Version: 0.9.3 (using KDE 4.2.4) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs It would be nice if KMyMoney would support tags in addition to categories. Categories are too limiting for me, since many transaction don't really fit into one single transaction. Example: I have a category "food", where I track all food expenses, and a category "Akademy", where I track all expenses for the conference. Now, when eating something at Akademy, in which category should I put it into? This is where tags would help, since you could stick an arbitrary number of tags to a transaction. Have a look at how Digikam does this: Pictures are grouped by album first, and then the user can add additional tags.
Yes, tags would be extremely useful. Some examples: Wedding, trips, events and party, Christmas gifts, and so on. I could add tags like: Venice2011, John-40th-Birthday, MyWedding, Christimas2011 Than I could track all of the transaction with a specific tag and see how much I spent on a special event and in which categories.
In particular, it's also what other financial softwares use, so one could just look how they do it. Both Quicken and MS Money have it, and there's even support for it in QIF. Money let's you assign several "classes" that you can name.
I'm writing a patch to add this functionality. You can find the working in progress diff here: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/106846/
