| | Posted: | | | | Just a small addition would make DVD Profiler a little better ..  Ok, so since I occasionally buy something from other region shops than euro, it would be nice if you could set up a "default currency" for each retailer ! For example, If I order from US based shop, the default currency would be $US, if from UK then £ etc.. |

| | Posted: | | | | Now tell me how this would be implemented. For example Wal-Mart is a US company but it has stores all over the world. So whose default currency would be used.

| | Posted: | | | | Simple. As the user creates the retailer, they can enter the currency. not exactly rocket science. Just make it local data, just like the retailer is anyway. | | |

| | Posted: | | | | I whole-heartedly agree with this request; enable the user to associate a currency (something else than the default) with any retailer. I buy most of my DVDs/BDs from the UK (GBP), some from the US (USD), and my local currency is Euro (EUR). Not that this is a major problem, but per-retailer currency would make life a little bit easier |

| | Posted: | | | | +1 from me, would be very useful for those of us who import a lot.
edit: *boggle* Just realized this request is from 2007. No matter though, it's a good one and deserves the bump. | | | Tags, tags, bo bags, banana fana fo fags, mi my mo mags, TAGS!

| | Posted: | | | | Seems like a good idea to me, but only if that setting isn't mandatory, as I sometimes pay in different currencies with the same retailer, depending on the exchange rate:
e.g.:
- Amazon offers me the choice to pay in USD or in Euro
- Axelmusic offers me the choice to pay in USD or CAD | | | Blu-ray collection

... Exactly; just let the user specify a default currency for a retailer and allow the currency to be changed from that default at the time of entering the actual purchase information. | | | | Last edited: by Ranavalone |

And of course, any default setting can be overridden. I think this is a great idea, in all its simplicity (compared to redoing cast/crew that is). | | | | Hans | | | | Last edited: by Staid S Barr |

I think this is a great idea, in all its simplicity (compared to redoing cast/crew that is). True, but Taro described a different situation: e.g. Amazon US let's a European customer choose the currency (USD or EUR) at checkout time. One retailer - two currencies. | | | | Last edited: by Ranavalone |

| | Posted: | | | | Not sure why this is such a big deal. The request was for a configurable default currency per retailer. You have to change the currency quite often today if you buy from different countries. This may not eliminate that 100%, but it will go a long way towards that. So you may still have to change currency in a few cases. Is that a problem?  | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.
