Bug Report 1

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Just a quick note to say that I’ve noticed an error in v3.0 of Earnings Tracker. When you display a spreadsheet showning several months, the months are not listed in the correct order. This bug will be fixed in the next version of Earnings Tracker.

Earnings Tracker - FREE Accounting Software

Looking forward to the next version

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Now that version  3.0 of Earnings Tracker is out of the way, we’re concentrating our efforts on what will either be version 3.1 or version 4.0, depending on how many updates we make.

Currently, I know that the way that months are edited will change, as will the way that they are deleted. Instead of users needing to enter text into text boxes, they will be able to click on items, which is a much more elegant way of doing things.

I might also allow users to select the columns they want to display when they are viewing a spreadsheet. I find myself that when I’m viewing a spreadsheet I have to do a lot of horizontal scrolling, whereas there are probably only six or seven columns that I want to view on a regular basis.

None of the features described above address accounting functionality, such as the generation of dividend certificates, and the like. Additional accounting functionality will be addressed, but I’m not sure whether it will be in the next version or in subsequent versions. Naturally, the success or failure of Earnings Tracker as a free accounting package will depend on it usefulness and ease of use, so these are always my main considerations when developing the software.
