Default Re: One thing the M05 update doesn't change

I noticed it after I posted to you. It doesn't restore a UI for this setting
but otherwise accomplishes what it promises to.

They weren't last night when I tested. What's the trick? I only care to get
it in the FAQ. I'm not doing production anything in M05.

BTW, who is this "most users" we keep hearing about in connection with M05?
Was there an election or something I missed?

Since I was never asked, I can only assume that some population perceived to
be representative, somehow, of "users" was consulted. Who were these people?
Existing users? Selected to be representative of all of us how? People who

who said they might consider using Money if only it was different like

It's like the "most users prefer" Essential stuff. What's with that? What

If you upgrade an M04 file with Food:Groceries and Foodining Out
categories pre-existing and with transactions using them, you end up with
Food, Dining Out, and Groceries as three separate root level categories--it
unfolds the two subcategories.

(Or at least I have in two trials out of two, one before the recent update
and the other after. Others have reported this as well.)

Hmm.... I have it setup exactly that way, and neither the Money update or
the file update changed anything.... Are you taking about predefined
catagories if one were to create a new file, or do you mean it changes your
catagory setup for your exsiting data file?

Default Re: One thing the M05 update doesn't change

M05 is the first of ***12*** Money updates that changes categories that
pre-exist in an upgraded file. It does mangle it: it changes pre-existing
data without permission or warning. I couldn't care less what "most users"
want and what the default is for a new file. If I wanted my existing data
that way, I could change it to being that way rather than having to change
it back from that way.

BTW, I do know how to change it. See http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=163.

Default Re: One thing the M05 update doesn't change

It doesn't mangle it... this is a preferred setting... most users requested
that Dining Out and Groceries were two separate things and did not want them
in the same category... the default is setup this way... if you don't like
it, change it.

In the "Category" list select the "Groceries" category... right click it...
click "Move" and then enter "Food : Groceries" as the destination.

The same for the "Dining Out" category... move it to "Food : Dining Out".
This will take care of all the prior transactions as well as all of your new
transactions that you enter.
