Display "cost" as total cost and add "rate" field in resource view
Last modified: 2021-06-09 20:32:21 UTC
See subject. It would be nice to display the total project cost somewhere (the sum of the toplevel tasks).
Perhaps as an overall top level task w/name=Project Name and WBS=0. It would give a line at the top of the view to show project summary data for each of the columns.
I think that would clutter the UI unnecessarily...
Not really (at least not in my opinion... the overall project summary task would show total project duration, start & finish dates, and total cost. Its great to have as a quick summary of the project info. A item could be added to the views menu (maybe below hilight critical tasks) to toggle the display of project summary task. If you really hate that idea, an alternative would be to implement a 'status bar' in the bottom portion of the window frame like they do in those web browser thingies. You could display all sorts of useful info that's dependent on the view or whatever.
We could definitely make better use of the status bar than we currently do :)

Hello, I'm using Planner 0.14.4 as provided by Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. Sadly this functionality is not yet implemented as stated in the "Target Milestone" field. It would be very helpful to get that total in real time since often in business people must "force" a match with some pre-specified target budget (when using Planner, I invariably have to have a calculator just to add the task costs every time I alter the diagram, which is a PITA.) It doesn't matter the display position (until you decide on this, please just print to stdout the last total.) BTW, Planner helped me a lot with my projects and my quotes. Kudos for the developers.
Created attachment 210270 [details] Helper python script for getting project totals
This may help people looking for this funcionality. I've implemented a python script that parses the planner file in order to get the costs per resource and per project. May help the developers for a test case if this requirement is addressed some day. Sample output: $ ./planner_consts.py gantt.planner 1 UXA 0.0 3 DBE 4396.8 2 TQ 2342.4 4 DOC 200.0 Total: 6939.2

As another hopefully simpler idea, it could be a new column (by default hidden) in the "Tasks view", besides Cost, something like "Cumulative Cost", which simply adds vertically the Cost column's values.
