--- Comment #1 from zoltan1...@gmail.com --- I just noticed that "Realized Capital Gains" is just the name that I gave to the report, kmymoney just calls it a Capital Gains report with the "Sum investements" setting set to "Only sold". Apart from the different naming convention, it is a realized capital gains report in essence. I also noticed that there already is a bug report about this behavior with the number 429710. However, in that bug the OP is asked to open a wishlist item instead, and this ticket is exactly that, so it's not an exact duplicate. Additionally, I think this report provides more details on the motivation for the desired behavior. Still, after reading the concerns against 429710, I would like to elaborate a bit more on why closed accounts should be included in my opinion. 1. If we approach the problem from the point of view of the "closed account" functionality, I would argue that users are expected to close an account once they close the corresponding "real" account at a financial institution and thus can no longer do transactions in it. As for the purpose of this function, I would say that it serves to reduce the clutter in the various account lists. However, hiding such accounts only makes sense when the associated information is irrelevant. This applies to ledger selection because it is not possible to do transactions and also applies to "snapshot" reports, because the account value is 0. However, it does not apply to historical reports, where closed accounts have a significant role. 2. If approaching the problem from the "Show all accounts" functionality, it shows closed accounts in the account selectors and allows opening their ledgers. I would argue that it should also apply to reports as I see no reason for why it shouldn't but I see several for why I should (see points 1 and 3). 3. Finally, if we approach from the use case - generating a realized capital gains report for tax purposes - it definitely makes sense to include these transactions, and this holds true irrespective of the first two bullet points. In fact, it is even misleading and dangerous to hide them, because if one were to solely rely on such a report for calculating taxes without noticing the omission of closed accounts, they would file their taxes wrong. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
