I use kmymoney for donation management (in lack of a drm software under linux). So far it works great, the only feature I really miss is the possibility to track changes in donations graphically. I can list all donations by payee all right, but it's not very easy to track changes that way. If you could implement a graphical report it would be more visual. Alternatively, another solution would be to let kmymoney track sudden changes to regular donations. I know this is a very specific request that would only be needed by a few people, but it would be great! Thank you! Reproducible: Always

Simply allow all reports (textual and graphic) to be filtered by Payees, Tags etc. Should be standard functionality.
It's probably very difficult to do, as a lot of payees will clutter the report. Anyway, nothing has changed. I'd propose it'd be marked as "won't fix" and close the report
No reason to use WONT FIX, as that implies an explicit decision by the developers. I think it's reasonable to just let this sit, in case anyone does come up with ideas. One thing I would suggest is that you come up with a more concrete example of what you want, with a sample graph of what it might look like. I wonder whether a chart of expenses over time (by quarter/month/...) by payee might provide what you want. If not, can you explain why not? I don't think this is as narrow as you seem to think, because I can imagine tracking changes in spending over time (such as watching your utility bills creep up) being a similar use. I've also changed the version to git and the component to reports as it's still a valid wishlist.
Well, the easiest way is to just enable a graphical view of the already available "transactions by payee". That of course would seriously clutter the chart with too many lines, but one could adjust the filter/sort to show just the regular donors. Then they would be able to see sudden changes more quickly than by scrolling through an endless list of transactions.
And, additionally, if there was a possibility to select/deselect payees on the right or left side of the report, right in the graphical view, that would make it easier to check specific people. Another way would be some way to scroll through the list of payees while dynamically updating the "transaction by payees" view.
