From: dave on 18 Feb 2010 21:27 Upon downloading closing prices, I noted that the dowload manager indicated a new update. The Release Notes included the statement: "User Interface and Navigation The preference Use Enter to key to move between fields now only applies to the registers. It no longer changes the behavior of the enter key in the rest of the product." I do not know what the tech writer thinks a "register" is, but for versions through Q2010 R5, one could input information in investment accounts moving from field to field by hitting either the Tab key or the Enter key. R7 appears to only use mouse movements to move between fields. In my opinion, this is an unnecessary product degradation. Yes, I checked Preferences to verify that the update did not change my preference. Intuit seems to have skipped R6. The release notes for R7 are posted at-- http://quicken.intuit.com/support/articles/using-quicken/release-notes/7527..html
From: jslcr1 on 19 Feb 2010 06:53 That is interesting as I use the tab button to move from field to field and then use the "enter" key to finish my entry. R6 was probably an internal release for testing. I have not installed R7 yet. I usually wait for to see what problems come up. Also I do not allow Quicken to download the new release after I use do my updates. I manually download and then install.

They took away the time stamp from the append date option, so FINALLY (for the first time in Q2010 I believe), we have the ability to create different backups on different dates overriding the single day backup and sortable by name! Hurray!!! My hard drive disk space manager thanked me this morning. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Regards - - Andrew

Hurray!!! My hard drive disk space manager thanked me this morning. Yippee! And there's a check box to turn off the successful backup message, too. We can now change the number of times we run Quicken before it does an auto backup, so now my auto backups don't happen daily (or sometimes more frequently). The one thing I don't like, is that the Memo field now shows in the one-line register view, making the register awfully crowded. The only option is to change the order of the Memo and Category fields. It would be nice to be able to not show the Memo field in one-line display if we choose. Not a big deal though. Well worth it for the other changes! :-) Regards, Margaret |
