            Bug ID: 350905
           Summary: Currency of categories cannot be changed
           Product: kmymoney4
           Version: 4.6.6
          Platform: Debian unstable
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: francois at fmarier.org

When a category is created, it gets assigned a currency (by default, the base
currency). Changing the base currency doesn't impact old categories, it only
impacts new ones. It's also not possible to change the currency of existing
categories.

This is a problem for people who initially setup their personal finance while
in Europe and then later move to the US. It seems like this is a use case that
should be supported and not force someone to start a new .kmy file from
scratch.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new file with EUR as the base currency.
2. Create a new "EUR Account" checking account with EUR as the currency and an
initial balance of 10 EUR.
3. Create a new "USD Account" checking account with USD as the currency and an
initial balance of 10 USD (exchange rate of 2 USD to 1 EUR).
4. Add a transaction in that account for 10 USD on 2015-08-02 with "Meal" as
the category.
5. Change the base currency to USD.
6. Add a transaction in the "USD Account" for 5 USD with "Meal" as the
category.
7. Notice that you are ask to confirm the exchange rate even though the base
category is now USD.
8. Add a transaction in that account for 5 USD on 2015-08-02 with "Drink" as
the category.
9. You are not asked for the exchange rate because that new category has been
created with a currency of USD.
