[Kmymoney] Reports/Currency problem

[Shane Rice]

Ok, sorry for my complete ignorance on all this.  I have finally got all 
my accounts setup, and I think something isn't right.  I live and work 
in Peru, so my day to day expenses are all in PEN.  However my reports 
all have to be filled out in US$.  So I have one cash account (Soles in 
PEN) and all the rest of my accounts are in US$.  When I do my report, 
it mixes the PEN with the $ and throws off the report.  So I must be 
missing something.

I also noticed on the home page it reports Soles as though it is US$ 
even though it says PEN, it calculates the total as though it were a 
1=1.    Admittedly when I imported my accounts it was a quite a bit of 
work, and I opened the .kmy file with a text editor, and manually 
changed the 'Soles' cash account to PEN, that was because all the 
amounts were in Soles, and I couldn't change it from within the 
program.  My question is this: When working with two currencies, 
shouldn't one currency be recorded in that currency?  I read the chapter 
on working with currencies, but it doesn't really explain much.  It 
doesn't explain how to enter a transaction in a foreign currency.  I 
would greatly appreciate any help with this, because I'm having a 
difficult time understanding how this is supposed to work.  I do have 
version 4.6 installed.

Let me give a small example of how I think it should work:

Home Page view
Cash Account $10
Soles Account PEN  10
Total Assets - $13                   (1USD=3PEN in this simplistic example)


Mine is showing like this:
Home Page
Cash Account $10
Soles Account PEN 10
Total = $20

I really appreciate any help offered in this as I really need to get 
this fixed!  Thanks!!!
