Working with multi-currency

[tuzim]

I have one doubt in multi-currency:

- What's is your suggestion to me, because I always work with multi-currencies... I go to a trip at least twice in a month, and I use a lot of different currencies on these trips... my default is USD, but i need to control my incoming and outgoing money (sometimes is in EUR, CHF, BRL, HKD and some others)... instead of the software have that two fields to you fill up the rate, don't you think is better has a selection box just after the field "amount" to you select which currency you want to input, and also, a field that automatically fill up the rate used (and this field can be modified to you select different rates) and then, on the report, you would see in which currency you've received the money (or paid it), and with rate was used (the one that the software suggest or the one entered by you)? Or even have two fields of "which currency", to you select in which currency you've received (or paid) and also the one that you want to put on the system?

Just some suggestions... i think can make the software easier to use...

Anyway, after answer my questions above (will be great if you do it =]), you can let me know: to I use different currencies account (as incoming and outgoing), should i use something like:

EXPENSE - CAR RENT (EUR)
EXPENSE - CAR RENT (CHF)
EXPENSE - CAR RENT (USD)
EXPENSE - CAR RENT (BRL)
EXPENSE - CAR RENT (HKD)

EXPENSE - FOOD (EUR)
EXPENSE - FOOD (CHF)
EXPENSE - FOOD (USD)
EXPENSE - FOOD (BRL)
EXPENSE - FOOD (HKD)

INCOMING - SELLS (EUR)
INCOMING - SELLS (CHF)
INCOMING - SELLS (USD)
INCOMING - SELLS (BRL)
INCOMING - SELLS (HKD)

should i use something like this?

anyway, thanks in advance for any answer

Right now the currency of a transaction is always the currency of the origin account. I am not sure whether the possibility to select any currency is a good idea but I take note.
