KEYBOARD SHORTCUT FOR BACKUPS (1 merged vote)

edited February 2020 in Backups and File Conversion (Mac)
Before the break with Intuit, or so, there was a keyboard shortcut for "Save a Backup". I'm on the go with my laptop, and often save backups to a Google Drive folder providing add'l cloud backup. I miss this shortcut and would love to see it return. CMD/CTRL B. Thank you.

    Are you using Quicken Mac Subscription? You can set a keyboard shortcut for any Mac application, including Quicken, using System Preferences. See this:

    Since Quicken stopped using .NET framework I have had constant episode during One Step Update and Quotes downloads that the screen goes black. The progress box remains and says that Quicken is not responding. This last for several seconds and the normal screen is restored and the download ends successfully. Is there going to be a fix for this?

    Hello @dnelson

    Thank you for taking the time to visit the Community to post your issue, although I apologize that you haven't received a response.

    If you are still needing assistance with the "screen flicker" you are experiencing, I would start with uninstalling using the QcleanUI utility and then reinstalling the Quicken application.

    Let us know how it goes!

    Hi @Quicken_Tyka ,

    It also goes to a Black Screen while backing up as well. And I have uninstall and reinstalled without fixing this problem. It has been introduced two or three R# back.

    Before going to a Black Screen, it use to go to an all white screen.

    I have the same issues as well. Not sure about the Net framework part but the rest is absolutely exactly the same

    It would be helpful to be able to open the "save a backup" dialog via Command B. Also, "save a backup" should open to the last file system location a backup was done
  • kenmc411kenmc411 Member ✭✭
    That's awesome. Thanks. Now if it opened to the last save location that would be outstanding.

    How about setting another similar keyboard shortcut for the menu File > Show Backups in Finder. For example, if you have set Command-B as Save a Backup, then set Command-Option-B as Show Backups.

    Alternatively, you could use a macro utility such as Keyboard Maestro ($36) to make a keyboard shortcut that would activate both menu commands.
