Re: [GNC-dev] Import of prices in CSV files

I think in general the proposed solution is quite close to what I would 
like to achieve.

I have a follow-up question though:
Is it possible to use something else than the "Symbol" for matching the 
security? For example the cusip (ISIN, WKN, identifier..) would be a 
great thing.

Best,
Thomas
