What I'm about to suggest goes against current MoneyWell design and hopefully won't be seen as heretical ...
When I click on an account, I would like to see all transactions regardless of bucket, and when I click on a bucket I would like to see all transactions in any account assigned to that bucket. Now I know that I can do the first by making sure that the "All Transactions" SMART bucket is selected when I click on an account, and I can do the second by selecting all of my accounts when I click on a bucket. It just seems a bit counter-intuitive to have to do it that way though. I don't know how many times I've clicked on a bucket expecting to see all of my transactions and then realized that I didn't have all of the accounts in which a transaction for that bucket was made selected only to have to click on the "Accounts" tab to get all accounts selected. And I don't know how many times I've clicked on an account expecting to see all of my transactions only to realize that I had an expense bucket highlighted and had to click on the "All Transactions" SMART bucket to get what I wanted. The other thing that makes the current method counter-intuitive to me is when I have a split transaction that crosses buckets. If I am in "Show Split Transaction Totals" mode, the total amount of the transaction is shown in the bucket of the split parent. Likewise, the split child shows no transaction amount in its bucket. The bucket totals are fine, but there have been many times when I thought I did something wrong because the transaction amount shown in the bucket wasn't what I thought it was and it was because the transaction was a split parent and I had the totals option on. This little quirk would be eliminated if "account" transactions (split totals) were shown when you click on an account and "bucket" transactions (split detail) were shown when you click on a bucket. It also would obviate the need for the option. My workflow is that I'm either looking at account transactions (everything for that account), or bucket transactions (everything for that bucket). That's what makes the default of having all transactions filtered counter-intuitive to me. Maybe it's because I came from Mvelopes and that's how it was done there, but this is really the only thing I'm less than enthused about. Probably a big change, but I welcome your thoughts on this.
