Saving Setup

Mark,
I have been a long time user of your products and have been experiencing what I think is a new functionality that is a pain.

I have configured Fund Manager to display My trends on the left 3/4 of the Fund Manager window and the Portfolio editor on the right 1/4. I use two monitors (Different sizes 28 wide and a 22 wide) and at times slide the fund Manager window between them. Many times when I reduce Fund Manager to the task bar and then restore It no longer fills the entire Fund Manager Window or the aspect changes. I have to resize the windows to display the Graph axis by tiling the windows which makes the windows of equal size inside the Fund Manager window. This never use to happen to my knowledge. Is there a setting or group of settings where I can fix the position and size of each window and have them always appear full to display my graph axis. inside the Fund Manager window.

Also in a future release would it be possible to add a Stick Note function to an investment to attach to the graph pages. (So each investment could have it's own sticky note or notes like in Windows 7). This would be a great addition to keep information easily viewable about an investment.

I Think this happens when I move from the smaller window to the larger. Is there any way to keep the aspects no matter what the screen size. I can send screen captures of the before and after if you would like to see but they were too big to attach. Even if when you select Tile across if it would restore to how you had it set up instead of 50% 50% with the trend on the right would be acceptable.

Also I have a screen capture of what the sticky note would look like if you wanted to see just using the windows sticky note on top of an investment but it is too big to send also.

Hi Jim,

When you resize the top level Fund Manager window this does not affect the size of the child windows (graphs, reports, portfolio editor). By switching between monitors you are resizing the top level window. Nothing has really changed here in Fund Manager for quite some time. Maybe what would be helpful is an option so that when you resize the top level window the child windows are all resized proportionally.

Have you seen the "Notes" feature? You can create as many investment notes as you want, and they show up on investment based graphs as note markers. Note markers look like a plus sign (+). If you put your cursor over these note markers the text will display in a popup window, and also in the status bar. Notes are associated with a particular date.
