Hmm... I wonder it this might be why time machine is failing when I have moneywell open. The little bit of tracing I have done seems to be a write (save) while read error. I have been trying to get a better trace with a bit clearer evidence of exactly what is going on before I reported it. To the package vs core data file method: I thought that the data file could be part of a package allowing for a mixed approach. I am pretty new to OS X programing (I am a *nix person though [actually remember building linux kernel 0.9.11]) so I might not understand the whole thing quite right yet. My thought is that separating the receipt storage from the actual record data will be much lighter on look up than sticking it in a field in the transactions tables (I think the plan you outline is avoiding the field method). > The three options I wanted to add to MoneyWell were to reference, > move, or copy receipts.

The only thing that I think might be a bad idea in the plan you outline is "hiding" the files in the Application Support folder. I don't think normal folks would be looking to associate disk usage with a specific Moneywell file in a systems area. This could also be a "bad taste" if someone trialed the software, added a lot of images then decided not to use MW. How would they effectively "clean" their disk? This it the primary advantage to the package method as i see it. Not trying to complain, just thinking out loud. I will probably not use an image capture system. Too much work for my current needs (the accountant manages all the business stuff).
