I've been poking around with setting a default budget and find myself in
qofbookslots.h which was apparently introduced for
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=537476>
which, at least as I understand it, implements "trading accounts" to
handle multi-currency and multi-commodity transactions. I've been able
to mainly resolve the swig-guile-gettext interactions related to getting
the strings to translate, which I'm hoping to get in with some of the
default-budget changes here in a couple days.
There is further discussion as well at
<http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/accounting/gnucash.html>
The option appears in the book-level preferences, along with the
business-related fields. Right now, the tab is labeled "Accounts" with
"Trading Accounts" (as the only option so far) which left me puzzled.
Any better suggestions for these?
Now would be the time to make them, since they end up being both UI
strings, as well as the keys for the KVP data, so, once set, shouldn't
be changed (until there is some future support for decoupling the UI
label from the data key).
"Multi-Currency"
"Use trading accounts"
or
"Multi-Commodity"
"Use trading accounts"
make a little more sense to me, but even "Multi-Currency" is a tad long
(but do-able). Setting the tab label to something somewhat generic
provides a place for future book-level preferences that are related.
Suggestions welcomed,
Jeff
