Hi Mark


This is suggestion for optional simple feature to show in the title bar or perhaps change the background color of the portfolio editor depending if the Exchange Rate Adjuted is turned on or off



Why?

Have multiple currency exposures to worry about and not always the most alert when updating the tool

Easy to forget which is which after a long day and checking the figures.
Been several times had re-check

I know also possible to go to "View" and see if the small tick is marked next to Exchange Rate Adjusted

Why not have a slight grey (or green, or purple??) tinge background

Hi marathon,

I agree it would be better to make this more obvious, and we do have plans to address this in the next major update. I'm thinking more along the lines of a dedicated status bar pane displaying this information though.
Thanks,
Mark

great...looking forward to the next update


just consider the use case

it's 10pm after a long day, and need to update another portfolio, eyes are tired and easy to miss things

so the best system is one that is dummy proof

then even i have a chance to use it correctly :-)
