Question: How to automatically open a file (wallet) at HomeBank launching ?
Answer: Probably you need a little remind about basics on Amiga, you have 2 solutions: - running from the WB: you can uses the wallet icons as you must know, first check the Default Tool in the icon, it must point to the complete path where HomeBank can be found (by default it is set to "/HomeBank". Then double-click on the icon !! You can of course changes the icon images with an appropriate tool if you want ;-)) - running from the CLI, invoke HomeBank with the filename to open. HomeBank will look for that file in the default wallet directory. exemple: HomeBank myself.hb (will open <default-wallet>/myself.hb)
Question: Can you increase the size of the "Info" field ?
Answer: Definitively no... This field is NOT A COMMENT FIELD !!!!.... Its only purpose is to specify some numbers related to the "Mode" of payment. I mean: date, cheque number, transfert id, and so on. If you uses it as a comment field, then feel ashamed...
Question: Can you make the thousands separator/currency symbol configurable ?
Answer: It is not necessary, HomeBank (since v1.8) uses the locale settings. These strings are settable using the appropriate country file (Prefs/Locale -> Country gadget).
