07:07:04 <chris> cdb-man: up to you... there are also flatpak nightlies

07:08:06 <chris> I may be misguided (not involved in infra) but IMO using WSL2 means more reliance on Microsoft and less reliance on MINGW team, and it seems MS is behaving this decade

14:26:58 <jralls> Caleb_W, I guess I confused you a bit with how I used "realize the gains". Assume your home currency is USD and the foreign one is CAD. When you have a USD->CAD transaction (even if the USD side is Equity including income and expense) you're opening a position in CAD and when you do a CAD->USD transaction (again, even if it's Equity on the US side) you're closing (perhaps part of) the CAD position and creating a realized
14:26:58 <jralls> gain.
14:29:07 <jralls> You now have an imbalance in the amount of the gain (which might be negative, i.e. a loss) that you need to record as income to resolve the imbalance just like you do when you sell stock.
14:51:42 <jralls> @tell chris It looks like you have three files named that. Hover over each one and note the full path in GnuCash's status bar.

15:04:16 <jralls> CDB-Man Flatpaks run well in WSL so you can use those nightlies. WSL is a virtual machine environment whose display is nicely integrated with Windows. You'd need to learn a little bit of Linux to get it set up and to update GnuCash, but once you have that down it wouldn't be any more trouble than the regular Windows GnuCash.

20:16:47 <Caleb_W> I think this is a bug. I can create a minimal example in which currency conversion per se does not break the trial balance. But additional stock trades with those currencies would break the trial balance. The unrealized gain in the balance sheet should be the correct one.
