Hi team, I have a multi-currency setup so when I run reports (Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss, Trial Balance) I click on options -> commodities -> and tick "Show Foreign Currencies" and "Show Exchange Rates".
Back in v3 of gnucash, these would display with 2 decimal places (the same number of decimal places as Edit -> Preferences -> Numbers -> Decimal Places). Now in v4.2 of gnucash, these Exchange Rates display with 4 decimal places with the last two places zero so the number displayed is still effectively rounded to 2 decimal places. But the Price Database from where these exchange rates are extracted holds them to 6 decimal places and it does seem as though the currency conversions in the report line items do honour the 6 decimal places exchange rates. So you could argue: -1- listing an exchange rate of $1.6300 instead of the rate actually used of 1.627650 is misleading or -2- wouldn't it be helpful to have a separate setting for number of decimal places to display exchange rates (defaulting to 4 as seems to be hinted at in the change from v3 to v4 of gnucash). [I know those big City types who boast of making their living on the fifth decimal place would probably appreciate it]. Anyway, what do you think?
