- Upgrading
- =========
-
- IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION (pre 1.1) OF
- MONEYTENDER PLEASE HOTSYNC BEFORE INSTALLING AND RUNNING
- THIS VERSION.
-
- I believe that this version is fairly bug free, but due to the
- nature of the changes I made, I'd prefer that anyone who is upgrading
- take the time to hotsync and make sure their current data is backed
- up. The changes are non-destructive, however, once upgraded, some of
- those changes will be annoying if the newer databases are used with
- older versions (pre 1.1) of MoneyTender.

- Notes on using Transfers
- ========================
-
- There are come complexities about using transfers that seem to need to
- be explained. If you don't use the transfer feature of MoneyTender, then
- you can safely ignore this text.
-
- In the current versions of MoneyTender, a transfer is simply a shortcut
- to creating two register transactions in two different accounts. After
- creation there is no connection between the two. This means that if
- you edit either one of the two transactions, the other is left unchanged.
-
- For example, if you create a transfer to savings from checking for $100,
- you now have a debit in your checking account for $100 and a deposit in
- your savings account for $100.
-
- If you then change the debit in your checking account to $150, the
- deposit into savings _does_not_change_.
-
- If you delete one, you will need to manually delete the other.
-
- You *can* force a new entry into the account you are transferring to
- or from. To do this, tap on the 'T'. However, you will create a
- new entry into the other account -- you will *not* change the existing
- entry.
-
- In the above case, where we transfered $100 from checking then editing
- that amount to $150, if we tapped on the 'T', savings would then have
- a additional deposit of $150 listed as coming from checking. So savings
- would show one deposit of $100 and one deposit of $150.
-
- I realize that some of this behavior isn't the optimum behavior for
- MoneyTender, and it is likely it will be fixed in a future version.
