Hi, I took some time and tested it while inputting my transactions. Here are my notes: - After I edit the splits, the focus jumps directly into Memo-field, skipping the tags field. If split-window is not displayed, the tab order works as expected. - I didn't manage to get it crash anymore, so that seems to be okay now. - If I enter already existing tag twise, it filters the tag from the list, which is good. But one can still write the same tag name and it will be asked if tag (with the same name) should be created. I think this should not be possible, unless tags could be grouped in hierarchy (and even then same name shouldn't be possible in same group). - Tag functionality seems to be missing from loan wizard. I tested editing the existing loan, but I guess same applies to new loans as well. Since this is probably big change, I think current patch should be committed before implementing this. Have you decided should tags be simple lists or two dimensioned hierarchy? I bet list is far simpler to implement, and probably meets most users needs too. But two dimension hierarchy would allow more advanced reporting, since tags could be used as grouping option instead of simple filtering. For example, I could have hierarchy called "Cars", and under that I could have all my cars listed (if I just had more than one :) ). Then, I could have hierarchy called "Family", and there would be my wife, my son and me. In this way: Cars: - Porche - Ferrari - BMW Family: - Wife - Son - Me Now, I could tag my transactions from these two groups (but only one car and one family member per transaction). Let's assume there is bought some gasoline for the BMW that my son is gonna use. I would have transaction from category "Gasoline" and tag it with "Son" and "BMW". Then there is another transaction for gasoline, this time with tags "Son" and "Ferrari". If I then select my son as a filter criterion in the reports, the reporting engine could generate automatically this kind of report: Expences: Gasoline, BMW Gasoline, Ferrari In single dimension model I couldn't separate the expences by other tag group, so I would just have one line "Gasoline" without knowing how much was spent for BMW and how much was for the Ferrari. (Sure, I could have categories named "Gasoline, BMW" and "Gasoline, Ferrari", but that would be bad idea because I would end up having tens of gasoline categories after some years when my cars have changed several times.) Disclaimer: this wasn't my idea. My co-worker (who has worked several years doing different kind of corporate reports) mentioned it when I told him about your work. This might be too overkill for personal accounting application, but I thought still to mention it because I think my friend had a good point why tag hierarchies can be useful. -- Mikki _______________________________________________ KMyMoney-devel mailing list KMyMoney-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kmymoney-devel
