If base currency is not KRW, Update Stock and Currency Prices works fine. When base currency is KRW, it doesn't work. Linux Package also doesn't work. The list shows only 1 line, like this: > units in Yahoo Currency If I click Update All button, it generates an error: Failed to retrieve an exchange rate for > from Yahoo Currency. It will be skipped this time. and Status frame shows: Fetching URL ... Malformed URL . Unable to update price for > (empty quote data) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Tools > Currencies > Select KRW as base currency. 2. Launch Update Stock and Currency Prices window in Tools menu. 3. Problem will be reproduced. Actual Results: The list shows nothing and update button generates an error. Expected Results: The list prints price list and get values from source, then update prices. Using standalone installer in Windows. Linux package has same bug.
Exact same issue with the Canadian dollar as default currency.
Workaround: I use "yahoo currency" to retrieve the quotes. Changing the default URL in "configure -> kmymoney -> online quotes -> yahoo currency" from "http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=%1%2=X&f=sl1d1" to "http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=%1CAD=X&f=sl1d1" fixed the Canadian dollar issue. I imagine for the south korean won that "http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=%1KRW=X&f=sl1d1" would do the trick as well.
That one line showing only a '>' has recently been fixed. Yahoo does not provide the service anymore, so I close this here. If the problem still exists in 5.0 please open a new entry.
