Where is the More Accounts in the Account Bar on Quicken Mac - Hidden accounts not working as expect
Hidden accounts is not working as expected. In QW we were able to hide accounts but still have access to them in the account list under a separate 'More Accounts' field. This is missing in Quicken for Mac, so you can no longer hide accounts. In the hide account feature there are two checkboxes - neither one works as expected. Please make it work the way Windows does. I now have to keep every account unhidden which is a pain when many are currently unused. I still want all these accounts showing in reports, I just don't want them on my sidebar if they are not used that often.

If you go to Accounts > Hide and Show Accounts, you see there are two checkboxes for hiding accounts. Checking the box for Lists will hide the account in the left sidebar, in the transaction register for All Accounts, in the dropdown list of accounts in the Transfer field of transactions, and anywhere there's a Filter for selecting accounts. Checking this box basically lets you see historical data from the account in reports, but doesn't give you access to make new transactions or even notice the account in the main window. Checking the second box for Reports will hide the account from all reports and graphs.
I'm a longtime Mac user, so not familiar with the Windows version, but if you're saying you want the accounts to show in reports but not in the sidebar, then checking the Hide in Lists checkbox and not the Hide in Reports checkbox should accomplish exactly wheat you are asking for. This is exactly how I have all my closed/defunct accounts configured in Quicken 2015.
If that doesn't work the way you're expecting, please elaborate on what you are trying to do that this configuration does not accomplish.
In my mind, these accounts are not really hidden but completely blocked from access.
Microsoft Money used to implement this a different way. They would allow you to mark accounts as 'Favorites' and that determined what would show up automatically. But you still had access to all the other accounts. On the Mac version, you do not. So for this reason, the hide accounts does not work at all for me and cannot be used. I hope this explains it better.
That said, we all have different ways we'd like to configure the software around our own financial tracking methodologies, so I'm all for changes to make the software more configurable. During beta testing of Quicken 2015, a number of people expressed interest in being able to custom-configure various aspects of the left sidebar, and I'd encourage you to visit this web page: http://intuitquicken.zuberance.com/reviewV2/start/92868615 to express your desire to be able to have hidden accounts accessible via "More Account" or something similar in the left sidebar. (You can type a detailed description in the "Did we miss your favorite feature?" box.) The developers are using this web page to gather input from users about what features and performance tweaks to make to the software as they continue to develop it.
