Budget report improvements

[Steven Wilton]

I like the budget feature in gnucash 2.0, but there were a few features that I felt were missing in the report. Unfortunately I've not programmed in guile or lisp before, but I gave it a shot, and thought I'd send the work I'd done to this list in case anyone else thinks the features are useful.

The patch does 3 things:

2 - It adds an option to make the budget and actual amounts cumulative.
3 - It allows the user to select a single budget period to show data for.

5 - It makes the default display depth 3, once again not a core feature.

There are a few bugs that I'm aware of:



I hope the work I've done is useful.

1 - It adds the sub-accounts in the budget columns to give a total. I did this because the actual columns already contained the total of all sub-accounts. 4 - It reduces the displayed accounts to income and expense only (not a core feature, but it was the only way I could see to easily remove all the asset and liability accounts from the report) 1 - For some reason the code that adds the sub-totals for the budget columns sometimes ends up with a blank entry. I have no idea why this is ocurring, as there is no pattern that I can see. 2 - The report takes a very long time to run. I've probably done something wrong int he code to make it run slowly. 3 - The number of periods that are displayed in the options menu is hard-coded to 12. This value should really be obtined from the number of periods in the budget. Steven
