me, most of the time, the online balance matches my cleared balance,
not the final account balance, so the red is sort of misleading, if
not just wrong. I would prefer to not have the line highlighted at
all, but using a different color would also be OK for me. First,
does anybody disagree that this makes sense? Second, how easy would
this be to implement. Third, should I just file a wishlist so it
doesn't get lost?
I am updating through HBCI and I am very very thankful for this
highlighting feature, since it tells me immediately when something
went wrong during data import from the bank.
So, if you don't need this feature I would prefer to have this merely
freely configurable, because it's valuable for me. I had introduced
it through Thomas back then [0].
I don't think it should be very hard to implement, since I have done
similar stuff for the homepage accounts table view options. [1]
I could have a look into that. File a wishlist issue, if you like.
Greets,

Marko,
I use OFX-direct connect for several accounts, so I think I find it as
useful as you do. However, I find any error is usually something I did
rather than an error in the download :-) Actually - the most common
issue this finds for me is a newly cleared check that KMM does not
match because my original, manually entered transaction is too old.
So - I don't want to turn it off, I just want a slight change to how it
works. If the online balance does not match either the local balance
or local cleared balance, there is a problem. Also, if the online
balance matches the local balance, all is probably well, unless you
have any uncleared transactions. However, if the online balance
matches the local cleared balance, then there is probably no error, so
the red highlight seems unnecessary. Making it yellow would show there
are outstanding transactions, but probably no errors.
I will file a wishlist later, and try to explain it better. I agree it
is a useful feature.
