As I finish off my 2015 books, with my database file that is now ~13 years old, through numerous versions of smb-ledger and ledgersmb, and many bugs and database migrations, and lots of problems that may well be due to data-rot, I am considering starting from a fresh database.
Of course, starting from scratch makes me also think if I should look elsewhere. I need a web-browser based accounting system that ideally I can self-host a VM, and works with *nux desktops (my Amiga 2000 was replaced with a Sun3... then NetBSD/x86...) (So "ACCPAC", etc. are just out)... Freshbooks has been on my list, but they still don't really support bank accounts (i.e. reconciliation), just invoices and expenses. If/when I restart on LedgerSMB, then I would like to be able to export my contact list and import it. This probably the major issue. Copy-As-New is my most used button, and it would be awesome if I could bring samples along, but I think that will fail... If only there was some kind of XML export of an invoice that could be imported/emailed/signed. (I've wanted to 2 months on this problem for at least 10 years now) I'd really like to extend Copy-As-New to include Copy-As-New-and-include-payments, and also "copy-as-new-but-add-1-month-to-dates" [for the mobile bill, or the CC interest charges which changes each month, so recurring transactions can't capture this...] Since 1.3.x and non-editable transactions, I still don't have a reasonable flow for making changes. 1.4 locked down transactions in the reconciliation report, and won't include new ones without a delete... so what's the flow to fix something? Just now, I entered a purchase as 35.52, when in fact it was 32.52. Off my $3 That's what reconciliation is for... okay, now what? We need a flow to *FIX* this. I am still on 1.4.12, I mostly try to avoid upgrading except at the end of the year, when I'll move to the .23 (sometime later tonight), and see. I'm still sick with the problem that I can't create new Contacts. (I have several other ledgers for other orgs, but they have fewer issues. I'm the guinea pig before I upgrade them) I sure hate the Dojo Toolkit, which I understand has gone away in 1.5. If I start a fresh database, shall I start with 1.5? -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works | network architect [ ] [email protected] http://www.sandelman.ca/ | ruby on rails [ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
