This is a valid point personally it would be good for the app to have a secondary or third location to pull the currency conversation data incase your main site goes down, so the user seamlessy keeps working on that 2nd/3rd site and you can release an update to fix it (which there would be no real rush since the user is happily working).
Also i agree with the converstions for other measurements, if you built in a whole load of standard converstions like the iphone app "converter" you would have a very powerful all-in-one app.
Great work !!
The version 0.8-3, which I just uploaded to Extras-devel, includes the measurements unit conversions.

I will see if I have some time to play with 0.8-3 this weekend...

Works well here. Looks like the settings menu has been replaced - is good.
I also like the way you handled additional ("next") currencies. And adding basic unit conversions just swell

I forgot to mention that the latest version will again restore all settings to defaults, so you will lose the custom currencies. Sorry about that.

I just uploaded version 0.8-4 to Extras-devel. I made some changes/additions to the help files compared to 0.8-3. Also the help files are now context sensitive to the window.
As usual, feedback is appreciated.

The version 0.6-1 in Extras-testing has enough votes now. Thank you for voting.
I still need testers for version 0.8-4 that is in Extras-devel. I would be very grateful for any feedback.

As there has been requests to add some currencies that are pegged to the US Dollar, I made a new version (0.8-5). In this version there is a Pegged to the US Dollar toggle button in Currency Edit. With this feature the exchange rates are calculated automatically during update for custom currencies that are pegged to the US Dollar.
Unfortunately the autobuilder in maemo.org seems to be broken now, so I'm not able to upload it to Extars-devel. I will do it as soon as it works again. I will notify when it is successfully uploaded.

I played around with 0.8-3 a little this weekend. I have to say that I'm pretty impressed by the improvements since the last release. I like how you can save the currencies and unit conversions that you care about the most. The UI is clean and mostly intuitive.
The unit settings page was a little confusing at first, but I got the hang of it just by playing around with it. My sense is that you can probably leave the layout as is and see if the documentation is adequate. But if you are still getting feedback about the settings layout, you should consider adding headers (maybe in smaller font) to delineate the sections on the left-most column on the page.
Categories
Area
Length
Saved Conversions
Fahrenheit-Celsius
Mile per Hour - Kilometre...
I don't think it's necessary, though. As I said, I figured iout the layout just by playing around with it.
One other set of conversions you should consider implementing is clothing and shoe size conversions. I think that the tricky thing with that is that they may not have set conversion factors--I think you would have to rely on conversion tables for those cases.
Otherwise, great job!
