Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Currently, no matter what the user is viewing (a specific account or "All accounts"), after clicking on "X uncategorized transactions" in the top right corner they are moved to the /uncategorized. This is confirmed to be by design..

In my opinion this is an unexpected behavior as when a user works with a single account they would expect to be shown uncategorized transactions in said account, not all of them in a file.

I do understand that the original intention of this feature, as mentioned by @trevdor in my bug report (#905), was:

The workflow is for where you want to tidy up ALL the transactions you have yet to categorize in your budget, since that's the only way to be sure your budget reflects current reality.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Two things would have to be implemented:

  1. Clicking "X uncategorized transactions" applies filter (category is nothing) to the current view
  2. The number "X" in "X uncategorized transactions" corresponds to transaction in the current view only

Optionally, the /uncategorized page should be discarded or at least be accessible in another way.

Note: first point needs #901 to be solved (for example via implementation of #904).

Teaching and learning

I couldn't find a single place where this feature behavior is described using github search so I guess documenting it for the first time in the Interface Overview (docs url based on github file) would be nice.
