Feature Request - Support for "Historical Cost" Exchange Rates and Automatic FX Gain/Loss Tracking

I often exchange CNY for foreign currencies in advance. I want my bookkeeping to reflect my actual exchange cost instead of the market's real-time rate. Proposed Workflow: 1. Exchange Record: Allow users to log a manual currency exchange (e.g., CNY to USD at a specific rate). 2. Expense Logging: When logging a foreign currency expense, the app should use that fixed historical rate. 3. Automatic Split: The system should automatically split the transaction into: • The Expense: The foreign amount converted to the default currency at the real-time rate. • FX Gain/Loss: A separate entry representing the difference between the real-time rate and my historical fixed rate.

Travel Mode

When traveling abroad, it takes waay to many taps to make an entry in another currency. Having used other finance trackers in the past like TravelSpend, I know this can work easier. Here are som suggestions to make entering expenses while abroad easier. Just one of these would improve a lot! Travel mode: let the default currency (with conversion)for new entries be a different than the Budget books’ currency. Easy to activate when travel start, then deactivate at the end of travel. New entry defaults to the last used currency (with conversion to budget book currency of course) New entry dialog defaults currency to the currency of the currency country according GPS. I think the middle one might be a good and easy option, just default new entry currency to be the last entry’s currency.
