Hi Steven / GnuCash developers, I've found your mail to the gnucash developer list regarding budget report improvements to GnuCash in the archive. What you describe is almost exactly what I'm looking for, so I have a couple of questions for you (or any other developer who wants to speak up) :
a) It doesn't look like the patch was accepted upstream, and other changes have been made to the mainline since then, so the patch no longer applies cleanly. Have you kept the patch up-to-date yourself ? b) You listed out a couple of bugs that you were aware of. Have you had a chance to address any of those ? Sincerely, Rasmus Tamstorf On September 8, 2006 Steven Wilton wrote : 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: 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. 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. 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) 5 - It makes the default display depth 3, once again not a core feature. There are a few bugs that I'm aware of: 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. I hope the work I've done is useful. regards Steven -- Rasmus Tamstorf [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Or how I learned to stop worrying and love email again _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
