ROTH  mini$ is now a Java 6 application which requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later. I'll be posting a version of mini$ compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 soon, which will be available under the "Related Links" section.

ROTH  Here is the mini$ issue:

I upgraded my Mac to Snow Leopard a few months ago and I sold my Mac with Tiger on it. When I recompiled mini$ to the latest version, it was done on my new computer. Apparently, there are new libraries on SL and now, mini$ requires Leopard or later. Because when mini$ starts, it fails because the libraries it now requires are missing.

The source code is available. IF ANYONE OUT THERE wants to compile mini$ for Tiger (which would also be Leopard compatible) that would be awesome. It would fix the starting up issue.

AFRAZIER  Where is the source code available from?

Also, is there no longer a Windows version? (I know, I know, I'm on *Mac*Update, but still...)

ROTH  Yes, the reconcile process is manual. There is an arrow by the balance in the register. If you click on it, you will get some options. This helps to reconcile. For me, I always have it set to reconciled. That way, only cleared transactions are in the balance. I enter my transactions as they come, and once a week or so, I log into my bank, and check off the ones that have cleared. As I do this, the balance auto updates itself. When I have checked all the cleared ones off, my bank's balance should match mine. If not, then I have entered in a wrong amount, forgot a transaction, or I was charged something I was unaware of.

MAD4MAC  First, thank you Roth. Mini$ is terrific.

It's rather intuitive, but I am a bit confused by the reconcile process. Applications I've used in the past give a beginning and end balance, purchases and payments. I just wanted to confirm that it's a manual process in Mini$ and I'm not missing something.

Also, is there a way to deselect all in the filter if you only want one from each column?

Many thanks again,

Margaret

ROTH  And yes, you can invert a selection. You can right click/cntrl click and a menu will appear. There will be an option to "Invert selection". This flips the selection.

EROLAGNAB  I've been trying number of personal finance softwares. This is a really kick-ass application.

Simple, intuitive and powerful.

The only thing is it doesn't allow to manage account in different currencies and limited number of currencies support.

Kudo to Roth. Thanks for creating a fantastic application

SPORKULA  I have loved using Mini for quite a while. Great program.

BUT I just downloaded this patch, and I cannot open it. I'm running OS X 10.4.11. The dock icon bounces once, then stops before the program ever opens. Unfortunately, I overwrote the previous version on my computer so now I have no way to access the account and budget information I've been keeping track of over the past year.

BLU_PUG  I have successfully downloaded and opened this software on my Mac Mini with Intel Core Duo 2 running Mac OS 10.5.8. I am apparently not the sharpest knife in the drawer, however, as I can't figure out how to enter transactions, among other things. Any chance there are some rudimentary instructions somewhere?

Thx!

SIERRA LADY  I tried several times but cannot get mini$ to launch in my PPC Mac running 10.4.11. It shows for a quarter-second in the dock and then disappears. It stays in my application, but no matter how I try to open it, it won't!!!
