Today we released Quicken for Mac v5.11. There are 3 new features to check out. 1) You can now change the register font size. We had a great discussion in the v5.10 release forum post about the register font text and how some preferred the old Helvetica Neue font vs the System Font. Someone also mentioned they would still like be able to change the font size and that for many of us getting older, the current font was too small. Quicken Chris looked into it and added the feature. We kept it simple so we could add it in this release. Try it out and let us know what you think. 2) We added the ability to Transfer Share from one investment account to another one. Some would do this when they close an account and move the shares to a different brokerage. This feature will automatically create the remove and add share transactions in the different accounts with the primary goal of preserving the cost basis on the shares. 3) We added a summary report time interval of None so you don't have to look at things weekly or yearly, etc. This wasn't possible before. As always, we'll be monitoring this post for bug reports and issues so please comment here so we can see if there are problems with this release.
Thanks,
The Quicken Mac Team
Release NotesVersion 5.11.0 (March)
5.11 adds a number of long requested features and improves stability across the product.
New Features - Change register text size and transfer shares
- NEW - In 5.11, we've added a way to customize the register text size and row height. Under the View menu, click on Register Text & Row Settings to change the text size. Making the text larger will make it easier to read. Making the text smaller will allow you to squeeze more information on the screen at a time. Previously row height was in the View menu but now we've added it to this same window, so you can make all the changes at once. While viewing the register, use CMD + or - to immediately grow or shrink the register text size. This change only affects the text used in the register rows and does not affect the text labels in the register forms or other parts of the application such as the Account sidebar.
- NEW - Also in 5.11, we've added a new feature that allows you to transfer one security or all your securities from one account to another. By using this feature, Quicken will automatically create Remove and Add Share transactions in the respective accounts and maintain the cost basis information from one account to the other. Add a transaction as you normally would in your investment account and select Transfer Shares in the transaction type to start the process or click on the Transfer Shares button in the Remove Shares form.
- NEW - 5.11 also improves reports. Under Summary Reports, there's a new None time interval. Selecting None uses the time interval defined in the customize report window as the basis of your summary report.
- NEW - Added the ability to open an account in a standalone window from the thin sidebar. Click the Account menu, hold down the CMD key, and then select an account.
- NEW - Added a My Quicken Account menu item under Help to be able to quickly view and edit one's Quicken account information.
Quality Improvements
- FIXED - Fixed the Help : Quicken Community menu item so it goes to the new Quicken for Mac forum page.
- FIXED - Fixed the new thin sidebar account list menu so that it updates correctly when accounts are added, removed or changed.
- FIXED - Fixed an issue that could cause the space between the portfolio view column headers and security detail to grow with quote updates.
- FIXED - Fixed an account connectivity issue that prevented PIN reset messages from the bank displaying to customers.
- FIXED - Fixed an issue where loans would sometimes show the wrong next payment date.
- FIXED - Fixed a number of issues that could cause the application to crash.
