Scheduled Transactions are in development in CVS. The user can create a set of scheduled transactions for a number of frequencies of recurrance, and setup a template transaction to be "instantiated" at the time of creation. The credit/debit cells of this template can contain ad-hoc variable names, for which the user will be prompted [if necessary] at transaction-creation time. A better version of them is [unfortunately] on my hard drive. I was hoping to do a commit this weekend, but I've run into a nasty [read: debilitating] UI problem which has prevented it. The big addition on my hard drive is in the cancellation of the since-last-run dialog, and the use of a "register-widget" which allows the standard register look-n-feel to be embedded in the gnome-druid, allowing the user their accustomed-to interface to reviewing and making last-minute adjustments during xaction creation. | Had them all set up a few months back, but it was having a few problems | and I stopped using them.

Yes, but help is _always_ appreciated... if you can help in the development, check src/doc/TODO-schedxactions for a pretty details list of what's b0rken, working and to-be-done ... or contact me via e-mail/im or catch me in #[EMAIL PROTECTED] [if you can] to discuss in person. Also, testing and feedback -- especially once I make the aforementioned commit -- is always a good way to help. The biggest areas needing work moving forward are UI cleanup .. the Scheduled Transactions List could be a _lot_ better. The variable-binding table in the since-last-run dialog could be cleaned up a bit. Tab handling there could be redefined to help the user [I have some notes regarding this in src/gnome/dialog-sxsincelast.c on my hd]. With some non-zero amount of luck, I hope to commit the stuff on my HD before the end of the week.
