I do not follow your answer. The footer line that lists the totals changes as different transactions are selected, which is a great feature to understand, over time (in the future) what the totals (and buckets) will look like. As I mentioned in the original post, the bank balances decrease reflecting the money being taken from the bank account to satisfy the transactions (like the paying of a bill). But, my problem is that the bucket that is listed in the transaction is not changed.
Take this example, let us say we have 1 bank account, one income bucket, and one expense bucket. I put $100 in the bank account. First, the income bucket has $100 and I then flow that into a "water utility" expense bucket. Let us say I create a future transaction (I did an online billpay) to pay $100. I would highlight the transaction and in the footer it would show the bank account at $0 (reflecting the payment of the bill from that account), but the buckets balance would show $100. In your answer you mentioned the notion of "currently", but when you highlight a future transactions, you are altering the footer totals and (should be) buckets balance as well. You are changing the point in time reference from now to then in the future. On Feb 20, 6:53 pm, Kevin Hoctor <[email protected]> wrote: > On Feb 20, 2009, at 5:05 PM, Brian H.
