As a workaround, the following pipe creates valid guids:

    jsled@phoenix [~]$ uuidgen |tr -d - | tr a-z A-Z

Comment 2 Richard Laager 2007-11-30 04:05:45 UTC 
Just curious... why are you uppercasing everything? The GUIDs in my GnuCash data file are all lowercase, at least from the few I looked at.
Comment 3 Josh Sled 2007-11-30 13:58:33 UTC 
brain fart ... I thought they were uppercase.  Personal preference for uppercase hex digits.
Comment 4 Andreas Köhler 2007-12-02 11:51:06 UTC 
http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/changeset/16603 should fix this issue.  I do not think a backport to branches/2.2 is really necessary.  If you need it desperately, shout out loud.

(15:54:04) warlord: Ahhhhhhhh!

I do not know whether this was intentional, though :-D

I nearly forgot it.  Next time I really should reopen this bug :-)
