I'm not seeing that claim here. I'm reading it as an issue of lack of desired control and interaction.Chris_QPW said:...
The claims have always been that for some reason that because a term like "automatic entry" gets slapped on to a given process it is "dangerous" (from the title of this thread). And that isn't true.
The "review" process is no more or less "dangerous" than the "accept" process.

As I have argued, as well as others, it is far more than just different. The current design may work for some, but I know it does not work for everyone. In fact, this is the third TOP requested feature out of literally hundreds and hundreds, and I would say for very good reasons.Chris_QPW said:...
In my opinion the MAIN reason for complaints is that it is DIFFERENT that what people are use to.
One thing to understand is that there's nothing wrong with deleting many of Quicken's default categories, but it will mean that auto-categorization by Quicken won't work well for you in the future. Quicken's auto-categorization uses crowd-sourced, anonymized data to know that "Safeway" should be categorized as groceries. But I have a top-level category called Groceries from decades ago (which I don't know if I created or some original version of Quicken created), and Quicken Mac has a default category of Food & Dining with a sub-category of Groceries; if I delete Quicken's categories, then their auto-categorization engine won't match to my self-created. I have an "Auto:Fuel"; Quicken Mac has "Auto & Transport:Gas & Fuel", so if I delete Quicken's defaults and keep my own, it won't know to put "Exxon" in my "Auto:Fuel" category.garry4 said:What I wasn't expecting was that Quicken would install and and quick fill to its own a set of default categories. Of course it makes perfect sense for a new user but it irritated the heck out of me. In any event, I have nuked the Quicken defaults so this should improve with time.
Yeah… it doesn't work like that at all.garry4 said:Now if I didn't scare off our moderator maybe he will read this and forward the thread to the powers that be.

I hope you realize that the two methods I was describing were from Quicken Windows. The second one which closely resembles what Quicken Mac does.garry4 said:Chris,
I appreciate the care and thought you put in your very comprehensive response. The detail is helpful but it also illustrates my quarrel with how Mac reconciles.
Reconcile in Quicken Windows.
HAHA... I was so caught up in the comments and replies, I overlooked the original title... so I got a different sense through the comments and lost sight of the original context by the OP. oops.Chris_QPW said:"It's dangerous that QMac automatically enters and clears downloaded transactions."smayer97 said:I'm not seeing that claim here.
