StockMarketEye for iPhone in iTunes

We will be releasing a new version of our desktop software in the next couple of weeks that will be able to synchronize with the iPhone app. You’ll then be able to have the same watchlists and portfolios on the desktop and on your iPhone. Stay tuned!

Thanks to our beta testers and others who gave us feedback!

One of the big features of StockMarketEye for iOS is its ability to synchronize with the desktop version. So you’ll be able to take your watchlists and portfolios with you where ever you go and easily keep them in sync.

We’re still putting the finishing touches on the app, but if anyone is interested in being a beta tester, we’d love to get your feedback on it. Send an email to our support address and we’ll get you setup.

This release is primarily a bug fix release, with a couple of minor new additions.

The new features include a “Fit column widths to contents” option when you right-click (ctrl-click on Mac) on the headers of a table. This will resize all of the columns to their preferred size, similar to double-clicking on the column header separator on Windows, but for all columns.

Also updated is the hover window for a stock (hover your mouse over the Symbol column). This small hover window now includes the current alert settings for this symbol.

The following is a complete list of changes in this version of StockMarketEye.

What’s New In StockMarketEye v2.8.4

New Features

• Added alert settings to the stock’s hover window.
• Auto-resize column widths from a table’s context menu called “Fit column widths to contents” (right-click [or ctrl-click on Mac] on the column headers).

Changes

• Default backup file names end with YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS

Bug Fixes

• Fixed: Problem loading Yahoo Finance quotes if the lastTradeDate value was empty.
• Fixed: Chart cursor problems when using StockMarketEye in full screen on high definition monitors (like the iMac 27″).
• Fixed: When adding an alert to a watchlist, the alert icon would not show immediately after closing the alert configuration window.
• Fixed: Growl notifications for alerts on windows.

There is no charge for this upgrade so we highly recommend that all users (trial and licensed) upgrade to the newest version. If you have any problems with the update, please contact our support team.

Et voila!

The new look is cleaner, more professional and supports a wider range of browsers. It will also be easier for us to update in the future.

Hopefully you like it as much as we do. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any comments on the new site or find any problems with it.

This release includes another workaround for the new problems with Yahoo! Finance’s data feed. If we detect a problem with the data returned from Yahoo! Finance, we ignore the data and display the last known quote.

Other changes in this release include a new menu: View -> Switch To… which allows you to change to a watchlist or portfolio without using the folders view. This means you can hide the folders view completely (menu: View -> Show Folders) and gain more space for viewing the charts, watchlists and portfolios.

The following is a complete list of changes in this version of StockMarketEye.

What’s New In StockMarketEye v2.8.3

New Features

• New “Switch to ->” menu in the “View” menu. This allows you to change to a different Portfolio or Watchlist without using the folders view (left-hand side of the window). So you can hide the folders view (using menu: View -> Show Folders”) and still access all of your Portfolios and Watchlists with more screen real estate to work with.

Changes

• Better, more complete and less intrusive error handling.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed: QIF missing type for transfer.
• Fixed: Problem when syncing portfolio.
• Fixed: From transactions view, opening the Dividend Declaration window now automatically sets the symbol field.
• Fixed: Problem when enabling/disabling password protection on Mac OS X Lion.
• Fixed: Errors moving watchlist items via Drag-and-drop.
• Fixed: Errors moving portfolio items via Drag-and-drop.
• Fixed: Errors deleting portfolio items and transactions.

There is no charge for this upgrade so we highly recommend that all users (trial and licensed) upgrade to the newest version. If you have any problems with the update, please contact our support team.

As many of our users will be updating to Lion in the near future and as all newly purchased Mac computers will come with Lion pre-installed, we’ve put together a few tips on using StockMarketEye on Mac OS X Lion.

Features

All of the current features of StockMarketEye are available under Mac OS X Lion.

We do not currently support some of the new Mac OS X Lion features, such as full screen mode, in StockMarketEye. However, we are planning on adding such features in the future, as time permits.

Java Installation

Mac OS X Lion does not come with Java pre-installed, as was the case in all previous versions of Mac OS X.

It will, however, be installed the first time you run StockMarketEye on Mac OS X Lion. Here’s how the installation works.

1. Start StockMarketEye as you normally would (double-click the App in the Applications folder or click on its icon in the Dock).
2. You will then be presented with the following window. Click on the “Install” button to continue.
   
3. Mac OS X will search for the approriate Java version.
   
4. Once found, Mac OS X will download the Java version to your computer.
   
5. It will then install Java.
   
6. After Java has been installed, click on the “OK” button and StockMarketEye will start automatically. If for some reason, StockMarketEye does not start automatically, you can start it yourself as you did in step #1 above.
   

If you have any questions or problems on getting StockMarketEye to run on Mac OS X Lion, don’t hesitate to contact our support team.
