[LemonPOS-general] Final questions/bugs/features

[DR <sur...@gm...>]

Hi Miguel(and everyone else),

I now understand that your moving away from this project and only have an interest in making it 100% stable in its current form. I had a few final things I wanted to ask about. They are all consolidated below. Please understand that I do not expect you to be able or want to do all of the below. Just let me know honestly what is possibly or what you are already considering.

My only goal at this stage is to have some stable longevity with LemonPOS because its so close to be perfect for all our needs:


QUESTION:-For transactional databases, I have been told that using INNODB is much better option over MyISAM. LemonPOS currently runs on MyISAM. Are there features specific to MyISAM that LemonPOS and its database require? Would it be safe to convert the database to INNODB for posterity or would this be dangerous in your opinion?

BUG:-There is a persistent bug in the UI of LemonPOS in which, if you click on, and then away from, and then on again the CASH field, it can become visibly unusable. IE: If you click in the box and type, you cant visibly see what your typing, but it does still calculate against the Total amount in the Change field. More than anything, this becomes really confusing for users and is the only 'glitch' that anyone has experienced in the last year, although it happens almost every day.

BUG or FEATURE?:-It is currently impossible to 'CANCEL A TICKET' on all Card transactions. Can this be changed? It makes balancing/End of Day closing, and refunding really manual and complicated when mistakes have been made or someone returns an item.

BUG: When multiple item transactions are processed, the total + tax often gets calculated to 4 decimal points instead of two. The result of this happening is that it tells us that for example: $50.22 is owing, when in fact there are hidden decimal points that think that (for example) $50.2239 is owing. The problem: If we type in $50.22 and try to finish the transaction, it says that not enough cash has been entered to cover the total.

FEATURE:-Part Card/Part Cash payment. Is there any chance this feature could be added? I realize this one might be a bit more complicated.

FEATURE:- In Lemon, it would be amazing to have the option of a PRODUCT TABLE instead of a PRODUCT GRID. Since this option is in Squeeze, I thought it may be easy to make this option uniform



Thanks for all your work and attentiveness. Im excited to see what CoinBox POS becomes,
