Yes, this functionality used to exist in gnucash. I first used it in August 2000. I last used it in March 2003. I was using Debian unstable in 2003, so it was probably gnucash 1.8.2.
The current documentation does still document the Currency account type: Help_ch_Account-Actions.xml: <row> <entry><para>Currency</para></entry> <entry><para>Currency Accounts are used for trading currencies.</para></entry> </row> I found this in the source: guint32 xaccAccountTypesValid(void) { guint32 mask = (1 << NUM_ACCOUNT_TYPES) - 1; mask &= ~((1 << ACCT_TYPE_CURRENCY) | /* DEPRECATED */ (1 << ACCT_TYPE_ROOT)); /* ROOT */ return mask; } So maybe the functionality was replaced, but the old documentation remained. -- Cannot create account of type "currency" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278541 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
