Hi,

When you add UK Stock Prices they come through is £s rather than pence.

Looking at KMyMoney they seem to solve this by the following method on the Stock Update options screen:

Factor. A multiplier that should be applied to quotes retrieved for this investment. This is most commonly needed for UK stocks where the price quoted is in pence (1/100), and the stock is denominated in pounds. In this case, enter 0,01 for the Factor.

Thanks

Peter Jones

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add UK Stock such as DXNS.L
2. Update Prices
3. Price comes through is £30, rather than £0.30 (Based on today's price)

The soluce

With Skrooge, you can:
1-Define a new unit named "Pence" relatively to "British Pound Sterling (GBP)" with the value 0.01
2-Define a new unit named "DXNS.L" relatively to "Pence"

Than, as on screen capture, the value 29 "Pence" will be downloaded. 
This value is equal to 0.29 £.

I will close this bug. Reopen it if you are not satisfied with this answer.
