Column sums in account view
I think it would be interesting if I see the sums of both the Increase and Expense columns in the account view. Why? Regarding a cash expense account (not an asset) I want to know how much money came in regarding the viewed timeframe and how much left my cash.
When I look on expense accounts where there are no increase transactions, the sum would just be the value from the profit & loss view, but with increase transactions this isn't achieved easily.
Did you get my point? Maybe a balance column like there is one in the account view for assets would be interesting as well, to track some wrong-dated transactions (cash balance can not get below zero), but this is rather an unnecessary feature.

Inappropriate?I agree about adding a "Total" line in the Account view for increase/decrease totals. I'll have to think about what form it will take though (I could add a few more information in such a line), but I'll add that in my list.
As for the Balance column for income/expense, it doesn't make much sense, even for a Cash account. This value is just a very high number representing the sum of all income or expense since the beginning of the file. Even for cash, it is the sum of the *uncounted* cash expenses. If you really have a meaningful balance info in that column, it means that your Cash account should be an asset, because you added a transaction for every cash purchase you ever made (including those chocolate bar purchases). So even if you add a wrongly dated transaction to cash, you won't be able to spot it using the Balance column because it would show something like "12,756.98" (it wouldn't ever go below zero). -
Inappropriate?This has been implemented in the latest preview build.
