Hi Rick
I can see you have changed the theme did you find ensure in System Preferences/General Show Scroll Bars is set to 'Always'?
If yes as I am not a Mac user I think we have to wait for Mike to jump in, sorry.

Hi Rick, please could you run Quote Loader and either post the error log or display the console (help/Console), copy it to the clipboard, paste it to a file and post the file.
Thanks
MIke

just a user - as one who tested QL on a mac, another thing that happens upon starting out is (assuming you are using the default securities/currencies on the same page) is that the currencies window is almost the entire page, so securities are hidden by that window.
see if you can find the demarcation with your cursor (which you've changed to always, correct?) and drag the currency window downward to expose the securities window.
It APPEARS you have what I say above, and the currency window appears complete, but as I say, way too large, and you need to expose the securities.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply!
Here's the log file as you requested.
Thanks,

Hi dtd,
I tried just about anything possible with these window settings, sizes and themes.
Sometimes I see one or a few buttons, sometimes when I click Get Prices I get some currencies but nothing else, sometimes noting but a blank window...
Scroll bars are set to "Always".
Cheers,
Rick

Once you have resized the tables QL should remember the sizes.

Thanks Rick
There is a bug that causes a java exception so it will not display
correctly. I will need to correct this. Can you go back to 3058?
1. You can find it here:
https://bitbucket.org/mikerb/moneydance-2019/downloads/.
2. Download securityquoteload3058.mxt
3. Rename it to securityquoteload.mxt.
4. Start MD, use Extensions/Manage Extensions to remove Quote Loader
5. Use 'Add from File' and choose the renamed file
6. Restart MD
I will work on a fix.
Regards
Mike

Rick, I have uploaded an updated build to https://bitbucket.org/mikerb/moneydance-2019/downloads/. It is called securityquoteload3201.mxt. Download and rename as above. You will receive the red bar, ignore this. If it works then I will submit to Sean for approval.

Mike,
I updated to Quote Loader 3200.20 under Moneydance 2022.6 (4097) and Mac OS 13.2.1.
I use it a lot to manually update prices. Now, when I put in the new prices, all appears OK but when I click Select All Lines, Save Selected Lines, the Price Date displayed shows 00/00/0000 but the new price is kept. But when I Close and then run QL, all of the new data is gone and the old prices and dates are displayed.
I tried reading the pdf, but the column titles don't even match; and I don't see any discussion here.
Help, please.

Hi davet65
I think you are missing out a step.
After you manually put in the New Price you need to click into the Trade Date field and select a date. After that you can then click Select All Lines, Save Selected Lines.
I think you may be reading an old PDF. Download the new PDF from post 1 https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/discussions/investments/7595-quo...
That is PDF Quote Loader V2 Extension Moneydance 2019 to 2022 V11.1
Hope this helps.

You are correct, derekkent23. When I do what you say, it works.
But that is NOT what it did before the update. I could enter a new price, arrow down to the next security and continue updating. It would automatically fill in today's date. Very easy manual entry. And to make it worse - for me - 2x clicking in Trade Date does bring up a calendar - for FEBRUARY! So I would have to manually select the Trade Date, with multiple clicks, for each and every security. That is a show-stopper for me.
I like the % chg and amt chg, but losing the automatic date entry will have me looking elsewhere. Sorry.
Is there a way to get back to the prior version? I have used the install/update within MD.
My suggestion is that QL should automatically fill in the Trade Date with today's date if a manual price update is entered, and clicking in the Trade Date would allow you to edit that date.

Hi davet65
I will bring you concerns to Mike attention he may be able to do something.
43 Posted by davet65 on 18 Mar, 2023 04:30 PM
Thanks, derekkent23. I appreciate your help and interest.
I can't be the only one who routinely enters lots of manual updates - necessary for reasons that are personal and dictated by my security holdings. But the old version made that easy.

Hi davet65
You can revert back to build 3058 for the time being.
1. You can find it here:
https://bitbucket.org/mikerb/moneydance-2019/downloads/.
2. Download securityquoteload3058.mxt
3. Rename it to securityquoteload.mxt.
4. Start MD, use Extensions/Manage Extensions to remove Quote Loader
5. Use 'Add from File' and choose the renamed file
6. Restart MD
Hope this helps.
45 Posted by davet65 on 18 Mar, 2023 07:15 PM
Is it OK to ignore the warning about the file being considered unsafe? I seem to recall that was an issue before QL was incorporated into MD more fully.
46 Posted by derekkent23 on 18 Mar, 2023 07:37 PM

Hi davet65
Downloaded from Mike site its completely safe.
The warning just means it has not been signed by Sean and loaded under Extensions – Manage Extensions.
In all other respects it’s the same as the signed version.
Hope this helps.
47 Posted by davet65 on 18 Mar, 2023 07:44 PM
Thanks; that's what I thought I remembered but needed to be reassured.
3058 installed and works just like I remember - and want!
I'm set for my needs, and won't update until I see that this issue has been fixed.
Thanks again, derekkent23.

Hi Mike,
Just followed your instructions and it appears version 3201 works well.
Thanks for your support, it's highly appreciated!
Rick

Derek has let me know, I am preparing a small fix and will add this to
it. Sorry if some functionality didn't transfer when I rewrote the
interface.
Regards
Mike

Thanks Rick, that's a relief, I couldn't reproduce it on my Mac,
however, the log you provided told me what the error was and I put a
check in to overcome it.

Mike
