Description Eric Bayard 2012-04-02 22:03:59 UTC
I have 2 account one in different currency,
when I enter a transfer between the 2 accounts say from euro to pound I can type the amount in euro and then give the corresponding amount in pound. when I type the amount in pound the computer computes the exchange rate.
However it also discards what I entred in pound. What I entred in pound is replaced by the value in euro*computed rate. 

But the exchange rate is not precise enough it is truncated to 5 digit exemple : 1pound=1.4979euro
if you transfer anything above a 1000 pound or euro you precision is 10 cens and it is not enough
it get worse if you have yens  as 1000 yen are about 1 pound or 100 yuan 1 pound
there are plenty of example like that where Kmymoney gets completly unusable.

2 solutions : increase the resolution of the exchange rate or discard it when the values of the transfer are both entred by the user.

regards

Did you know, that you can change the number of significant digits for price information in the settings dialog yourself? Does that solve your problem?

Have you tried the suggestion above?
