Fix LedgerAlign corruptions #73
Conversation
This commit detect the location of the decimal point consistently in the
following circumstances (given g:ledger_decimal_sep='.'):
-30 = 0
456.78
It uses the decimal point location if it can be found, and if it cannot,
it uses the first character after the first group of digits.
When account names are too long, LedgerAlign was currupting the aligned lines. This commit ensures that: - In any case, if the account name is longer than the aligning column, the line is not corrupted and the amount is put at the end of the line (instead of putting it in the middle of the account name) - In any case, it ensures that there is a minimum of 2 spaces between the account name and the amount.

Just ran into this myself! Amounts ended up interspersed inside account strings, oops! I'd love to see this cleaned up and merged. See #75 for my proposal to help maintain this plugin. |

Thanks for the contribution @mildred. I'm sorry it took so long to address. I've been using these commits in my own use now for several weeks. As far as I'm concerned the plugin is fatally broken without it and works okay with it, so I'm going to go ahead and push this merge through right away. I'll probably refactor the code a little bit down the road, but I don't see any reason to hold up what seems to be a working improvement. Maybe people with short account trees or long line defaults might work around this bug, but clobbering the data format is a pretty serious offense. |
ledgerAlign could cause corruption in some lines where the account name was too long.
