Ah great, it all makes sense then. I thought perhaps this was your way of forcing us all to plan more ahead ;) It sort of made sense, though my low priority buckets would probably never get filled that way and even though they're low priority, they do need a bit of filling every once in a while.

I have noticed that when I press ⌘-= to show future pending transactions, the amount in my bucket changes to what it would be on the last day of the month taking all those pending transactions in account (only for the current month though). Should it work like this? I very much like it, so I'm hoping this is not a bug but intended behaviour... :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "No Thirst Software User Forum" group.
