Multi Currency feature

[GrandpaKim]

In your release notes:

"Currently, the conversion rate used is the previous day's rate (this is automatically downloaded for you by PT3). We plan on offering you different methods of applying conversion rates in the near future."

As stated above, you may already have this concept instituted or are planning for it in future but I will mention it anyway.

When conversions are made, are they made over the whole database? That 100 euros I won a couple years ago may have converted to 65 dollars at that time, but today may convert to 75 dollars. You can see that significant inaccuracies will creep in if the entire database is converted everyday. After the first conversion, it woud be much better if only today's session is converted and earlier conversions are left untouched. (As people move money around in various currencies things get even more tangled, but I hardly expect PT to have to worry about that.)

This may seem a niggling detail but not long ago the Canadian dollar was worth about .65 US dollars; today it is hunting around par. That is significant.

That's the sort of thing which is planned.
I don't have the full detail yet but as I understand it there will be options to apply different rates to different dates / date ranges / etc.

It's definitely not a niggle. We agree that date based conversion is very important. The current support is just a preview so that we can test the database upgrades, the rate downloading, and a few other internals. Future betas will give you control over the historical rates used and also allow you to set custom rates.

I can get this to work at all. everythíng shows in dollar. Imported a boss session that should be in skr, under General tab i says kr but in graph its $. Then i configured currency to skr, but it shows $ in winnings and graph. I ewen restarted PT3 several times and it made no differance. Is there something moore i hawe to do?

Are you using v3.07?

The new currency support is only in the new stats so far - Amount Won (native/global). The graph is still shown in $, and you will need to add those stats to the reports if you want to see your currency results.

Please attach a few hand history files and a screenshot of your problem to a Support ticket so that we can investigate.

If you import hands in SKR and then set your currency to SKR then nothing very interesting will happen. The exchange rate from SKR to SKR will always be 1.

Can you describe what you are expecting to happen in this situation? The currency feature is for people who play hands and want to see their results in a different currency.
