include conversions like volume, mass, length, area, currency

[Klaus Buchmann]

Hi there,
it's not so much a problem, but rather a few suggestions as to increase the possibilities of this calculator.
It's fine as it is now but maybe in a next release you could add a few useful features like conversions.
E.g. Currency, length, area, volume and mass.
If i input 1 mile and want to know how many kilometers or yards or meters it is. Or if i input 1 gallon, how many quarts, liters or cubic feet this is and so on.
Hope it helps.
Best regards

This is now implemented in the version in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid). The conversions currently have to be typed by hand (e.g. "1cm in inches") but a GUI version is planned for later releases. Thanks for your bug report!
