The split transactions will get a new entry panel in 2.0 but this view will probably stay the same because the split child list is actually a sub-list to the transaction shown and not a parent list for the transactions in it. > I > always keep my register view hiding splits (just showing total of > transaction) - because in the long run - that is the AMOUNT i am out.. > the split is moot. therefore - i never see the child / parent > relationship - and really dont think i need to as a user of the app. > Hopefully, these concerns will be addressed in 1.5 And by doing this you are ruining the concept of an envelope budgeting system. Let me explain it this way: What do you see when you run a category report or drill down in a pie chart in Quicken? Do you see the total transaction amount or the individual split amounts? You see the latter because that correct for the report you are viewing. Now in MoneyWell, you don't need to run a report just to see your category (bucket) breakdown. The main view *IS* the report and it's always updated and one click away from giving you this information. The only reason that most of us need to see the transaction total instead of the individual split amounts is when we are comparing to a bank statement during the reconcile process and MoneyWell automatically switches your view in that case. This will not change in 1.5 or 2.0 because it would ruin the core design of MoneyWell. It's meant to be a very interactive financial tool and replace the old budget cycle of plan-spend-report-review with a more proactive plan-review-spend process. > > I also have other transactions that are properly split (i started > another thread a week ago and i am still awaiting response) but for > some reason only 1 of the splits shows up in buckets..

That's why this view option is so hidden, I only put it in MoneyWell as a "if you insist on seeing the list this way" type view. I don't recommend using it consistently. If turning off this view option doesn't fix this problem, then please send your MoneyWell document to ke...@nothirst.com with a description of exactly what transaction is not showing up correctly and I'll review it.
