Currencies
Account currencies
Squirrel manage transactions amounts at two levels: the account's currency and the application's base currency. You usually edit amounts in the account's currency. Squirrel then automatically calculate how much the transaction is worth in your base currency. The algorithm used to achieve this is fairly complex but relies on simple rules to reflect how much a transaction in a foreign currency is really worth.
The base currency
Squirrel uses the base currency to display general information. Amounts displayed in the base currency are: - the total balance in the accounts list - amounts in reports - amounts in budgets - transactions amounts in folders
This currency is the same as OS X's default currency.
Change the base currency
Open OS X's System Preferences.
Click on the "Language & Text" icon.
Click on the "Region" tab.
Select a different region, or change the currency directly.
The selected region should match the part of the world you live in. This region determines the date, time and number formats used throughout the operating system. You can customize any of those formats, and particularly select the currency you want.
