I agree with the points you've made Yuri, for now though the --start-of-week usage satisfies my use case. WRT remembering to pass the option I'm using direnv in my setup so I can set the LEDGER_START_OF_WEEK environment variable to keep it all automated. I'm still just playing with the periodic transactions for now so I'm not sure if I'm going to clash with the current implementation soon or not. Given the way I'm reviewing my budget your point about monthly transactions might be valid for me sooner rather than later (e.g. I might want to see which monthly expenses are due in the next fortnight) but we'll see how we go. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
