negative Initial amount of account is not the same as in accounts summary

[Michael Ott]

I create a new account and the initial sum is about -550€. I add some transaction and after that I see the initial sum of about 900€ in the accounts summary

I have also found a wrong translation in the English version. In the car cost report you use galon and miles but calculate using litre and km.

System:
Debian unstable
Homebank v4.1

For your first point, I don't understand. What is the problem exactly?

Using miles/galon is a global preference (according to the user country) but to be set manually and assume the user has seized miles and gallon instead of km and liters.
This is just a display option, not a convertion option. This is why I used d= (distance) and v=(volume).

Hi Maxime!

I will send you two screenshots. I hope that will help.

The problem is that I live in Germany but the hole system on my Laptop
is English. But here we have km and liters. But I cannot change it.
Maybe you can add this as option in the next version.

Hi again,

I think there is a mix-up about what initial balance is and the Bank balance.
You have set your Account Nordoberpfalz to -556.84.
Then you entered some transaction, to the bank balance is -556.84 +sum of all validated transaction, so its not incorrect is is -904.83. So everything is correct. Just check the transactions you added, and you will find the same result.

For mile/gallon, I personally live in France and my laptop is English, I simply seize km and liter into HomeBank, and I know it is km and liters. Changing the option into HomeBank just change the label, not the numbers seized (how homebank should expect, its mile or km?).
The problem would come it you live in a country using mile/galon and in the future and want to enter v= and d= using miles galon, as in the past, you seized km/liter.

Can I close this bug then ?
