Balance report uses current exchange rate for past periods

[Brunker]

Dear All,

I keep my accounts in two currencies: USD by default and a local currency. Thus some of my bank accounts are in USD and some are in local currency. For every transaction involving local currency I enter a conversion rate, which may be different for every transaction even on the same day.

I found that for the Bank column in a monthly Balance report, iCash ignores conversion rate provided in transaction and calculates using exchange rate from Currencies window, which makes this column useles.

Is there any rationale behind or this is a bug?

I also have a suggestion for developers: some reports, such as P&L details report, which invove accouns in different curriencies show the account balance in the corresponding currency and total in the default currency. It would be much easier to understand such reports, if the amount is shown in both account currency and default currency.

About the problem, what report are you using?

About your suggestion, I take note. What reports are they?

The problem report is Balance summary. I user Russian version of iCash, here it named "–°–≤–æ–¥–∫–∞ –ø–æ –±–∞–ª–∞–Ω—Å—É" "–ï–∂–µ–º–µ—Å—è—á–Ω–æ"

An example of report with multiple currencies is Profit and Loss statement, Details. In Russian: "–í—ã–ø–∏—Å–∫–∞ –ø–æ –¥–æ—Ö–æ–¥–∞–º –∏ —Ä–∞—Å—Ö–æ–¥–∞–º" "–î–µ—Ç–∞–ª–∏"

if you tell me, how can I change language, I would provide proper names of the reports in English.
