Does --add-price-quotes also get currencies ?

I've just discovered that --add-price-quotes DOES retrieve the currency
quotes as well, but not the same way as when clicking on "Get quotes"
from the Quotes Editor.

- With the command line, I get the value EUR-USD (price in USD for 1 EUR)
- From the Quotes Editor, I get USD-EUR (price in EUR for 1 USD)

As my default device is EURO, I guess GnuCash is only using the USD-EUR
values when doing exchange calculations.  Am I right ?

If so, is there a way to automate the update of USD-EUR when a new value
is added for EUR-USD (and the other way around) ?
