This would get useful indeed. Maybe we should support an importer returning a Dict[str, List[Transaction]] or adding metadata with the intended "file group", and a separate stage that writes out files (or better: inserts the transaction group before unique tags from a set of Beancount files).
Now that there are three independent ideas in the previous paragraph: - file groups so that an importer can return more than one list of files - routing these (or just the output of each importer) to multiple locations - automatic insertion of imported transactions in a specific place in a file On Wed, Oct 19, 2022, 03:33 Red S <[email protected]> wrote: > I use one file per real-world account > <https://reds-rants.netlify.app/personal-finance/structuring-your-source-tree/>, > which looks like: > beancount/ > main.bc # includes the other files > accounts/ > Assets.Banks.ABCDBank.Checking.bc > Assets.Investments.Taxable.BTrade.bc > Liabilities.Credit-Cards.Blue-Mastercard-0123.bc > > I use this patch > <https://gist.github.com/redstreet/78d2c01bc440358d8b2dfe97b6b0e38c> to > extract.py in beancount to have my importers output to multiple files. > > From this mailing list, I gather several users use organizations that > involve multiple files, split in different ways.
