• There are now 2 separate account types for Debit and Credit cards
• For credit card account you can specify limit amount and it will be shown in the account list
• CSV export has been improved – date/time format has been changed to ISO 8601 standard, parent category has been included into the format
• Date/time now formatted according to system settings
• Calculator bug has been fixed
• And some more cosmetic UI changes and bug-fixes has been made

After initial release I found that account list layout has been broken on some devices with Android 1.5 (HTC Hero for example). Temporary fix has been applied.

Don’t forget that there is now Bug Tracker available – please don’t hesitate to submit bug reports and feature requests.

The format of CSV file is a subject to change and I’m open to discussion.

Use attributes to make special notes, attached to a transaction under a particular category. For example: imagine you have a category ‘Car’ and sub-category ‘Fuel’. You can create an number attribute for the ‘Fuel’ sub-category and name it ‘Mileage’. Now when you pay for the fuelling at the gas station, you create a transaction under ‘Car->Fuel’ category and you can put your current mileage in the attribute field. The attribute can be ‘Litres’ as well to note how much fuel you buy or a text attribute with the name ‘Gas station’ to note what gas station you used.

Some other examples:

• Text attribute ‘Movie name’ under ‘Leisure->Movies’ category
• Checkbox attribute ‘Tips included’ under ‘Restaurants’ category
• List attribute ‘Month’ with values ‘Jan;Feb;Mar;…’

There are more plans to utilize attributes in the future releases, but they are useful in the current state as well.

But the point is taken – I’m considering to modularize the application. Divide it into separate pieces with different sets of permissions. With main application require, ideally, no permissions at all and additional modules like ‘Location Module’ and ‘Currency Rate Module’. Hope it will work. No ETA though.

First of all, you can now set in the preferences what parameters of the last transaction to remember. Please check out the preferences, there is a new screen called “New transaction screen”:

As you can see from the picture above, you can choose to remember the last selected account, the last selected category for the account and the last selected project and location for the category So Financisto will remember details of your last transaction and that should improve your experience with adding new transactions.

Secondly, as you can see from the “Screen layout” part of the preferences screen, you can show/hide some elements from the transaction screen, including location, note, project. If you don’t use them, please feel free to tune the preferences to meet your need. If you choose to hide some of them it won’t erase any data in the existing transactions, it will just hide them from UI and you can get them back any time.

Also you can change relative order of the elements on the new transaction screen. By default they layered out in the following order: location, note, project. You can move an element down by increasing the order and vice verse.
