On an almost-related note, the transfer-from hierachical approach is neat.
Two issues/questions:
The length of the transfer-from field becomes HUGE and the specific account name is
commonly
lost. Would it be possible to right-justify the field so that the account name will
be more readily
visible.
Also, how hard would it be to be able to auto-complete both the top-level (EG
expenses,income,liabilities) AS WELL AS
the bottom level (EG fuel,groceries, etc).
I find traversing the hierarchy very useful in some instances, but quite cumbersome in
others where
I know exactly "where I'm going".
BTW, I'm working on an average expense report, hopefully out soon.
Cheers.
