I've recently been debating splitting up my buckets, but not into
ordinary subcategories, more by:
1) necessary vs discretionary
2) periodic (>1mo) vs monthly
3) fixed vs variable
But I haven't yet decided. I've been tempted to go with #2 there,
just so I know which buckets I expect to have

I noticed that if you shrink down the account panel so it only shows a
few, then try to drag from one account to another to create a

generally have separate buckets for separate deductible transactions
(Medical, Education & Training, etc), but don't really have anything
this would fit into. Perhaps a misc deductions bucket?

Would it be possible for you to group the multiple transactions for a

I had a future pending transaction, a deposit of $1250, with a date

At first, I didn't mind that splits only allow changes to category,

I noticed a little bug when reordering buckets. You can drag a button
above the top entry, to make it the top entry, but you can't drag a
bucket below the bottom entry, to make it the bottom entry. You have

above it. It's
I have a little feature suggestion for your next major release. I
think it'd be useful to allow the user to input a nonexistent bucket
name on a transaction, and within the error dialog, have a third
button, which lets you create that bucket, opening the bucket creation
dialog.

I've noticed that a deposit directly into an expense bucket is treated
as a positive value in the expense portion of the graph, rather than
positive in income. This makes sense, but on the other hand, I kind

I'd like to suggest a couple little features for the usability of the

1) it'd be nice to be able to choose "None" under the Monthly Timing
dropdown, for income that's a windfall, and which you want to manually

I'm curious about the behavior of the bucket balances when you click
on a month other than the current one in the graph. They all go
empty. I presume that's intended, but I could see it showing what the
balances were at the end of that month, also, which would make it easy
to see at a gl
