"selected transactions" summary screen does not show details for multiple transactions in MacOS and Linux version #6339

not sure if this is a bug or a feature request, depending on developer intent. currently affects 1.6.4 versions for MacOS and Linux, though appears to go back at least as far as v 1.5.13 for Mac.

On all Windows versions I have tested (including 1.6.4 and 1.5.13), when you select multiple transactions from an account screen, it will give you a summary of the transactions

on Linux, this only works when using Ctrl+Click to select multiple transactions, but not Shift + Click. (this github issue addresses that exactly, and looks to have been fixed in the Windows build https://github.com/moneymanagerex/moneymanagerex/issues/4652.

see also original forum topic: https://forum.moneymanagerex.org/viewtopic.php?p=23020&hilit=selected+transactions#p23020 )

On MacOS, I can find no method of getting the summary to show. control+Click, Command+Click, nor shift+click seem to do it. unless i'm missing some other mac-specific combo.

For MacOS, it's an issue with the wxWidgets library that we use and is already recorded here: https://github.com/moneymanagerex/moneymanagerex/issues/2914

that's very helpful; much appreciated. and mmex in general is fantastic. thank you!

fyi, if anyone really needs that functionality and can only use MacOS, there is a super tedious workaround that I was able to get going.

first you need to download, build, and install apple's relatively new Game Porting Toolkit (modified version of WINE built for MacOS). I'm using 1.1

FYI just building this after config took ~45 - 60 min on my m3 pro mbp.

I used windows portable 64bit 1.6.4 (portable version so I wouldn't have to install), and seems to work just fine, including the issue in question.

That fix seems to work for Ctrl + Click on macOS. It doesn't generate for Shift + Click, but if you Shift + Click to select a range of rows then Ctrl + Click twice to toggle any row off/on it shows the summary for the whole selection.

Looking at the older issue, it seems this was already working for the Ctrl + Click but not for Shift + Click so it was disabled entirely. @whalley any objection to re-enabling this?

whalley commented 9 months ago

No objection from me however it was disabled as users were confused when they selected with shift and it did not work and got the wrong numbers.

Sorry, wrong issue used in commit! Should have been 6338!
