[Kmymoney-devel] Feature request for Categories

[Ralph Müller-Welt]

Hi KMyMoney-dev-team,

first of all i'd like to give u big hugs for such a great kde-app!

Second i'd like to suggest some UI-Improvements to the Category-tab.

Searchfield:
In nearly all KDE-apps its common to have the searchfield above the content. 
(See Kontact for example)
You already have a top searchfield in some parts of your UI (Scheduled 
transactions, Payees, Ledgers ), so that the Forms Institutions, Accounts and 
Categories are inconsistent to that.

Creating New Category:
When in Category-view, right clicking on Category 'ABC' to call contextmenu 
"Category options" and selecting "New Category ..." the "Hierarchy"-tab in 
Dialog "Create a new Category" should be set to "Is a sub account/category of  
'ABC'".
Instead all created category end on toplevel under Income/Expense.
Same behaviour applies to accounts, but using different dialog.
I would consider this inconsistent to KDE-default behaviour - compared with 
dolphin/skrooge for example.

Bugs in Categories-view:
1) Contextmenu not showing up when no category is selected.
When right after start one goes to categories-view and there is no categorie 
selected. The contextmenu is not commping up when rightclicking on background.
I'd suggest to not hide Income/Expense-categories, just properly preset their 
selection (in case there is one) and give user possibility to overwrite 
preselection.

2) Repainting categoriy-view not working when deleting a category with 
subcategories and selecting "Just the category". All categories disapear, 
changing views does not bring the subcategories to show up, saving the file 
and reopening solves this. The categories then belong to the next upper 
categorie of the deleted one.

3) Crash
When deleting a category with subcategories, no matter to chose "Delete all" 
or "Just the category", switching to Home-view crashes the app.

Currency 'EUR' not found. in file 
/build/buildd/kmymoney-4.6.1/kmymoney/mymoney/mymoneyfile.cpp line 2 381

Crashlog attached.


$ kmymoney --version
Qt: 4.8.1
KDE Development Platform: 4.8.3 (4.8.3)
KMyMoney: 4.6.1

As i didn't read anything in the release notes for 4.6.2, i consider this 
still valid.


So, keep up the good work,
Ralph Müller-Welt
