precision in currency dialog for BTC accounts

[Felix Leimbach]

Hi Christian,

I had to edit the .kmy file directly and change the saf, ppu and scf properties of the BTC <CURRENCY> tag from 100 to 1000000.

I can't find a place to configure that in the GUI as the currency dialog only displays name, ID and symbol. The link [1] also does not mention decimal places.

It's working fine now but I'm wondering whether I'm missing a cleaner way than editing the XML?

Thanks
Felix
