Hello Gilcio, The Oxygen icons we need are older than that. In case we need icons in newer versions of KDE, I'll see to include them in our source tree temporarily. Thanks for the feedback! Regards, Alvaro On Sat, Mar 1, 2014 at 2:09 PM, Gilcio Amaral-Martins wrote: > Hi Thomas and Alvaro, > O

I knew it wouldnt be easy. I get a couple of errors. both of which confuse me in my lack of understanding of the way thins are compiled in linux. I mean I have a basic understanding and can string together simple stuff but also admit I rely on IDE's to put together the more complicated stuff

I'm very familiar with double entry and understand the purpose. I confess I have not tried your demo, but the majority of complaints I see from users seem to center on the double entry menus. I would use the same entry menus that Quicken, MS Money and others use. It would be one or two lines wi

I will try the tool, but keep in mind that I did not try it because I read the evaluations and your website. Both prominently refer to double entry book keeping and that put me off. It would put off most consumers here. The US does not require me (a consumer) to use a double entry book keeping s

So what you are saying is not "don't use double entry" But "hide double entry from the user" In my experience with KMyMoney it is mostly hidden. Ultimately if any accounting system is going to be used by an accountant for preparing your taxes. or even if you do them yourself. The tax office r

Double entry is a system designed to catch errors. People still make mistakes when entering data (and programming). It is still relevant in today's world. I am curious. what system would you replace it with? DC On 2/03/2014 7:57 AM, Roy O'Kelly wrote: You could actually have a successfu

You could actually have a successful product on your hands, but you need to let go of double entry book keeping. The age of computers is here and it just doesn't make sense for a consumer any more (if it ever did). Quicken continues to abuse their customers, there isn't a decent competitor in th

Hi Thomas and Alvaro, Only packages not included in the official distribution are considered as dependency at SlackBuilds.org. Oxygen is part of the KDE slackware distribution so it will not be considered a KMy Money dependency but I will write a note warning the users about that. The only issue
