[No Thirst Software] Re: Scans of Receipts

[Blair Watkinson]

Great point.  I was wondering what would happen if I changed my folder structure, and I'm not sure I want to find out.  I have seen some software that allow you to select whether or not the external files would be included in the actual database or if only the link to the file would be stored.  iTunes, as well as programs created by FileMaker and Access, are examples.  Is it possible for this choice to be left to the user? The folder which stores all my receipts is currently 74 MB.  This includes most of my receipts from last year.  Although, it's relatively large, (10 times the size of my MW document), it's not very big when you consider today's file sizes and storage spaces.  How would a file size this large affect MW handling and performance?

(case in point - our raid failed -- we decided to upgrade to a nas -- that has an issue (firmware) with mac's - so we have had to recreate the raid - on a new system - hence all the paths have changed...2x) i realize the average user doesnt have raids or nas -- or server storage.. but even the average user may upgrade their mac and have occasion where the folder names are different. jhmo ciara On Dec 21 2008, 6:07 pm, Kevin Hoctor <ke...@nothirst.com> wrote: On Dec 21, 2008, at 3:22 PM, foznot wrote: Does MW save a copy of thereceiptimages and attachments with the MW file? Actually, to save space, MoneyWell simply stores a link to your existing document. If you delete the document in the Finder, MoneyWell won't have areceiptto view anymore.
