Intro

|
-----
|
|
|
|
This is a ad-hoc list of what works and doesn't work in the g2
|
|
port of gnucash. The plan is to finish porting those parts of gnucash
|
|
that have already been started (i.e. new windowing system, account
|
|
tree, commodities tree, etc.), but not to port any additional features
|
|
unless absolutely required. The clist/ctree widgets *do* still exist
|
|
in gtk2 and can be used, even though they've been marked as deprecated
|
|
and will disappear in a future release. Its important to get this
|
|
release out the door and not stall it until all the deprecated
|
|
functionality has been removed.

|
- General
|
|
|
|
- Printing
|
|
|
|
- Printing checks works.
|
|
- Printing text reports works.
|
|
- Printing pie/bar charts fails.
|
|
|
|
- Open pages are no longer open after reopening file.
|
|
- Account tree, register and report pages are restored.
|
|
- Budget and business pages are not restored.
|
|
- Trying to reopen a multi-column report spits lots of
|
|
warning. Trying to edit that pages options crashes gnucash.
|
|
|
|
- Register Core - mostly functional
|
|
|
|
- doesn't remember custom check formats.
|
|
|
|
- Edit > {Cut,Copy,Paste} not functioning on first invocation.
|
|
|
|
- Reporting / Graphing [mostly functional]
|
|
|
|
- Graphing working, with some known issue; see top
|
|
of src/gnome-utils/gnc-html-graph-gog.c for more detail.
|
|
|
|
- colors
|
|
|
|
- axis-label string rotation
|
|
|
|
- Known issue with height/width bug in libgtkhtml 3.3.2 (on FC3).
|
|
|
|
- When rendering, progress bar always says "Rendering 'Untitled' report...".
|
|
|
|
- warlord reports this was true in 1.8 as well.
|
|
|
|
- Tax Report / TXF Export
|
|
|
|
- incorrect "Sub-4 Sub-3 Sub-2 Sub-1 Total" supposed-to-be-column-header lines?

- Assets Barchart
|
|
[http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2006-January/015337.html]
|
|
|
|
- With stacked barchart, 13 bars @ 1200x800 sorted by amount, the graph
|
|
is very compressed; with >13 bars, nothing is displayed.
|
|
|
|
- Legend uses a huge font.
|
|
|
|
- Importing
|
|
|
|
- HBCI - Transaction templates eventually need to be converted from a GTK_CLIST
|
|
to a GTK_TREE_VIEW. Currently working as a GtkClist.
|
|
|
|
- Budgeting
|
|
|
|
- Budget Report
|
|
|
|
- the default account selection isn't very reasonable, Inc & Exp
|
|
would be better
|
|
|
|
- sometimes negative numbers render on two lines in their table-cell
|
|
|
|
- Budget GUI
|
|
|
|
- default account filter doesn't take effect until options are
|
|
opened, should take effect as soon as view is opened
|
|
|
|
- it might be nice to disallow some of the more unusual recurrences
|
|
|
|
- better if budget list dialog allowed double click to open
|
|
|
|
- need help text
|
|
|
|
- should displaying zero values be optional?
|
|
|
|
- it'd be nice if there was a summary column at the far right
|
|
|
|
- Budget Engine
|
|
|
|
- Do budgets play nice with QSF?
|
|
|
|
- Still a lot of dead legacy code hanging around
|
|
|
|
- New Account Hierarchy - somewhat works
|
|
|
|
- Placeholder status should be set on relevant (non-leaf) accounts?
|
|
|
|
- Sometimes crashes when loading account data.
|
|
|
|
- 2006-01-02: do these problems still exist?
|
|
|
|
- [jsled, 2006-01-03] yes...
|
|
|
|
- After opening, mousing over the existing account-tree changes all my
|
|
'$'s to 'USD'.
|
|
|
|
- I'm unable to cancel this dialog.
|
|
|
|
- Account Hierarchy Merge - BROKEN
|
|
|
|
- Bad integration with Account Hierarchy druid
|
|
|
|
- Static variables used for process/window state.
|
|
|
|
- Misc errors with no apparent cause
|
|
|
|
- (gnucash:27485): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_event: assertion `WIDGET_REALIZED_FOR_EVENT (widget, event)' failed
|
|
|
|
- (gnucash:27485): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_event: assertion `WIDGET_REALIZED_FOR_EVENT (widget, event)' failed
|
|
|
|
- Doesn't let you complete the conflict resolution process, thus you can never complete the druid.
|
|
|
|
- (jsled) actually, it just doesn't display the 1-conflict -> 0-conflict
|
|
transition in the UI correctly, but it does allow you to finish.
|
|
|
|
- conflict-resolution process/display issues.
|
|
|
|
- weird...
|
|
|
|
- Merge Druid -forward-> Account Druid -cancel-| => book commodity (?) changes
|
|
|
|
- conflict resolution
|

|
|
<jsled> hampton: hmm. trying to figure out the ui here; I think it's:
|
|
<jsled> 1/ make the account-name directly-editable in the account-tree view.
|
|
<jsled> 2/ Change the "add opening balance" page to "edit accounts".
|
|
<jsled> 3/ Add a "existing?" column next to the account name.
|
|
<jsled> 4/ the accounts and editing becomes stateful in a semi-complex way:
|
|
<hampton> That sounds like a plan. #2 will also make account names editable anywhere where an account tree is used which is good (accounts page, budgets page) and bad (transfer dialog, etc.)
|
|
<jsled> there's a 2-bit state space: placeholder-account? and shares-name-woth-existing?
|
|
<jsled> re: editable names: ah, noted; configurably editable, then.
|
|
<jsled> s/woth/with/
|
|
<jsled> placeholder=true, shares=true: use existing, no problem.
|
|
<jsled> placeholder=true, shares=false: create new, no problem
|
|
<jsled> placeholder=false, shares=true: existing account with same name exists, problem (blocks druid close)
|
|
<jsled> placeholder=false, shares=false: create new, no problem.
|
|
<hampton> I would state it differently.
|
|
<jsled> Maybe ... another Messages column to indicate the problem case...
|
|
<hampton> shares=false, placeholder=don't care: create new, no problem.
|
|
<hampton> shares=true, placeholder=same as existing: use existing, no problem
|
|
<hampton> shares=true, placeholder=diff from existing: problem
|
|
<jsled> Ah. Yup.
|
|
<jsled> Well, kinda.
|
|
<jsled> Ignoring the placeholders for a moment, there are really two types of example-accounts: those that expect the name to be edited, and those that don't.
|
|
<jsled> Those roughly correlate with the placeholder setting.
|
|
<jsled> But if you're re-running the account-hierarchy druid to add another credit card, you should be encouraged to enter a different name for the leaf account.
|
|
<hampton> Its more a question of where the dialog was called from. If from the new user code, you really don't need to edit names. If called from the merge druid, the user should be encouraged to edit leaf names.

|
- Backend
|
|
|
|
- price_lookup awaits a solution - as a query instead of a backend operation.
|
|
|
|
- Scheduled Transactions
|
|
|
|
- Since Last Run dialog should be audited for menus and ledger capabilities.
|
|
|
|
- e.g. The To-Create-Transaction read-only review ledger doesn't need any
|
|
menus or editing functionality.
|
|
|
|
- [minor] Since Last Run uses deprecated GTKCTrees.
|
|
|
|
- SX Editor
|
|
|
|
- bug/crash: http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2006-January/015300.html
|
|
|
|
- Template-register View > {Basic, Auto-Split} options have no effect
|
|
|
|
- Note: they *shouldn't* have any effect, as they don't apply to
|
|
General Ledgers. That means, however, they should either not appear
|
|
or be disabled.
|
|
|
|
- Open SX Editor, close it; open Register Preferences, change "Draw
|
|
{horiz,vert} lines" => crash.

ENHANCEMENTS
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
- New icons
|
|
|
|
- Add account.
|
|
|
|
- Register
|
|
|
|
- Report
|
|
|
|
- "Report options", especially, since it often confuses users.
|
|
|
|
- In-place editing
|
|
|
|
- Provide in-place editing where feasable. Eg. Editing the account code
|
|
or the account name, but not being able to re-parent the account. (Maybe
|
|
add DND support for this in long-term?)
|
|
|
|
- Find
|
|
|
|
- There's no way to edit/refine a search.
|
|
[There's no way to do so in 1.8, either...]
|
|
|
|
- Scheduled Transactions
|
|
|
|
- Entering a value (e.g. '20.00') without entering an account or a memo for
|
|
the first split causes everything else entered so far to be reset when
|
|
tabbing to the second split.
