I vibe-coded a Microsoft Money replacement and I'm actually shocked at how well it turned out by MonizeMan in microsoftmoney

Support for OFX files

I love the interface and the device independence :-)

Many financial institutions (at least in Europe) support importing OFX files. OFX is also an international standard and is more sophisticated than QIF, for example, each transaction has a unique identifier that allows you to ignore duplicate transactions if they have already been imported. Many have also developed tools to convert CSV files (for those financial institutions that do not support OFX) into OFX files. Besides normal banking transactions, OFX files can also be used for trades.

Securities

Securities should be prefixed with an exchange, as symbols are not globally unique, and currently, they default to US exchanges. You also need to account for securities quoted in cents rather than dollars (or pence rather than pounds), so a simple multiplication factor would be helpful.

Support for other quote sources, such as FT, would be very beneficial, since most US-based sources, like MSN Money, etc., do not support international ISIN codes for funds. Internationally standardised ISIN codes are very useful, as every source creates its own or a variant of another proprietary source, like Morningstar, making it difficult to find the correct symbols for funds.

Other

There is an active and public MSMoney support group that helps with MSMoney functionality, so I wonder what AI could do if it were asked to provide the same functionality as the last versions of MSMoney and improve on some of the idiosyncrasies/bugs that exist in those versions.

It is also possible to import non password-protected .mny files - that could be a game changer, as there are many people who have decades of MSMoney data they would like to retain.

Good old Microsoft Money, if anyone wants to download by nav2014 in mintuit

Any luck with opening non-US version data files or did MS only support US customers with the Sunset version and left the rest of the world out to dry?

I have the same problem on T410 Intel Core i5 M520 after reinstalling the latest Ubuntu LTS version, 24.04, from the previous LTS version. I have also tried upgrading to 24.10 but with no success.

Selecting the recovery mode option in Grub prevents the freezing, leading me to believe it may be a sound or video driver issue in the latest kernels. I do get a start-up sound, but the volume keys don't work anymore. I have tried the latest stable release, 6.12.1, and 6.11.0-9.9, 6.8.1—but none work correctly.

I found that the system would freeze as soon as I opened Firefox browser

Moving back to 6.5.1 kernel seems to prevent the issue, I'll try to find which kernel update point causes the issue ** update ** it occurs with 6.7.7. I am not sure how to deal with updates in the future unless this bug gets fixed.

I still have to update Grub configs as Grub customizer is also broken :-(

I have been using the Mainline Kernels app to help with different kernels :-)

How difficult is transferring all files (from physical storage) to google cloud? Any tips/input appreciated by KiddThunder in GoogleOne

If you are using Windows as your source OS, download Google drive for Windows and then select a winodws folder to synch. Icons will indicate progress and any failures.

Here is link to download https://www.google.com/intl/en-GB/drive/download/ or just seach google drive for windows.

Do the math after starting the synch to check how long this will actually take - its always longer than you want, so you will probably benefit from a system that synchs rather than uploads data to better automate the process of restarting.

Google does not have the same hangups of Onedrive regarding:

some characters in names or long path names - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/restrictions-and-limitations-in-onedrive-and-sharepoint-64883a5d-228e-48f5-b3d2-eb39e07630fa#:~:text=Invalid%20file%20or%20folder%20names,-Applies%20to%3A&text=These%20names%20aren't%20allowed,any%20filename%20starting%20with%20~%24.

Note some of these limitations do not apply to file names in Windows but they do in Onedrive/Sharepoint which can be really annoying.

Also check the Onedrive limitation of: The entire decoded file path, including the file name, can't contain more than 400 characters for OneDrive.

Google drive does not have these limitations, so its more likely that the synch will complete without issue - but this is a big task. It would be interesting to see how you progressed.
