[moneydance] Moneydance 2007 beta1

[Vitor Ribeiro]

The new GUI looks great.

I was just a bit disappointed that some of the bugs which have been  
reported for a long time in the bug tracking system are still there  
(e.g. QIF export of investment accounts). The new budget system seems  
to be buggy too - at least the budget reporting is showing some  
problems (e.g. income is shown as negative value but income budget is  
shown as positive value, hence the calculated difference is wrong ->  
e.g. budget = 100$ current value = -100!!!! -> difference = 200 
$ !!!!!! where it should be 0$) I have reported this to the bug  
tracking system already.
I also noticed that when I open an existing MD file with a budget and  
I try to edit the budget, then the starting date is always set to  
1.1.1970.

OK, I know it is the 1st beta, however I like MD since it has many  
advantages over other programs for the Mac platform. What I don't  
like is that investments can't be managed from within MD (e.g.  
reporting, profit calculations ......) since the existing tools are  
not sophisticated enough. Hence, one has to export the investment  
data and to do the analyzes using external tools -> stuck!!!

One last thing. I would expect that when I export ALL data (QIF  
export) and then import it back into an empty file, to get EXACTLY  
the same accounts and values per account. Unfortunately this is not  
the case with MD (2006 & 2007) - Just try it. Am I doing something  
wrong? Can somebody on this list verify this behavior of MD?
