Extension - List future reminders
Hello Stu,
Could not find a dedicated thread for this subject - so created this one.
On the extension "List Future Reminders", is it possible to add an option to delete a reminder ?
When accounts are zeroed and closed - reminders remain. The extension helps search/filter for associated reminders. Double click takes you to an entry screen. Right click provides option to edit the reminder. But it would help if an option to delete the reminder was also available.

Done. Latest PREVIEW with the right-click delete reminder option is available on my site (under the previews section).

thanks - installed. Works like a charm.
A few things noticed:
-- on opening the extension, please throw focus into the search field.
-- searched for an outdated reminder. Found 2 instances - for two different dates ( which is accurate). Right clicked on one of them and deleted. However, BOTH reminders got deleted. Basically, all related reminders ( past and future ) gets deleted. This took me by surprise - but guess this is normal and by design 'cos there is an option to skip prior transactions in the entry screen. Suggestion is to change the warning to alert the user. Perhaps something along the lines of ALL RELATED / LISTED REMINDERS WILL BE DELETED. ARE YOU SURE.... Y/N ?

Both changes made.. Latest preview is uploaded to my site.
FYI - There is only ever one reminder for a reminder... What's shown on the LFR screen are calculated future versions.. They do not exist. Hence, when you delete a reminder (by clicking on any row), you are deleting the single existing reminder and also therefore removing the calculated future dated rows (that do not exist).

Perfecto! Thank you - and all clear too.

Hello Stu.
What is the latest version of this LIST FUTURE REMINDERS extension ? I am currently on build 1023 ( as shown on the MENU->ABOUT page.
However, this extension opens and no longer works as expected. Searching would filter results - but nothing happens now. This has been working well for a while - and the only change I've made is to install the lastest CUSTOM BALANCES extension build 1022.
Please could you have a look and advise.

What happens if you type into the filter and press enter?

nothing happens - unforunately.
restarted moneydance - and no change
funny enough - at times - scrolling the mouse and the list shortens. But does not show the intended result.

Odd issue that. I don't know what caused the issue to appear.. Anyway, I think I have fixed it. Grab latest PREVIEW build 1024 from my site:

oh! - so you could replicate it i guess ? Phew!.. I had to almost conclude this is the Moneydance apocalypse of sort !! I restarted my machine more than once, I uninstalled custom balances and reinstalled it ( got the balances back - which is great ) and still the same. Strange enough - the search and filter on the mega search etc continued to work fine without a hitch.
I will install this build 1024 and will update asap
12 Posted by RJron on 29 Apr, 2023 02:29 PM
yipee yay yeh... !
the 1024 has fixed it. Without this, I would have gone all cross eyed looking for my accounts and reminders from the list. Appreciate that very much mate. Still desperate to see this in moneydance dashboard/accounts..etc.. but thats a moneydance issue spanning so many years now.
PS. I guess no chance to include (perhaps automate) the build number in the text on your site..

No, I don't want build numbers on preview builds as they change all the time...
I suspect the filter broke when I included the ability to save/restore table sort orders, and I suspect that you were not already running this feature and thus hadn't seen the issue...

@ Stuart..
Thank you once again.
Apologies for the 'Stu' reference. I thought I had seen the name Stu
mentioned somewhere.. but it could be me mixing this with another colleague
by name Stu Bluth ( also Stuart ) from the old days.
If I mistakenly make reference to it again ( when responding in a rush )
please accept my sincere apologies.. but I will surely attempt to correct
it.
Thanks again
