Hi Brendon,
Hi Jack,

I think I prefer this to the "Cleared Count" since this number doesn't tell me much the way I use KMM. So for example where you now show 6+15 I would like to see 6+21.
OK, that's another approach to it.

I see that you are indeed making use of it.

> Therefore the "Unmarked" state tells me how many downloaded transactions I have that I have not matched to a receipt. This helps me track down missing receipts before they are lost forever. In my example above 6+21 tells me I have 6 missing receipts and 21 transactions since I last reconciled this account.
OK

> I don't care that I have 15 cleared transactions.
I see.

Well, you are right, it might not be a screen killer…

> If each of the 3 new columns (balance status, not marked count not reconciled count) could be enabled separately then anyone with limited space could decide which if any they want to see. The way it is now is a little confusing and I separate columns would eliminate the confusion without having to read the manual.
I see your points.

Obviously not. :)

So, well, I'll try to make it close to perfect and implement these three opt-in columns.

I am open to suggestions as to which symbols I should use in the corresponding column header cells, since the number of icons is so big that I might not have found the most suitable ones yet. I actually thought about using perhaps emblem-new.png or emblem-important.png from /opt/local/share/icons/oxygen/16x16/emblems from port oxygen-icons…
