In the bottom of the ledger, simply display the sum of highlighted transactions.
The user can click on the transactions, holding the ctrl key and the sum is automatically updated.

Like Calc (OpenOffice)

It may helps...

Ciao.

One other small wish about kmymoney which is maybe due to me not being enough disciplined...

When I use several categories for a specific record, I often forget to click correctly on the green arrow for each line. Don't remind exactly what I do but I often happen to loose what I've just typed and I have to do it again. Am I the only one ?

Regards,

Here are 2 more:

Issue:
The main way I enter transactions in the accounts is via download through my banks. KMM automatically adds all of the Payee's into the Payee list. This is undesireable because each Payee is unique and has coded information about the transaction and my Payee list gets huge. After editing each of the transactions with the real name of the Payee I have to go edit the Payee list to get rid of all of the undesireable ones.
Suggestion:
Since all of the transactions are highlighted yellow with a symbol, why not wait to add the Payee to the Payee list until the transaction is edited and saved. This will allow me to edit the transaction and put in the real name of the Payee.

Issue:
I want to add my wife's paychecks to the schedule. She gets paid twice a month: the 15th and last day of the month. KMM does not have this option. It lists every other week and fortnightly, which mean the same thing.
Suggestion:
Add a twice a month option. Some people get paid the 1st and 15th, some the 15th and last day of month.

I think this is done already through the new Payee Matching features (0.9.2)
You can match many payees informed by your bank to a single payee already created in KMM.

Yes. We are lacking options regarding schedules.
In this case, I would create 2 different schedules, but I know it's not the best option.
There are plans to improve this, including this feature.

Regarding schedules, there's a program I've used which imho has a very complete and well thought gui : it's named Rapla and it's free software so you can have a look if you like : http://www.rapla.org

Can you please elaborate on the new Payee matching feature, I am using 0.9.2.

Here is what I am seeing.
- I have a payee called "Randalls" in my Payee list.
- I go to my bank account, download my transactions via OFX, and import into KMM.
- KMM asks me to confirm which account, it always guesses right, and then it enters the transactions telling me how many were added.
- The entered transaction has a yellow background and the Payee is listed something like "Checkcard Randall 380303837".
- I click on the transaction, select Edit, change the Payee to "Randalls", select a category, and then save the transaction.
- The "Checkcard Randall..." has been added to the Payee list.

Am I doing something wrong?

I wouldn't say wrong, but different

Goto the payees view. Select Randalls and switch to the Matching tab. Select Match on a name listed below and add .*Randall.* to the list. Use Ignore case to your liking.

Then do the download. The transaction matcher should assign Randalls as payee, because Checkcard Randall 380303837 matches it. It also collects the last used category and assigns it to the transaction. So the yellow question mark wouldn't even show up.

In case you downloaded a bunch of transactions and they created a set of payees with some garbage numbers, goto the payee view and delete the one's you don't want. As long as there are transactions assigned to the payees to be deleted, you will be asked to re-assign them to another payee. The reassignment will happen automatically.

OK thanks, will try that. I have been deleting the Payees I don't want, but that has been a lot of extra work because I have been adding all of my bank information from July. Going forward it will just be smaller imports of data.

So far I am liking the program very much. Still have a lot of learning to do.
