Description Nik Nikovsky 2025-04-15 16:31:38 UTC
I was thinking of something like this:
Expenses > Internet:
- Subscription
- Purchase
- Money transfer
And maybe something else if it comes to mind.
Comment 1 Jack 2025-04-15 19:51:11 UTC
Are you asking how to add these categories?  If so, please see the section on Categories in the Handbook.  You can do so either in the Categories View or in the Ledger.  In the ledger, just type the name of a new Category in the appropriate field, and the program will ask if you want to add a new Category.

On the other hand, if you are asking for these new Categories to be added to one of the Templates available when you set up a new data file, my personal opinion is that how one organizes such things is very personal, and I wouldn't add something to one of the templates unless it is likely to be applicable to a significant portion of users.

A final question is whether you mean these expenses are internet related (subscription to an ISP, purchasing a router or modem) or just that these are purchases made on the Internet.  If the latter, (again only me personal opinion) I prefer Categories to relate to the use of the expense, not how it is made.  I generally track that by the Payee (for example, I have both "Misc store" and "Misc online store") although for a store I shop at both in person and on the Internet, I don't even try to track which way I paid, other than perhaps in the Memo.

Do let me know if I completely misunderstood what you are requesting.

Well, I meant adding them as separate categories to all of the personal
templates but thanks for telling me how to manually add that.

Comment 3 Nik Nikovsky 2025-04-15 19:55:27 UTC
Why did... It make an attachment...
Comment 4 Jack 2025-04-15 20:00:24 UTC
Because you sent an HTML message.  In addition, when replying to a bug comment by email, please remove everything except your new comment (unless you want to keep a particular phrase or sentence to which you are replying,) as your Entire message becomes the next comment (and twice if you send HTML.)

Also note, that you are adding new Categories to your data file, not to any Template.  The Templates are separate files of groups of Categories which are shipped with the program, which you can include (one or more) when you set up a new data file. 

Unless you really want to keep this as a request to add these to one of the existing Templates, I'd be in favor of closing this as WORKS FOR ME, but I'll let you decide.

I sent stuff through Gmail, so I pin the blame on that

You can't actually change this to "works for me", but resolved would be close enough
Comment 6 Nik Nikovsky 2025-04-15 20:14:31 UTC
I'd honestly wait a week and if there's no traction, mark it as that
Comment 7 Jack 2025-04-15 21:07:36 UTC
WORKSFORME is one of the sub-status labels for RESOLVED.  Waiting a week is fine.  

When composing a message at gmail.com, there is an option for "Text Mode" in the pop-up when you click the three dots for more options.
Comment 8 Nik Nikovsky 2025-04-15 22:00:29 UTC
I see, thanks for telling me as I am still new.
This is actually being written from gmail's web interface without
clicking on the 3 dots that would show the quoted text.

Comment 9 Nik Nikovsky 2025-04-15 22:01:36 UTC
gmail I swear to god, I did not ask you to include the quotation text yet you did anyway.
Comment 10 Nik Nikovsky 2025-04-24 12:53:01 UTC
Well, I am a man of my word, so I'll do it.
If anyone ever wants to pick this up, go ahead.
