Package: GnuCash Severity: normal Version: 1.7.7 Synopsis: Currency selection should do autocompletion Bugzilla-Product: GnuCash Bugzilla-Component: User Interface General Description: The currency selection dialog should allow for typing in the field to autoselect from the dropdown list. First the International Prefs currency dialog allows for typing in the field, but doesn't select from the list, this is confusing to the user and should just autocomplete to a currency in the list. Then if the above autocomplete's we probably should do the same with the dialog to select a currency in edit account. (Select Currency) ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2003-01-07 17:16 ------- Reassigning to the default owner of the component, hampton@employees.org.
Unfortunately the simple setting of gtk_combo_box_set_value_in_list() does not limit the typing only to entries in the list. What we really need to do is implement a GtkCombo subclass that incorporates the QuickFill.[ch] code. Then we can use it in a number of places (the currency selection being one of them, the gnc-account-sel being another).
Punting for the future.

The UI component in the Asset account definition appears to meet the spirit of this request, while the Default Currency in settings does not. Can settings be changed to behave the same as Asset account definition?
Yes they can. Your PR does so and is merged for GnuCash 4.2.
