li works because it represents an integral number. ld does not work because it represents a decimal number. Telling gnucash to expect a decimal number here wouldn't make sense, so number formats with such a format specifier are rejected. I wish gnucash would give a better hint as to whether the format passed in by the user is accepable or not. We're sometimes rather poor at guiding feedback :( Geert _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
