Hi,

Do search already, up to 10 pages, but can't find it.

Does anyone know the today plugin to show latest currency exchange that syncing/updated to some website or server when connected to the internet?

Thx.

There's one here...

But I swear I'd seen another one as well that showed little flags (not the Euro converter one).. hmm

Thanks ZeBoxx for fast reply,

Actually, I forgot to mention, I prefer freeware. But thanks anyway.

There is currency converter 2005, which is no today screen plugin, and use bulky .net framework 2 to run (that's another story).

Thanks!

I'm using PocketXchange myself - free, and does internet updates as well. However, no Today plugin.

Then again, I have yet to donate (on my to-do list.. still evaluating software before hard-resetting my Wizard and doing a clean install + backup) - so I doubt they'd make one just for me ;)

Edit: really not spotting anything, not even in the commercial apps section (other than the aforementioned). Best idea might be to write Lou of EuroToday ( http://www.louterrailloune.com/index_old.php?page=eurotoday ) and see if he could make it be non-euro-centric, and allow grabbing rates off the internet (or hook into the rates file that pocketXchange or so creates). Note that EuroToday already allows you to set up a custom currency - so if you don't mind updating manually, it already fits the bill.

ZeeBoxx,

Just found KabuToday v2.1.

I haven't explore it yet, but from the review, it does have a foreign exchange rate, update from internet, today screen plugin.

But it is also have stock market, that I don't care (and like to remove it). Hopefully there is an option to remove it.

Let me play a while before report it here again.

Yes,

It does have an option to hide Stock display. Meaning it is configurable to only for Foreign Exchanges.

The problem is, it is most for Japan currency to others. USD is very limited to fews countries only. If you live in Singapore, SGD can not have direct currency with others countries. Must via JPY :cry: .

Also, we can't change label. It is always shown the latest country. I.e: JPY/SGD will shown SGD only. Quite confusing.

I email the author, hopefully he is willing to do something on it.

It is quite simple and run smooth also on my magician. Only, it didn't create any folder to contain the files for KabuToday, so it spread over magician's memory. Only .cab provided.
