Featurerequest - Function to find duplicate posts/transactio

I relay heavily on the import feature of iCash to import statements from my bank, copying and pasting information to a text document that I then import. Doing so it is quite easy to by mistake import a post that is already imported on a earlier time. As of now I have to be observant and pay attention to not import a post two times, which take a bit of time.

I would love a function that helped med to catch thous post that seems to have already been imported, and in some way alert me to not import that row/post. :D

An other example would be to be able to catch transactions between two accounts. A transaction appears on two accounts, one time on the from-account as -xxx, and on the to-account as +xxx. Importing both accounts would result in two post, that actually in iCash should be one post.

A function that in some way could catch or find posts that looks to be a transaction and then letting me merge them to one would also be of great help. :D

Ok, what do you propose, iCash showing a duplicate window with a list of possible duplicate transactions? With duplicates we are talking about transactions with same origin account, same target account and same amount?

How the GUI part or interaction with the user should be I haven't figured out. Maybe, for the function to be generic and usable for all transaction/information, the "find duplicate function" should not be tied to the import function, but rather be a function that can be run any time, on a selectable (date span?) part of all the transactions.

Yes, and date. I'm not a very god programer, but how about making it possible to toggle what should be includ for a match to be find. Leting the user decide what to look for and making them selectable.
  • Date
  • origin account
  • target account
  • amount
  • comment

If a possible match is found, it should be possible to merge/delete the transaction/transactions, much like the duplicate contact functions/apps you can find for contactlists in phones.

Ok, I have created a feature request for that.
