            Bug ID: 476969
           Summary: CSV export of categories has problems for categories
                    nested other than one deep
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kmymoney
           Version: git (master)
          Platform: Other
                OS: All
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: exporter
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: ostroffjh at users.sourceforge.net
  Target Milestone: ---

(I don't know the full history of exporting categories, but it seems to export
ALL categories, having nothing to do with the account selected.  If so, it
probably should not be necessary to select an account or date range.)
When exporting categories, only three columns are ever output.  Top level
categories produce the category name and "I" or "E" (for Income or Expense.)   
Categories below a top level category output the top level category name, the
category name, and "I" or "E".  Lower level categories (although I have only
tested one level deeper) only output the parent category name, the category
name, and "I" or "E", but omit the top level category name.

The outcome of this is that the "I" or "E" indicator does not align for all
categories.  It is in the second column for top level categories but in the
third column for all others.  Categories more than one level deep in the
hierarcy are output with only their parent category name, but their place in
the hierarchy can only be implied from the preceding line in the csv output.

Perhaps the "I" or "E" can be in the first column, after which the full
parentage of the category can use as many columns as necessary.

Perhaps a larger discussion of the purpose of exporting the categories is also
in order.
