Beware of corrupting your database, as is seemingly a problem with this version. The culprit is use of certain Unicode chars in your description. If you don't know what that means, that's my point; you should not have to. Data loss and of integrity corruption is the MOST serious issue any program dealing with serious information can have. I sincerely hope the developers listen and rectify this glaring hole.
More on this here in this (somewhat fuming, but I was really pissed off) forum post: http://pacificturtle.free.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=218#p218
Works pretty well after some tweaking in Interface Builder. (Why the hell isn't there a keyboard-command for New Transaction!?) Nice-looking. Devs working on Leopard version, purportedly with lots of extraneous, irritating animations ;)
Export of all transactions from all accounts to XML is a must in the next version. No one wants to be locked in any more. (Bye Microsoft.)
