Check.
I got this when making a split from HKD and then part to USD funds and
part to EUR funds. The way to get the exchange rate interface is when
entering the split, to right click on that transaction, and then click
"edit exchange rate". That will bring up the exchange rate interface,
with the (usually correct!) exchange rate set. Just clicking OK seems to
do the job fine.
I have to say I haven't tested the effect of later changing the exchange
rates on the total asset value!
