I configured the schtasks (Win 7, the newer, much updated replacement for the limited AT scheduling command line utility), to have Fund Manager retrieve quotes twice a day on weekdays.
This works well. But, if an instance of Fund Manager is already open, which is often the case, this open instance of Fund Manager is not automatically updated: there is apparently no trigger forcing the open instance to reread the new quote values from the updated DAT files: the prices in the Data Register do not show the new values, and the graphs, even if reopened, do not show the latest quotes.
An easy manual fix is to Close Portfolio/Open Portfolio. A dirty automated solution would be to kill the Fund Manager process, and re-launch it, but I am wary of corruption and loss of updates in the open instance.
A /R command-line option (refresh) would be cool to somehow neatly save/close/reopen FM. Unless Mark has another trick in his bag?
