Importing/Exporing data #3

Closed finnziehe closed 5 years ago

finnziehe commented 5 years ago

Is there a way to export or backup the data?

pmiddend commented 5 years ago

Not yet, unfortunately. Do you have a proposition for that? Maybe just storing the history as a CSV file on the phone's drive would suffice.

Wondering if there is some clever way to use a Plain Text Accounting format like hledger’s journal format. This will give you plain text files that should be pretty easy to take away, that are also readable in any text editor (and still make sense), and they can be imported by several other open-source finance tools.

@Zegnat Funny that you mention it, because I've thought of exactly that myself. It would be pretty easy to implement. I personally use beancount as my plain text accounting tool, but both formats are pretty simple to export. I'll try implementing it, after I implement the obligatory (and in this case appropriate) CSV export/import.
