Ok... currently my understanding is that the split needs to be done
separately at the moment in two steps, rather than the ideal case, which
is just one. First, I buy 340 guilders and it costs me 100 pounds. Then
I spend the 340 guilders.
Trouble is the currency account code doesn't seem to work at the moment.
With my display patch applied, when I try make a transaction where I buy
340 guilders and say that it costs me 100 pounds, gnucash replaces all
my values with either "infinity" or "not a number". If I type just the
pounds and the exchange rate expecting gnucash to work out the guilders,
again it replaces all values with inf or nan.
There is a rough pattern that I found, if the exchange rate is less than
1, then the transaction doesn't work, but if the rate is greater than
one, it does seem to work. Is there maybe something that would cause
this?
Regards,
Graham
