Well done. And congratulations on getting both updates out the door.
not sure if this is the appropriate place to put a bug, sorry if it is not…
when looking at an account.
select multiple transactions.
click the “tag” icon in the lower left, this will open a “floating” window
select a tag within this window
click “Add to Selected Transactions” button.
the tag is only added to the first selected transaction.
Does Cha-Ching handle import of OFX, QIF, or CSV from online bank accounts. Couldn’t find any documentation on the site.
The Touch and the desktop versions are very different – one big difference is the touch version doesn’t seem to support tags. Why? And hte budgets are completely separate. Why?
I’m liking how the desktop version handles these two items (except for the budget multiple tag issue discussed in the forum, but that’s easy to work around for the time being), but the touch version, which i paid $3 for because i liked the desktop version, doesn’t support these features.
Any roadmap of bringing these two seemingly completely separate products a bit more inline with each other?
I’m running this under Snow Leopard and have to say, as a licensed user, I’d be much happier to see more stability and robustness of the core features (like using tagging/smart folders without crashes, some decent analysis/charting) than unnecessary glitz (like coverflow view). Just my view. Until I’m happier with the desktop app I can’t justify buying the touch version; something I’ve been looking forward to for many months.
This is good, almost good enough…keep at it.
