MoneyMoney category export

[Xiphe]

Currently MoneyMoney does not have an API that exposes all categories and their meta-data.

Due to this, BB is extracting the categories from imported transactions.
Which has a few downsides:

• unused categories can not be shown
• order is not stable and changes whenever the oder of transactions change
• meta-data such as budget, currency can not be used
• category groups are derived from category name and therefore their ID is unknown.

I asked the MoneyMoney developer what he thinks of adding a category export API and am currently waiting for his response.
