wish: update account target window if open

[Kinnin Vo-Shay]

Being able to work with multiple account windows open is something I really like about Homebank, but in working with them I've found that they don't currently handle updates due to activity in other account windows. An example would be if I changed a transaction's account, the new account's window would not show the transaction until I force a refresh manually, either by closing and reopening the account window, or if by pressing "Reset filters".

It would be nice if the window was able to auto-update. Not only does it remove a manual step of either doing an close/reopen action, or a press of "Reset filters", but it makes it more usable because doing these actions would clear the window of filters and current scroll position that might be in use at that moment.

This is in Homebank 5.1.4 on Windows 10.

I should consider maybe a refresh when the windows get the focus again

That sounds very reasonable :)

I'm not sure if a new bug report should be opened or if this report covers what I wish to see but I have noticed that if I open Homebank before midnight and continue to use Homebank past midnight then the account balances that might be updated after a date change are not.

So, a wish for account windows and Homebank in general to be refreshed at midnight or when the date changes.

Maxime, please advise if a new bug report (wish) needs to be created.

@paul: what do you mean by "account balances that might be updated after a date change are not " ?

I have finally managed this case by updating the target account window:
- add new transaction
- refresh the balance

and this without altering the current state of the target accoutn window
