Hi!

I think you don't completely understand the way beancount works.

Nothing in beancount makes changes to the .beancount-files itself, only you do. All the beancount-tools (including bean-price) only read the file and process the information in some way.

If you want the price directives in your .beancount-file (which is totally reasonable), you have to copy-paste them in yourself.

A command like

bean-price file.beancount >> file.beancount

Will create new price directives and append them to your beancount file. Assuming you wrote all your commodity price metadata correctly.

Just be sure to remember both > otherwise you'll overwrite your entire beancount file. I use git to version my file so that I don't lose anything by accidental overwriting.
