NOTE: This enhancement request was also submitted as GnuCash bug #792289
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795589
1. It might be useful for Finance::Quote to be able to retrieve
individual quotes rather than quotes for all securities tagged
(in the Securities Editor). Perhaps a new button "Get Selected
Quotes" could be provided on the Price Editor dialog.
This could be useful to recover from a failure to retrieve quotes
for one or two securities, rather than having to start over and
retrieve everything again.
2. Additionally, when there are a lot of quotes being gathered, it
can take quite some time. It would be useful to provide some
indication of progress (either a progress bar, or display which
security is currently being processed). This will give the user
some indication that it's actually working, and some idea on how
much longer it might take.
3. Finally, it would be useful to be able to Cancel the retrieval of
quotes; if there are a lot of them, the user might want to retry
later, especially if there is substantial network congestion! The
ability to Cancel should also have an option to store or discard
any quotes already retrieved.
