Hi Guys, I had this problem too and I believe it was related to the Safari 4 Beta or 10.5.6. There's a solution, but it's not pretty. The fix is listed on Mac OS X Hints here http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090225162441861 and they believe it's 10.5.6 that causes this.
Here are their instructions, and all credit should go them: To fix this problem, make a copy of /Library/Widgets/Unit Converter.wdgt on your Desktop, Control-click on it and choose Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu, then open the UnitConverter.js file in a text editor. Search for "USD" (with the quotes). There should be only one matching line: if (a.iso == "USD") return -1; Delete this line. Then, delete the else at the start of the next line, i.e. change the line from this... else if (a.name < b.name) return -1; ...to this... if (a.name < b.name) return -1; Save the changes and close the document. I suggest keeping the original widget in /Library/Widgets, and installing the corrected version in ~/Library/Widgets, so that the system's version remains untouched. This fixed the AUD - USD problem - not sure about the others though Goodluck Chris. > From: Adrian Skehan <adrianske...@mac.com> > Reply-To: WAMUG Mailing List <wamug@wamug.org.au> > Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2009 09:15:07 +0900 > To: WAMUG Mailing List <wamug@wamug.org.au> > Subject: Re: Apple's currency converter widget playing up > > If you go the other way AU$1 = US$1 and if you put US$ on both sides > $1 = $0.028 > > > Regards, > > Adrian > > adrianske...@me.com > http://www.skehan.id.au/ > > On 15/03/2009, at 1:04 AM, Wendy S.
