Most of the time, I'm happy with the Quick Convertion Direction setting I set, but sometimes, I want it the other way around. It's a hassle to go into the PowerToys settings to change it, only to have to change it back once I'm done with my search.

I'd love being able to invert the convertion direction on-the-fly. I'm not 100% sure what the most intuitive way to use it is, but my suggestion is to precede your number amount with a minus(-) sign.

So say that my normal Quick Convertion Direction would be set to 'From local to global' and my local currency is EUR and global is USD, doing a normal search like: "$ 100" would give me a currency conversion of EUR to USD. When I would do a search like this: "$ -100" would give me a currency conversion of USD to EUR.

Hope this makes sense, love the latest update, this is already the best currency converter I've used.

Assuming the intent of converting something quickly is to convert from a home curency (SGD in this example) to other currencies (USD, EUR in this example):
It gets confusing when I see 13.77 EUR and 18.63 EUR. I need to spend a minute or more to see which direction and what amount is being converted.

MacOS does it well: https://techstacker.com/static/1785b23e59320ecd54efe14e0880a579/bfdc0/mac-spotlight-search-currency-conversion.png

Current UI (ignore the red box):

It would be convenient to get both directions when using the quick conversions.

Example:

The Quick Conversion Direction setting could be used to select which direction to display first.

Hi!

After installing the plugin and restarting PowerToys I get this error:

Message: Can't create instance for <Currency Converter> in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\Plugins\currency-converter\PowerToysRunCurrencyConverter.dll

Some websites display currencies as "EUR 1" instead of 1 EUR. The suggestion here is to support "eur 1" and "eur 1 to usd" for ease of use.

Option to use the following in currency converter: +-*/

$$ 50+200+34 usd to eur

$$ (50+60-5)*2 eur to usd

When entering a currency amount with a comma (e.g., $35,00 USD), the conversion tool ignores the comma, leading to incorrect results.

windows 11 Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3527)
sys language: eng, installation lang: ukrainian

Some files in the release zip archive, currency-converter.zip v1.0.1, is unnecessary:

• PowerToys.Common.UI.dll
• PowerToys.ManagedCommon.dll
• PowerToys.Settings.UI.Lib.dll
• Wox.Infrastructure.dll
• Wox.Plugin.dll

I would like to use the plugin with "Include in global result" enabled, but the plugin very often outputs the "Invalid expression provided (Please check your mathematical expression)" list item, which I don't want to see.

Ideally there should be a setting to either suppress this message. I don't want the plugin nagging me that unrelated input is not something it can convert.

Hi, would it be possible to add the following things?

• Load "currencies.json" from a local file. It can just be inside the plugin folder
• Support aliases. I keep typing EURO or EU and always forget it's EUR. Would be nice if I could add my own aliase to some of the currencies. Or maybe just support fuzzy search on the current ones.

Thanks!

I'd like the option to add more currencies that immediately show up in the results.

After installing the plugin, the theme is a little different than it used to be.

Before installing plugin:

After installing plugin:

Notice the background/theme/color scheme of the search result or whatever it is called.

While it is not a big problem in itself, but I'd like it if the theme or the colors are not changed

I don't have a good knowledge about C# or .NET but upon looking the code, couldn't find a reason why this is happening. I thought of building one myself having this plugin as a reference but since I couldn't find why this is happening, I didn't proceed further

I'd like if this issue is fixed and released because this is really useful and handy
