Reducing visual discrepancies between operating and non-operating currencies in graph

[Donearm]

Hi,

I have 3 operating currencies, EUR, PLN and USD, and the occasional other ones, mostly due to trips I do. Recently I added a few expenses in IDR, which operates in hundred of thousands and millions. Compared to the operating currencies' much smaller digits, the graph looks like this:

The small dot on the bottom right are the recent expenses in IDR (about 17M). Is there a way to ignore a currency in a graph when at cost? Scaling it to others will never work due to the big difference. Is there any other solution already implemented?

Thank you

No, sadly Fava doesn't deal too well with these sorts of situations.

I think allowing toggling of certain currencies (for example by clicking on the currency name in the chart legend) from the charts would be a valuable addition that would solve this sort of problem. A PR implementing this would be welcome :)

Wish I was skilled enough in TS (and not super-busy) to do a PR myself :) I guess it would be even simpler to have an option to include only operating currencies in the graphs. That would suffice.

Might not be a perfect solution, but could be a workaround: since a) Beancount does not care about actual currencies, b) For one-off situations you likely would not use price fetchers, c) I've just checked and 1 EUR is like 16,000 IDR

You could create a phony currency like TIDR such that 1 TIDR = 10,000 IDR and use that in your entries, such that Account:A -17,543,500 IDR becomes Account:A -1,754.35 TIDR

Personally I'm in a similar situation, using EUR, USD and another currency that produces amounts that are orders of magnitude more, and I don't use "at cost" view altogether since numeric comparison of such vastly different values is useless, only "converted to" makes sense to me in this case

Thanks for the idea @marvin-yorke. Personally I have opted to convert all those expenses in IDR to EUR for the time being (there are about 25 of them, not so much work once in a blue moon). Your workaround is cleaner though. If I happen to travel to another country with high-inflationary currency, I will opt for a phony currency until a fix is implemented.
