Blair, Thanks but there's no need for that. The only reason I didn't take the time to enhance the way MoneyWell references receipts was the lateness with which it was added to 1.4. MoneyWell uses an Apple database technology called Core Data and it doesn't like being in a package. An OS X package is nothing more than a folder with a special flag that keeps you from looking into it by accident. The three options I wanted to add to MoneyWell were to reference, move, or copy receipts. By default in a future release, receipts will be moved into the MoneyWell folder (in their own Receipts folder) under Application Support. You will also have the option to move this folder or change your receipt folder reference to a different folder. This should cover all the bases and keep from doubling storage (unless you specifically ask MoneyWell to copy the files). I'll also add some sort of direct capture in a future release as well.
