hmm.. I see.
For the first part, about disallowing the user to click a transaction into R
status, I still think it should not be as simple as a click. Reconciliation is
very important and I even consider it an integrity check of the transactions.
What happens when someone has to inject a transaction into an account for a
time frame that has already been reconciled, for example:
my checking account is reconciled as of 2021-06-01, but my credit card account
shows a payment from that checking account coming out from 2021-05-31. If I add
the transaction to my CC as it shows in my CC statement, it will change my
reconciled checking account. I feel, instead, kMyMoney should ask the user if
they want to continue(which I think it does today) and if the user does
continue, it should unreconcile the transactions past that date.
Another thing that would help here, is if in the ledger it showed the clear
amount (already there), reconciled amount, and balance (already there).
Extremely cool if there was a total for the Debits and credits at the bottom.
:) All of this could be controlled by a flag in the settings: "Show All Account
Detail Totals"
