Hi Stephane,

The solution you propose might work to help users solve the display issue at
the dashboard level but I don't think it's really solving the root cause.

There are 2 problems related to number of decimals:

1 - Problem in Units module:
- Users need to be able to input exchange rate with more than the 2 decimals
display (for most currencies)
- The system is actually already able to do that but since the display is
following the number of decimals, nobody knows this
- When you know it, it's somehow still a problem because when you want to see
the past exchange rates you input in the system, you need to change the number
of decimals to be able to see them correctly, then put it back to 2 when you
are done.

Whoever needs to use multi-currency in Skrooge will face this issue. For those
first time testing Skrooge, it's a blocker.

2 - Problem in Operations:
- In operations, unlike in Unit module, I am not sure if there is a valid
scenario where users need to be able to input more decimals than what is
configured in the system (but I am not an advanced user, I could be wrong).
What is sure is that allowing the user to input more decimals than what is
visible is source of problem, like what is happening in the dashboard.


The solution you propose only tries to solve the problem #2.
Since I am not sure if that use case should be allowed by skrooge, I don't know
if your solution is okay or not. It doesn't feel right to me though.

But the problem I am describing in this bug report is the problem #1 which is
think is more important than problem #2 as it will impact more users and is
really a blocker for those who need to deal with multi-currencies.

Since the solutions I proposed last time is not acceptable due to technical
reason (see my merge request:
[https://invent.kde.org/office/skrooge/-/merge_requests/17]), I could propose
another one (less nice but it would do the job):
- Add another field to specify how many decimals you want to display for
exchange rate
- Display the exchange rate following that setting
Let me know if this solution would be acceptable to you. Tks
