<p>I have some ideas on that I've been discussing with Stuart. How many rows do you have? It is part of the conversation. It's likely you, Stuart, and I are Gold/Silver/Bronze in row usage, unless someone is quiet about their usage. Custom Balances is awesome, but it can "grow" quickly.</p></div>dtdtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/544761122023-04-25T05:29:41Z2023-04-25T05:29:41ZExtension: Custom Balances - suggestions<div><p>My site always holds my latest preview version.

<p>PS. Ref the link. I must be doing something different. I do click on Custom Balances. The link does not show. See screenshot.</p>
<p>@stu - thanks. Somehow, Moneydance has not alerted me.

I have no difficulty installing.<br>
I just cannot find the version number anywhere in the site - or in the links - or in the file itself. So if I have to go hunting to find a new version - only option is for me to download - install and then check if it is a new version ( which is odd ).</p>
<p>I would like to know when updates are available...</p></div>RJrontag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/544761122023-04-25T06:28:04Z2023-04-25T06:29:41ZExtension: Custom Balances - suggestions<div><p>The version numbers are more "peripheral" when they haven't been made officially available - though this one - when approved will be 1022. That said, the 1022 is usually buried a bit until approved (I tried to give you two places to look), which is why you won't see the number anywhere - it's really about (now down the rabbit hole) - go here - grab this, it "will" be the new version.</p>
<p>And the developers tell you where to look, if you want to go there.</p>
<p>As for updates - well - it's also "tentative", though Stuart told you where to subscribe to his page.</p>
<p>Again - given your interest in Custom Balances - you've passed beyond the normal (though you didn't upgrade to 1021 - which was official - shame shame (that's a joke)</p>
<p>As to like to know when updates are available - extensions don't quite work that way - go to updates in manage extensions. But this is beyond that. Hope that helps.</p></div>dtdtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/544761122023-04-25T06:30:05Z2023-04-25T06:30:05ZExtension: Custom Balances - suggestions<div><p>all good dtd - shukran!

<p>Stuart is pretty good at updating the version number inside the py file. The version is not in the read me.</p>
