QoL Feature: Exclude all transactions of specific account from reports, dashboard and Forecast

[St0rml]

Feature Description
This feature would add an option for an account to exclude all transactions of this account from forecast, reports and the dashboard. I.e. this option would exclude this account every time when "All accounts" is chosen somewhere. For UI this could be done in the account edit dialog e.g. like so:

So basically quite similar to the "Exclude from reports" checkbox which is used for categories, but also extending to forecast!

Why does Budget need this feature?
I have a use case where I want to track an account in NC-Budget, but it's not really relevant for my own financial standing or has any influence on my assets. I've found it quite difficult to exclude the transactions of this account from my dashboards, and it's impossible to exclude these from my forecast, so the forecast functionality is essentially useless to me.
There are certain workarounds, but it would be extremely easy to just exclude all transaction of a specific account.

Please consider including this functionality or something similar into Budget, thank you!

Implemented — this will ship in the next release.

You can now tick Exclude from reports, dashboard & forecast in an account's edit dialog (just like your mock-up). When it's set, the account stays fully tracked but is left out of every "all accounts" total:

• Its transactions and balance are excluded from reports (spending, income, cash flow, trends, tags), the dashboard (totals, charts and summary tiles), the forecast, net worth, total balance, and category budgets — everywhere "All accounts" is aggregated.
• The account still appears in your accounts list (with an Excluded badge) and on its own detail page, and its transactions still show in the transactions list, so you can keep using and reconciling it normally.
• If you explicitly select the account in a report or forecast, that view still works on its own — the exclusion only applies to the combined figures.

You can toggle it off again at any time and the account immediately rejoins all totals (everything is derived live, nothing is cached).

Thanks for the suggestion and the clear mock-up — it made the intended behaviour easy to build.

Excluded accounts are being excluded from everything, not just the "all" views. Unable to generate reports or create Dashboard widgets/tiles for an excluded account even when the excluded account is the only one chosen.

Fixed in #309.
