Hi,

The yahooqt plugin available via download is a few versions behind the source code. The most recent commits fixed the issue with stock tickers containing dashes, according to the commit messages.

Could you pls provide the latest version of the yahooqt plugin for download?

Thanks!

   I have emailed the developers asking them to build and sign the new version. I am not sure what the delay is. Hopefully this will be released soon.

   Sincerely

   Hi,

   I seems like the latest version of the plugin handles dashes in the name of a stock ticker fine (at least for the current quote, the history fails, but that's fine). That's already great.

   However, the plugin still fails to download Canadian mutual fund data. I set Google as provider for the history data, but the history download fails with a 404 error. The fund MUTF_CA:RBF556, for example, works fine through Google's website though, http://www.google.com/finance?q=MUTF_CA:RBF556.

   Any ideas?

   Thanks,
   Clemens

   Clemens,

   If you compare the pages from the link below, you will notice that the Google history for Frontline (fro) provides a download to the side and the one for RBC does not. The extension is designed to take this download and incorporate it into Moneydance. If a download is not provided Moneydance has no information to incorporate.
