIF importer address? If it address the problems, why mess with it? If it doesn't I guess it still requires some work. Regardless of how well/not well the QIF importer works, it s

The problem is that when clearing a transaction you have an idea of what transactions are already there. If you have multiple no-info transactions, there is other information to match them to existing transactions already entered without assuming that both no-info transactions (which look the sam

I was assuming clearing via online systems -- however, the format of the file being received by gnucash should be the same either way. Thus allowing the user the choice. Nasa On 25 Jun 2001 16:59:26 -0400, Derek Atkins wrote: > Are you assuming clearing via online systems or incorporation via >

Are you assuming clearing via online systems or incorporation via online systems? I want to be able to use download QIF/OFX in order to load transactions into Gnucash, and then manually clear them at the end of the month with the paper statement. -derek Nathan "A." Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wri

What category? There is not enough information to determine which category to use. And not all entries that look the same are really meant to go to the same 'category'. -derek Nathan "A." Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Couldn't we just credit the category? Since that is already saved --
