All, the price editor currently is able to retrieve today's stock quote for the price db. Sometimes it can be useful to retrieve stock quotes for a specified historic date, e.g. to update the prices for the last day of the financial year as a basis for reporting using the "Nearest in time" price source.
I'd like to suggest to add this feature by introducing a new pop-up window with a date selector to the "Get Quotes" button (similar to the "remove old" pop-up). I understand that there is an example script delivered with GnuCash to serve a similar purpose, i.e. retrieving a series of quotes over a given time-period, so obviously the Finance::Quote part is able to handle historic data as well. If this is considered a worthwhile enhancement I'd be happy to assist in implementation. Unfortunately, however, I figured out that the relevant part is scripted in Scheme. While I do have some (long-forgotten) experience with C, that scm language thing looks quite cryptic to me. Nevertheless if someone was willing to adapt the scheme part I'd like to try my best in supporting the C development part as much as possible... Thanks for listening.
