Version: SVN trunk (using KDE 4.5.5) OS: Linux When setting up a new account in the wizard, the account opening date defaults to the date of the start of fiscal year. While I appreciate that kmymoney cannot predict what the date should be, maybe setting it to today is a better option. Currently, when I click on the calendar icon to select the correct date I may have to go forward several months to get the correct opening date. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: As described above. Actual Results: Account opening date defaults to start of fiscal year. Expected Results: Date to default to today's date.
This used to be the default behavior and caused a lot of problems, as people wanted to add transactions prior to that date and could not enter them. From the log message of rev 1153976 on 2010-07-24: "Default the opening date for new accounts to be the first day of the fiscal year." BTW: did you know, that pressing the little icon in the lower left corner of the calendar widget left of the printed date selects the current date?
No, I didn't know about that facility in the calendar widget, thanks. Now you have explained why this was done I am happy to close this. I remember the problem now.
