Show bucket and account balances in dropdowns

jamis opened this issue · comments

When selecting which account/bucket is the source for a transaction, it'd be nice to see what the current balance is, as well.

I played with this a bit tonight, and it actually makes the dropdowns pretty noise (and a bit confusing) to show the balances right there. Perhaps the better solution would be to show the current balance in a separate span next to the dropdown, after selecting an account/bucket? Could even dynamically update it to show what the balance would be after saving the transaction. Have to think about this some more.

My wife agrees with this idea. She puts income into General and then reallocates all of it to specific buckets in one shot, so being able to see the changing balance would aid with that workflow.
