new user with some questions
Posted: 31 May 2009, 15:31
I just discovered icompta and it seems to have a lot of potential. My bank(s) unfortunately only allow to download statements as pdf files. But a bit of python hacking already resulted in a script to convert the pdf statements from one bank into csv files. The others will probably follow soon
.
A couple of questions/suggestions/requests so far:
- Is it somehow possible to get combined statistics or balance evolution for more than one account?
- Some of my transactions have a quite long info or description field (multiple lines on my bank statements). Double clicking opens up the editing column at the right but this is even smaller than the reading panel. It would be nice to be have a nicer way to visualize this. Perhaps open a full width editing panel at the bottom? Or having multiple line text fields in the edit panel and wrapping lines?
- While playing with automatic rules I've noticed that it's possible to put the same label multiple times on a single transaction. That's kind of counterintuitive if you're used to how labels work in other programs.
Definitely a piece of software with lots of potential. Keep up the good work!
