Hi - I think I have this symbol behavior figured out now. If I shut down AB with the Symbols tab selected, then AB will fill the symbol tree when it starts again. But if I shut it down with another tab selected and then switch to the Symbols tab, the tree is not filled and there are no boxes to expand Markets, Groups etc ( as shown in attached pic ) and then I need to Refresh All to fill the tree.. So my 2 questions are
1. TJ, is the new symbols window supposed to work this way? 2. Is that how it works for other people too, or just on my machine? TIA for any info !

See how categories work: http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_workspace.html What you should do is to MOVE symbols listed in wrong category using organize assignments and then use View->Refresh All.

Not sure when it started, I think either with addition of GICS support or when TJ recently updated the QP plugin and I had to revert from Gary's plugin back to TJ's. Anyway, I went to Symbol > Organize Assignments, looked around and saw that everything looked intact, closed the window and then tickers appeared in the tree again. Ara - In your case could the second Utilities be "left over" from a previous classification? That happened to me once when QP eliminated one or two industries. I removed the tickers and renamed it back to default name, then updated from the QP database and it remained empty with original name.

I am also having a big problem in "groups". Nothing seems to be listed correctly in common stocks, etf's and others. This was after a complete reload of quotes plus database. Any insight appreciated. I sent a message to qp but maybe it is the wrong place.
