If I learn how to set and save settings for python plugins I'll look at a setting for the decimal place accuracy and perhaps the possibility of copying results to the clipboard. Any other feedback, let me know. Thanks

Very cool, if you're still looking to add clipboard capabilities I found pyperclip to be fairly light-weight.

It basically uses c types for windows clipboard management is better then importing the entire pywin package just for clipboard usage.

Thanks. I have come across pyperclip but never used it. Will give it a go.

Just updated to v1.1 with a few usability improvements, bit of a visual upgrade and a few new units.

just used this to convert something on the fly while shopping, very simple to use 👍 💯

Great to hear others find it useful. Hope you weren't converting kilograms to pounds though as there was a bug (I've just published a fix)!

Nah I wasn't converting that haha
