Bug ID: 494077
Summary: document History panel and better document viewing
transactions modified by an action
Classification: Applications
Product: skrooge
Version: Trunk from git
Platform: unspecified
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: steph...@mankowski.fr
Reporter: skierp...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Skrooge has powerful actions like Tools > Find and group transfers. After you
run them it's hard to tell what they changed. Skrooge provides two ways to view
the affected transactions, Go > Open last modified... and the History panel's
context menu, but only the first is documented and its use isn't motivated.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run File Import or one of the commands in the Tools menu.
OBSERVED RESULT
It's not clear how to tell what's been altered by the action.
EXPECTED RESULT
The feature should be documented better. The History panel doesn't seem to be
mentioned anywhere in the Skrooge Handbook and there's no Panels section.
Here's one approach to adding it.
In 2.15 Undo / Redo, add:
Many actions in Skrooge, including import and commands in the Tools menu,
create or affect many transactions. Instead of undoing the entire action, you
can use Go > Open last modified... or the History panel (see XXX) to view the
transactions modified by it and edit particular transactions.
In 3.4 Transactions, add:
3.4.11 Viewing Modified Transactions
You can use Go > Open last modified... to view the transactions modified by
your last action. Furthermore, Skrooge keeps a record of all changes to
transactions in its History panel. To see this panel, choose View > Panels >
History. You can then right-click on any action in the History list and choose
Open transactions modified by this transaction...
(I notice there's no help on panels in the handbook where the History panel
could be documented. If there was documentation for the various actions in the
Tools menu, it could link to this new "Viewing Modified Transactions"
subsection.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I got the tip from
https://discuss.kde.org/t/how-to-find-out-what-find-and-group-transfers-did/16628
The command in the history panel's menu (in
plugins/skrooge/skrooge_operation/skgoperationplugin.cpp should be "Open
transactions modified by this action" instead of repeating "transaction" twice.
(Fix this first!)
There's no documentation of Panels, but there are references to the Editing
panel at the bottom of most views (slightly confusing because it isn't in the
View > Panels list) and the Search plug-in's "Process definition panel". This
is slightly confusing, maybe call the thing in views a "subpanel"?
