Bug Description
My accounts are defined in local (i.e. not EUR) currency. This is the manual case of "in waiting a future switch to euro currency, euro is then minor, and your national currency is major". But in Edit/Preference
The effect I'd like to achieve is as follows:
- almost all of my accounts are in local currency;
- one or two accounts are in EUR;
- EUR is defined as minor currency in Preferences;
- when pressing Ctrl-M (Euro minor switch) all display values are recalculated to EUR except EUR accounta;
- for best results, recalculation should be performed with online exchange rates (if available).
HomeBank version 5.8

I have made this feature when historical country already switched to EUR, so they were major.
This is what the preset country have to be used for, just after the switch, for people to get back to FRF, DEM.
Meanwhile, internally this feature just apply an exchange rate to amount: amount * exchangerate, and format using what you have input.
So for example, in you live in Denmark:
1DKK = 0.13 EUR
So just input 0.13 in the exchange rate
and deploy format > customize to input € symbol and other stuff.

I should probably:
- document this more clearly
- make a FAQ
- rework the interface to be more accurate for this use case
