General Preferences - Data Dialog

This dialog is available from the Options / General Preferences... menu command.

This dialog page allows you to customize data related settings. These preferences are memorized from session to session. They include:

Automatic Backup	Specify how often and where to store the backups for the automatic backup feature. The automatic backup is performed by Fund Manager when exiting the application. The backup will be named <portfolio_filename>_<revision #>.fmb and will be located in the folder specified. Fund Manager will keep multiple backup revisions for your portfolio. Once the specified number of revisions is reached, Fund Manager will start replacing the oldest backup when it saves a new backup.
Automatic Investment Save	When this option is enabled, changes in your open investments are automatically saved at the specified time interval.
Open Last Portfolio At Startup	When this option is turned on Fund Manager will automatically open the portfolio that you had open when you last quit Fund Manager.
Prefer to use Open/High/Low/Volume	This option controls the tab order in the multiple price update dialog box. If you generally manually record open, high, low, and volume leave this turned on so the tab key will move the keyboard focus through these fields for each investment. By turning this option off you can tab from the closing price edit box of one investment straight to the next closing price edit box, without bothering to go through all the open, high, low, and volume edit boxes.
