View update logs

When Currency Assistant updates rates, it logs results so that you can easily find out if any currencies couldn’t be updated and why.

To view logs:

Choose Window > Logs.

Each log contains a header with the date and time of the update, a body listing currencies and update results, and a summary indicating the number of currencies, the number of updated rates, and the number of rates that were not be updated.

  • Errors appear in red so that you can easily spot them.

  • If you selected the “Try other sources if rate is not available on favorite website” option in the Rates Update pane of Currency Assistant Settings (macOS 13 or later) or Currency Assistant Preferences (macOS 12 or earlier), rates not found on your favorite website and updated from a different source will appear in grey and will be marked with an asterisk (*).
