Currency Converter 0.6-1

Currency converter with unit converter and a simple calculator The main feature of this application is a currency converter with more than 70 currencies. The exchange rates for these currencies are automatically updated from the internet. There is a possibility to store preferred currencies for faster access. Custom currencies can also be created. If these custom currencies are pegged to the Euro or the US Dollar, their exchange rates will be recalculated automatically during updates. All currencies can be edited manually. The inbuilt unit converter includes the most common units for measuring area, length, mass, speed, temperature and volume. As with currencies, the preferred units too can be stored for faster access. Most of the basic calculations can be done with the inbuilt calculator, which includes buttons for adding the tax (VAT) and the tip.

@Martin That is strange, because both the European Central Bank and Time Genie have it as CNY. Are you sure?

The sign for Chinese Yuan is RMB, not CNY.

@Emanuele Maybe, I'm not sure. It depends what I'm going to do in the next release. Is there some currency still missing?

Works very well. If I set a custom currency, will it be erased on the installing of the next release?

This update has mainly added more currencies. For those additional currencies www.timegenie.com is used to retrieve the exchange rates. Also credit to Time Genie and ECB has been added to About dialog. Finally the font size of Help files has been changed.

Note: This update will reset everything to default if updating from a previous version. That is, all the custom currencies will be lost. Then again, it has now more than 70 currencies, so probably the needed currencies are already there. ;-)
