SUMMARY
Thank-you for implementing in the master branch the new KMyMoney “Prevent
changing reconciliation status by click on Column C” option. I have downloaded
and tried this using: kmymoney-master-5246-linux-gcc-x86_64.AppImage.
Internally this reported as "Version 5.2.70-77f57dd".
With the new KMyMoney ledger “Prevent changing reconciliation status by click
on Column C” option enabled, as expected I can no longer change the value in
the “C” column by clicking on the column, thank-you. I can change the
reconciliation status value using one of the options below:
• Appropriate shortcut key combination
• Using the RMB menu “Mark transaction as…” command
• Editing a transaction and using the “Status” drop down box
So everything is working as described and expected. I look forward to this
being in a future release, it looks like it is planned for version 5.3?
Having used it I have some thoughts and questions. I appreciate that some ideas
may not be possible to implement and/or that others will believe they are not a
good idea to implement.
Q1. Is it possible to allow changing of the “Status” “C” column when clicking
on the “C” column in reconcile operation mode only?
This means that the “Prevent changing reconciliation status by click on Column
C” option would only take effect when not in a reconcile operation. To me this
would potentially give the best trade-off between flexibility of use and the
robustness of the account reconcilation process, especially if Q2 below is
possible.
Q2. During normal usage I do not ever expect to manually have to set the
status of a ledger entry to “reconciled”. I only expect the “Finish” command
that is used at the end of a reconcile operation to do this to all the entries
I have set to “Cleared”. So would be possible to have an option that when
clicking on the ledger “C“ column (if enabled for editing the value in a
reconcile operation as suggested in Q1) that would only toggle between the two
values “Not reconciled” (blank) and “Cleared”? If this is possible would it
also be possible to have a shortcut key combination that did the same? Someone
has previously requested something like this in bug 459772.
Q3. When I am in an account reconcile operation, after I have “Cleared” an
entry by clicking on the "C" column or using the corresponding shortcut key
combination, my next operation is usually to manually move the ledger entry
selection to the next “Not reconciled” (blank) entry below in the ledger. Would
it be possible to have an option to do this move/selection automatically? This
would I believe speed up the reconcile operation.
Please let me know if you are think anything above is worth raising separate
tickets for.
The ongoing updates and support are greatly appreciated.
