Another related thought: Answering a dialog box every time one enters
a two-currency transaction is going to annoy anyone who has to enter
a bunch of such transactions. I can think of several ways of dealing
with that, in order of my preference: A radio button on the transfer
dialog whose last value is retained, an “always do this” checkbox
on the what to do with the rate dialog, or a preference setting.
Which do you prefer (ignore the problem is another option)?
Actually, I think "ignore the problem" is a reasonable approach in this
case. If we get the prices in the Price DB sorted out properly, then
the default in the transfer dialog will be correct in most cases which
means the extra work for the user resulting from showing it is minimal.
At least I wouldn't mind, and it would give me a chance to verify that
the price chosen made sense.
When I'm entering foreign currency purchases (e.g., using a CAD or GBP
credit card) that's pretty much what I do already. All my expense
accounts are USD and I update the Price DB daily so I generally just
accept the default conversion from the transfer dialog in this case.
It really doesn't slow me down much. I think the problem comes if the
default isn't good enough.
