I've noticed that when you add a new currency you have to do it via the Euro to other currency (which isn't a problem at all and only took a couple of seconds for me to figure out). Also, the date that it shows when you start it is the last exchange rate update I am assuming.

I don't know what else to ask for in such an application.

You've done an awesome job! :)
Thanks!!!!!

Thanks! :)

Yes, you seem to have figured out most of the things by yourself. ;) I'm just about to start writing the help files for it, but I'm lacking inspiration. :rolleyes: Once they are eventually done, I can finally promote this to Extras-testing.

And yes, the Euro is the base value, since it updates via ECB. That is why it does not allow to change or delete it.

Re: Qt Project: Currency Converter

Nice application :)

Enhancement Request: the Tax Rate could accept 2 decimal points. Since in USA - California its 9.25 - 9.75% depends on location.
So currently I can only enter 9.7

Thanks :)

Done! :)

I also added now a check box called "Auto Upd." to select whether automatic update during start-up is wanted.

These features are available in version 0.4-1, which should be now in Extras-devel. :)

Now if I only could write the help file... Anyone feels like writing one? :p

Re: Qt Project: Currency Converter

I've grabbed the latest version and its looking great. I am willing to write a help file. If you could point me in the direction of an example that you would like to use as a template, I'll do what I can. :)

You can add it yourself. Click on Settings > Edit > click on the field next to Currency and enter 'VND' > click on the field next to Rate and enter '26493.77' > click on the field next to Description and enter 'Vietnam Dong' > finally click on Add

VND will now be on your list of currencies.

I got the 26493.77 exchange rate (1 euro to dong) from here: http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi?Am...2&image=Submit

I would need some simple html pages. Basically a structure like this:

Main page

Short explanation of the app.

Links:

Converting currencies
Updating
Settings
Editing currencies

----------------------------------

All those link pages would need a little how-to explanations.

You can install my Countdown Timer to see how I've done it. It's in Extras-testing.

If you can do this, I would really appreciate it. :)

Are you running the latest version? See for updates in Extras-devel.

Can you tell me exactly what you did? What were the currencies you were using? Can you replicate the error?

Thank you for your feed back. :)

Re: Qt Project: Currency Converter

The latest version (0.4-2) is now available in Extras-testing. Here is the talk link for the the application thread.
