Hi Alex, What this does is simply convert the same table output that you would have seen without the CSV format to CSV. If you look carefully, you will see some of the numbers rendered from the postings. The way you're invoking this is not useful at the moment (though I admit it's not obvious why), for instance, the formatting of inventories with multiple currencies is split between multiples lines, as it would in the table rendering. This report outputs the same data that is being rendered in the HTML view. This makes little sense for a CSV output.
I have been thinking about rendering inventories in a single "cell", and to implement an explicit "flattening" of posting rows when an inventory with multiple currencies or lots has to be rendered, on multiple lines. The shell doesn't do this well at the moment, but ultimately, this type of output should be reduceable to a shell command. Now, I have been thinking about building an explicit export report of all postings to a table format. I'm wondering if what I have in mind is what you're looking for. What would you like to see exactly? One row per posting? And would you replicate the fields of each transaction?
