BOBBYD I'd love to see a more customizable reporting function all-around. I love the program, but am not a huge fan of the way the html reports print. Maybe an xml output option, and some xsl??

TRINA In the short time I have used Mini$, I'm really impressed with the layout and the ease of use. I have come upon a problem, though, in that when entering a new transaction, the categories do not include donations that need to be tax related. Unless I have missed something, the category field will not allow me to type in a customized word. Any suggestions? I can't use "gift" because some are not tax related. | |

ROTH The categories that come with mini$ upon its initial run are just a few starters. You can't edit the category field directly while creating a transaction, but you can use the"Categories" option to add/edit/remove categories and subcategories.

ROTH The source code is now available from the mini$ home page, as well as versions for other systems and languages. Just use the "Developer" link above to access the mini$ site.

For all 2.x users upgrading to 3.x, make sure to make a copy of your data. Budgets have been completely reworked and are no longer compatible. If you do not like the new budgeting system, you will want that backup for going back to 2.x.

MALLOW This is by far the best free personal finance tool I've used, and I've tried them all. It's fast, robust, and handles everything I throw at it. The ability to split transactions, set budgets (with rollovers), create reports, search abilities, and totals view are all useful. I can also tell that Roth has put a lot of effort into making the UI flow naturally from task to task. However, I would say that the UI is still the weakest part of mini$. That is not to say that it is bad, but it has some problems that have simple fixes. Of course, simple fixes may not be so simple to implement.

ROTH For those that are interested, there is a mini$ 3.0 beta available. http://rothearl.googlepages.com/minimoney_eng_3B.zip mini$ 3 has been rewritten from the ground up using a test driven development model. Note: Make a backup of your 2.x data. mini$ 3 uses a new budgeting scheme and it is not compatible with 2.x budgets.

CREATIVE ARTS & TECHNOLOGIES Seems to work after a brief tests of 3.0 The green 3 looks a bit like from a "Shrek 3" movie poster I must say ;-) While I went to multi-currency capable commercial MoneyDance for Mac, Win and Linux, everybody who works just in one country will certainly be happy with Mini$ at no cost. P.s.: Roth, If you still like to offer a German download, I have finished that one quite a while ago. Just give me a shout. Ideally on info@catmedia.us

Will you eventually support Linux on version 3? | |

ROTH Here is the jar for Linux/Unix: http://rothearl.googlepages.com/minimoney_eng.jar

Finally I had some time to test mini$ on my linux box (and old machine running Ubuntu 8.10). I just want to let you know that it's running just fine. | |

SUNNYBROMO On eporblem noted: If you change the name of an expense category after already assigning it to several transactions, it will not update the transactions with the new category name. Rather, it designates them all as 'uncategorized'. Pretty frustrating, but lesson learned-- luckily I found this out when I just started. EDIT: This seems to only have effected transactions in which the renamed category was used in a 'split' (to assign different portions of a single transaction to seperate categories). The ones categorized outright seem to have updated okay.

ROTH After reading your issue, I went through some tests and could not get it to reproduce. The expected behavior is as follows: 1) If you change the name of a category, all transactions (including splits) are updated with the new name. 2) If you delete a subcategory, all transactions will be updated (including splits) with the name of its group category. 3) If you delete a group category, all transactions (including splits) will be updated and the category will be assigned "Not categorized". All tests pass. Only two options: 1) You deleted the category first, and then created a new one, thinking this the same as editing. 2) You have a special corner case which I do not have a test for. If this is the case, I suggest you contact me at rothearl@gmail.com to pursue this issue further (assuming you are interested). | |
