Topic: Feature Requests

Hi,

I've just placed 7 months of data into ClearBudget, and so far, I really like it.  I've seen the post about the planned 1.0 features, but there's a couple of extra items I'd like to see, if possible.

1. A total on the category screen showing the sum of your budget
2. An extra column in Overview, showing your set budget
3. Color code the AVG column in overview to show if over budget on average
4. A weekly display mode in overview

Again, thanks for ClearBudget!

Gerald

Re: Feature Requests

Hi Gerald,
First, thanks a lot for the feedback, it is always appreciated!

We have a couple of questions/comments on your proposals:
For 1.: you mean on the category setup screen? You'd like to see the total amount of each category? Would not the average make more sense?

For 2.: this one is easy :-)...we'll do!

For 3.: this one is easy :-)...we'll do!

For 4.: This one is tricky as this requires a very large screen landscape. We'll look at ways to do this (maybe by adding a way to scroll left/right) but we can't promise it will make it.

Thanks.

Re: Feature Requests

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response!

1.  When entering budgets for each category, a total of all the budget values at the bottom of the screen.  Basically just adding up the budget column to display the total monthly budget.

eg:

category budget
gas            10
insurance   20
groceries    80

total          110 / month


As for items 2 and 3, Thanks!

I figured item 4 would be a bit of work.  It was a request from the wife, since she tends to think in weeks rather than months.

Re: Feature Requests

Hello Gerald,
Thanks for the extra explanation, it helps and it now makes sense to us smile

We certainly will add this to the next version as this sounds quite useful.
Stay tune since as we plan on releasing the next version in the next 2-3 weeks.

Thanks.

Re: Feature Requests

Hello Gerald,
Just a short note to let you know that version 0.9.5 of clearbudget has just been released with #1, #2 and #3 included.

Again for #4, we'll see what we can do smile

Re: Feature Requests

Thank-you!

Re: Feature Requests

You are welcome cool

Re: Feature Requests

I just started using clearbudget 0.9.5 and first thing i realize is i couldn't edit existing transaction amounts. I manually entered a transaction with the wrong amount. I could delete and create a new transaction but not edit the existing one.
I think the ability to edit amounts should be included should be included

Re: Feature Requests

Hello cbumd,
You are correct, this is something we will add on the next version. However, you will be able to edit ONLY the transactions manually created as it makes no sense to edit the amount of imported data.
In the meanwhile, as you say, you can delete and re-create.

Re: Feature Requests

Hello,

I need to see overall balance in the transactions list, before I add a new transaction.

Can you give this feature in the future?

Thanks.

Sandor

Re: Feature Requests

Hello,
Yes, we'll first add this to our to-do list but that looks easy and we should be able to add this to the next version.

Re: Feature Requests

Hello,

I would like to know, when will be available the next version with the new features?

Thanks.

Regards
Sandor

Re: Feature Requests

Hi Sandor,
Unfortunately, I do not have much time these days to work on the next version. I should find the time in the next couple of weeks so please expect the next version to be released something like end of March or beginning of April.

Thanks,
Fabrice.

Re: Feature Requests

Hello Fabrice,

I would like to know when will be available the new version?
I need this program to calculate my expenses and incomes, but I need the new features.

Thanks!

Sandor

Re: Feature Requests

Well, unfortunately I am quite busy on other stuff and I cannot spend much time on clearBudget at the moment.

I will take care of it as soon as I find the time and I will keep you posted.

Fabrice.

Re: Feature Requests

Hello Fabrice,

I need the new version. When will be it available?

I make a donation to you 25USD if you create the new version.

Thnaks!

Re: Feature Requests

Can you tell me exactly the features you need and I will see if I can put them in a new version (before the 1.0).

Fabrice.

Re: Feature Requests

Hello Fabrice,

I need features primarily:
- print transactions list (Monthly view)
- support sub-categories
- multi-user, multi-account support
- and PDF export (not so much important)

Thanks.

Regards,
Sandor

Re: Feature Requests

Hi Sandor,
The first item is something I think I can do easily. The 3 others require quite a lot of changes and testing on the application. Therefore, I cannot implement them for the moment as I do not have enough time to focus on clearBudget.

I guess I can only say that you will have to wait sad
I am sorry about this but I do not want to rush and make a release full of bugs and issues.
