1. At one time you had the main window set up so that interest rates showed in brackets next to the account names, all in that same window and it was so easy to compare all the rates for my various accounts at a glance.
However, now if I want to compare several interest rates I need to select an account, go to Edit>Modify Accounts, check the interest rate I've typed into the notes box, jot that down, close that window, select a new account, go again to Edit>Modify Accounts ... and continue that process until I have a note of all the rates I need. Then I can compare them.
It would be wonderful if I could have that old feature back! For those who say they don't want to see the interest rates in the main window, perhaps you could add an option in preferences to show or hide them.
2. On the subject of Edit>Modify Accounts ... if you click OK on this window the accounts on the main window roll up into their categories (the nodes close) and then immediately unroll again. If, however, you click Cancel then the accounts roll up and stay that way until they're manually unrolled. Obviously, in either case the nodes shouldn't be affected.
Once again, many thanks for your continuing hard work to make Buddi the best personal finance application around!
1) That should not be a problem... I can't remember why I removed it in the first place (I think that it was just something that I missed when converting to the new 3.0 version). Can you please add a feature request via the Buddi web site (http://buddi.thecave.homeunix.org/en/support.jsp)? I only rarely read these comments, and generally use the official feature request list for new features / bugs. If it is on the official list, I tend to remember it better.
2) This is an annoying bug which I have been aware of for some time; however, from what I can tell, it is a bug in the third party component I am using. I will look into it some more to see if I can figure out what is causing it.
Cheers
I have added an 'Available Funds' column on the My Accounts screen, if you have either overdraft or credit limit active in Preferences. This will show you either the amount of money left before you reach your credit limit (for Credit accounts), or the amount of money you can spend before reaching your overdraw limit (Debit accounts).
This is not yet in the stable version, but is in a development preview release 3.3.0.0 - if you are interested, you can grab it from http://buddi.thecave.homeunix.org/builds/ . Note that this is not tested, and there have been some changes to the data model, which may corrupt your data. If you *save* using this version, you will not be able to open it in previous versions, so please backup your data before running this!
Please let me know if you have any further questions / comments about this feature.
Cheers
I can easily re-add that field, sort of as a 'for information only', and make a note that it does not calculate interest.
Cheers
(FYI, 3.3.0.0 will be released as a development release, and will probably take a bit of time to become considered stable. At the very latest, though, you can use this feature in 3.4.0.0, which will be the first 'stable' release after 3.3.x. See http://buddi.thecave.homeunix.org/en/faq.jsp, "How do I interpret your version numbers?" for information on how I determine the version number.)

As another poster pointed out, since this is Java, even the launcher itself does not matter - it runs in a special virtual machine, which itself is implemented in either Intel of PPC instructions.

I'm very grateful to the developer for making this application perfect by fixing all the issues, adding features and hitting all the little buggies on the head :-)
Buddi is better then the professional accounting applications as far as personal finance is concerned, after all who needs profit & loss account, balance sheet and cash flow statement for home use.

... for sorting out my point no. 3 below. The transaction window now looks very clear and is nicely presented - a pleasure to use.
Regarding point no. 2, I now accept that headings are not necessary.
It would be good if the developer could turn his attention to point no. 1 as well.
The reason I was unable to do this before was due to the problems changing the data file format - the old version of the Buddi data file was not very resilient to change, and could easily become corrupted if I changed too much. In 3.0, I have completely redone the data model from scratch, and thus was able to make some architectural changes which I have wanted to for some time, but have been unable to do previously.
Cheers

1. The Reconciliation and Clear are marked between two accounts in the application which are obviously reconciled by definition as the application post the two sides of each transaction simultaneously. The developer fails to understand that reconciliation means between each Buddy account and its respective bank statement.
2. The columns are not headed.
3. Each transaction has two Details lines which make the transaction window appear messy after being filled with many transactions. A column which would only show the "other side" account should be created instead.

Other than that, still a great app!
As for Cyberduck, it is a Cocoa-java application, while Buddi is a pure Java application (using Swing as the GUI). To make a long and boring technical story short, they are compiled and launched in different ways, and are not equivalent to each other. Since Buddi is designed to be cross platform, I have no plans to convert it to Cocoa-java, as it would lose all cross platform support.
Basically, whatever slowdowns you are experiencing should not be due to the processor architecture; it may be due to an increase in the number of transactions, although that really should not be noticeable. Once I get some more time, and the volume of feature requests decreases a little, I may take some more time to profile Buddi and see where most of the time is being spent. If you give me a little more information, I may be able to give you a better answer (for instance, where do you notice the slowdown? Is it at startup? Is it when you resize a window? When you add a transaction?)
Hope this helps
Cheers
