[Feature request] Currency symbol in transactions

[gnought]

I think it is good for prefixing amount with currency symbol such that it is not necessary to check in the account properties window. Faster and accuracy play.

Oops, I don't understand what your feature request is. Can you explain?

 

[gnought]

in transactions tab,
for example we enter $45.00 for an account in US currency, then the $45.00 will be displayed as US$45.00. If we enter $30.00 for another account in CAD currency, then the $30 will be displayed as CAD$30.00.

I still don't understand. What are you expecting or looking for? You should not add any currency symbol when you add an amount. Currency is added later following your settings.

I got multi-currency accounts and entered transactions with amount as usual. I didn't enter the currency symbol before the amount.
I hope the currency could be found in a straight forward way in the transaction tab if the transactions are involved in a lot of multi-currency accounts.
Up to v6.6, I need to open the corrosponding account properties / the account manager to check.

Actually it is automatic, it is explained here.

Maybe the attached screenshot will explain more what i mean.

 

[stanbusk]

Do you mean writing USD OR CAD as is in the amount field? :shock:

 

[gnought]

Yes, it will be more clear that the amount is in which currency rather than checking the properties of the account.

I take note of your request.
