Mac Build 1542 Bugs
Two bugs I see after running build 1542 on Mac High Sierra.
1) Custom Balances extension does not run/open or show in preferences summary page setup. It shows as installed in the extension drop down and will run normally in build 1541. Same for Security Performance Graph extension.
2) Deleting a Category or Account in their (respective) list windows, and the Side Bar for Accounts, does not auto-update the lists, or sidebar. For a list to update, you have to close and reopen it. For the Sidebar you have to leave the summary page (to reminders say) and then return to it. I actually noticed this bug in build 1541, but it may be in earlier versions - I recall similar auto-refresh problems in the past.

There are many actions (like changing fonts) where you have to close and open moneydance to make it occur, so your (2) doesn't surprise me. Are you sure it didn't exist earlier than 5141? So to automatically call it a "bug" versus a normal action that you think should be different is odd. If you can show it worked before, like in 5118, then you could say that, but a lot of things in Moneydance do not auto-refresh.
I'm not saying that more auto-refreshes don't matter, or wouldn't help, I'm reacting to the word bug.... maybe you should make this a suggestion instead?

The Category list auto-refreshes after a delete in build 5117 - the oldest build I have handy. The Account list also auto-refeshes in 5117 and auto-removes from the sidebar when deleted there. I don’t know at what build either auto-refresh stopped.

Updated the Toolbox, Custom Balances and Security Performance Graph extensions from your site - newer signed versions. All work normally in build 1541. Security Performance Graph does not open in build 1542.
if I note a problem with the MD extension manager installed items in the future, I be sure to try your site's for newest signed extensions as a fix.

Can you reboot, then try SPG again and then send me help/console

Point 2: That’s probably the new sidebar since 5117. I’ve reported it to the developer.

I see the problem with SPG. A last minute change by the IK developer.... I'll have to review tomorrow....

OK, actually I just fixed SPG. Please grab latest from my site (i.e. now) and confirm all OK again? Thanks

avp2 - thanks for the more detailed look, as you say, looks like a bug crept in on the sidebar redesign. Thanks again.

You're the man Stuart. Your new SPG working now on build 5142 with mac OS High Sierra.

Point 2. I passed this along to the IK developer and I believe he has now made a bugfix to address this issue.

Been checking out the extension a bit lately. Really kind of nice given what is MD built-in.
Would now like to make a feature request. Add the capability to select graphing the selected securities by percent “valuation increase” over the chosen period. What I mean is valuation increase minus purchases (not including reinvestment of earnings) as a percentage of ending valuation - kind of a ROI. This would enable those securities with fixed share price (like a money fund) to be compared against those with varying share price.
In fact, I think being able to do a percent of valuation change (without subtractions) for selected Bank and Asset accounts might also be useful. The extension would then be a sort of super Account Balance graph.
