Currency Converter — Convert between different currencies


Recommended Posts

Usage


Convert currencies via the cur keyword. Type a number to see all available currencies with their full name and code.

Type a currency code or name to filter.

Pressing ↩ on a partial match triggers the autocomplete. See all conversion targets when matching a unit exactly.

Type further to filter for target units. Connector words (“to”, “as”, “in”) are optional to help with readability.

hi, can you manage the list of favourite currencies? for example when I write "cur 42" i want to see the USD, EUR, JPY in that order, or I might need to add some currency to that list? for example CZK, how do I do that, pls? thx :)

Currencies bubble to the top as you pick them.

 

You can’t add your own currency, because the workflow supports everything that the API it’s using supports. This API was a conscious choice because it does not require users to register of mess with API keys.

Can this workflow be configured so that if I type a number and then a standard currency code (3-letter) followed by another code, it will activate?  I realize the calculator will first activate for any number entered first but if I were to follow it with two currency codes, could Alfred be made to recognize this?

 

For example:

 

123.45 USD EUR

 

...would mean:  How much is 123.45 US Dollars in Euros?

Hi Vitor, I ran into the 1st challenge as Orxion mentioned before, i.e. changing the order of the popular currencies to the top list, and your respond hasn't addressed that. Can you confirm if that's feasible please?

 

I've raised an issue at github, and details can be found @ https://github.com/alfredapp/currency-converter-workflow/issues/3

 

Thanks.

It did address it, it’s in the bit you quoted:

As you use the workflows, the currencies most picked go to the top. There is no manual ordering.

Please don’t repeat the same query across platforms. That makes more work for everyone, splits the discussion, and doesn’t get the issue looked at any sooner. Everyone loses.

Should’ve happened when the new exchange data was updated. It’s cached for 12 hours.

That's good to know that the caching period of the exchange data is 12 hours.

 

Does this imply that the ordering is dependent on the cached exchange data? I have tried removing and re-installing the workflow a number of times during my testing, but the order did not change.

 

If so, where is the cached data stored? and how can I manually reset it?

Only at the start, then after repeated use it bubbles the selections.

Thank you, Vitor. This is very helpful!
