Allow to attach files (as proof of expense)

[Norde]

Could the possibility of attaching a file to an expense (like proof / invoice) be feasible?

[almet]

It's technically feasible, but I don't think this is the scope we want for this software. What's your usecase here?

[Norde]

Just being able to attach proof to an expense (especially for large expenses).

It's very convenient for roommate (anyone can therefore check the accounts and trust reign).
It also makes rent receipts easily accessible to everyone.

I think it's a logical function for shared budget management software but it may not be the desired goal.
You may prefer to keep an application as simple / light as possible?

[almet]

Yep, one of the goals of IHM is to stay as simple as possible. Handling these pieces also means that the server contains a lot more valuable data than before. I'm +0 on this one. If anyone else thinks this is needed, don't hesitate to comment here :-)

I agree with @almet. Another idea might be to add a new External link icon in the Actions menu, which can link to whatever this bill is related to, e.g. a file stored on nextcloud/dropbox. What do you think ?

[almet]

If that solves the problem for @Norde, why not!

[Norde]

This would be a very good solution that would not weigh down HMI!

[almet]

@Norde are you willing to work on this?

[Norde]

My knowledge of python is nil but I will take a look :)

I think that the opening of a simple field "url" is within my capabilities.
For integration with nextcloud I make no promises.
