Excellent! :) | - I saw in the mailing list, that some developers are working on scheduled | transactions. With this the first feature (and most comprehensive) is | probably relatively easy to build. He wanted to enter an interest rate per | account and wanted gnucash to predict the interest transactions | automatically. If someone looks into that, please take into account, that the | payment might be done on a different account. Just to clarify: this is the interest rate of the account, so I think you're saying the account is then a interest-bearing Checking acco unt or perhaps a credit card? Interest should then be calculated based on the balance of the account at some specific day of month? I'm trying to figure out how he/everyone wants it to work... the template transactions can already contain ad-hoc variables [type in any non-numeric string, and it will be a variable, which the user will be prompted to bind a value to at creation-time], but not functions... and this seems like the first and most important function people want. | - In the "Account Summary", it is not possible to select that the description | field of the accounts is printed I assume you mean the Account Summary report... no, it doesn't seem to be. If you see the announcement that there's a GnuCash product in GNOME bugzilla, please file a bug against that... it should be a relatively easy fix. | - In the "Accounts" window, the total value of each account is printed. But | the user has maybe already entered future transactions and wants to display | the current value of the accounts (should at least be an option) Sounds great to me ... please file a bug at the appropriate point. With Scheduled Transactions on the horizon, this is a very reaonsable thing to [optionally] have. I'll try and remember this when I have free moment, but filing a bug is probably The Right Thing.
