Tagirijus / ledger-add

A programm for adding transactions to a ledger-cli journal

A programm for adding transactions to a ledger journal.

Features

• Simple appending of transactions with a TUI / GUI or via command line parameters
• Preset system for simpler appending of recurring transactions
• German tax depreciation ('AfA') feature for automatic transaction generation according to the german tax law

The frontend is made with my tweaked version of npyscreen.

Installation

To be honest: totally helpless here. I made it the noob-way, I think:

1. Cloned my tweaked version of npyscreen - especially the NotifyInput branch and switched to this branch, locally! (git clone https://github.com/Tagirijus/npyscreen, git checkout NotifyInput, git pull origin NotifyInput)
2. Went to the folder and typed sudo pip3 install . -e to install this branch in the Python3 modules.
3. Set up an alias in the .bashrc to my run.py of ledger-add.

Usage

Start the programm and open the menu with Ctrl+X. Fill the fields and see what happens. Shortcuts are:

- Ctrl+A : jump to the first account on the transaction form (Bug: works only the first time. Probably a bug of the npyscreen API)
- Ctrl+DEL : delete the field, which has the focus
- Ctrl+L : opens presets
- Ctrl+O : ok button
- Ctrl+Q : cancel button
- INSERT : insert afa table entry
- DELETE : delete afa table entry

To do

• Old command line interface for people, who like the old interface more.
• Fix bug, which completely can destroy the journal, if it has a transaction without cleared / not cleared status in it (* or ! has to exist in a transaction)!
• Programm only works with python3.6 as it seems ...
