Fava Tips

  • fava --read-only is supposedly less vulnerable to arbitrary file write, which is a feature of Fava (not a bug).
  • Only accounts opened with fava-uptodate-indication: TRUE metadata are supposed to have up-to-date balance tracking (i.e. last entry should be a balance check) and have colored indicators for these. If there are any misses, they are also included in “Copy balance directives” in the Statistics page.

Bugs and Missing Features

Rendered Precision

Defined in core/display_context.py, fractional_common is inferred from the most common number of fractional digits in all postings of the specific currency.

There are requests to make this customizable, but it’s not implemented yet. Issue #171

Fava Export to Excel

Fava’s Excel and CSV export only works for BQL queries. You can’t export the balance sheet or income statement.
