Export as CSV
Useful for exporting and importing into other apps, for example GnuCash on PC.
@BitPuffin Thanks you for feature request.
Unfortunately it might not be supported because there already have used Excel file type (".xlsx") for Backup starting from ProExpense version 0.1.0.
The another reason why I didn't choose CSV type is hard to manage for multiple table ( app configuration, currency type) .
May be in future for specific export use case and will notify you. Have a nice day!
Hello @arduia thanks for replying so fast.
I was thinking it's only for exporting transactions to get the data into other programs. Not necessarily any app settings etc. Something very basic, which should work okay with CSV.
It's currently great that you can backup the whole app state and restore it, and it's very privacy friendly the way it works. But I don't think I can use the app for all of my finance tracking since I would want to also have the data on my PC. Where I can import bank statement CSVs etc into GnuCash and track assets like stocks etc. But this app is fantastic for keeping track of purchases while on the go. And the (unofficial) GnuCash app for android is not free software :(
If you are interested, I think I might be able to put some time in and implement it with a PR if you can tell me where in the app putting the setting would make sense (UI wise). For example, since it's not for backup purposes maybe it shouldn't be in the backup section, but maybe an export button in the the transaction log or something like that.
What do you think?
@BitPuffin I really appreciate your request.
But the architecture of the app is migrating to clean type and existing feature are not stable yet.
So, I should focus on usability to easily enter expense data in the app because backup and export features will not be useful if there is no expense data.
I will consider CSV export type for future plan after stable releases.
Thank you!
Thanks for the explanation! I look forward to when you add if that happens :) For now I will probably use some other app but closely monitor ProExpense's progress because it seems like the most clean and usable finance app on f-droid!
I might even see if I can hack together some kind of import from the xlsx file lol.
Take care!
