Hi Guys

In 2.4/2.5 there was a feature that automatically converted from Region X RRP to your own locality. Has this feature gone or have I missed it somewhere?

Looks like it's gone, at least it's not where it used to be and I can't find it anywhere else. Possibly gone because they've removed the price finder functionality.

Like Lithurge I looked and couldn't find... doesn't seem to have moved over. Also as per Lithurge's assessment I suspect it's something to do with the Price Finder code having the currency converter info in it so with one gone so has the other.

FWIW it's one I didn't use but another one in the same area that's gone is the appending of the country to the prices, and I really miss this one because I now have quite a few putrchases that have an RRP in Canadian dollars and a price paid in US dollars (for example) and I can't tell from looking at the screen since they both just use the $ sign.

SRP is automatically locked in your local database, so you can change it as you like.  The old program did a conversion based on current exchange rates, which can become wildly inaccurate over time.  In 3.0, conversion is performed by flagging a range of profiles (generally by purchase date) and selecting Collection->Flagged->Adjust prices.  You can enter an appropriate conversion rate and select which currencies to convert, and whether to change SRP and/or purchase price.

Thanks Ken

It was confusing as I have a mix of region 1,2,3 & 4 which all have different default currencies.

Ken, after "Adjust prices", do the original values/currencies remian in the profile and the converted amount is added or will the conversion change the Purchase Amount or the profiles?

Thanks, Ken.

(Won't be using that feature then, I like my prices in their original currency...)

Hi Ken

When an update occurs to a region 1 DVD with a regional cost of $29 that I have already converted to £14.99 no lock is set and the update overwrites both the currency and value. Is this expected or have I read you statement wrong?
