Balances in Calendar
Ryan
One of my favourite features in Quicken 2007 is the ability to see future account balances in the Calendar view. Is something similar possible in MD, perhaps in an extension? I'd love to switch, but if I can't get this feature, I'll have to choose between looking for something else that does this, or sticking with Quicken (and I'm really sick of being reminded to upgrade).

OK- now I have a new note: I think my particular search phrase must have deposited me here on page 2 of this discussion. I just happened across the Top post on Page 1 that gives a link to a MoneyDance Extension that offers the very Forecaster graph that we're discussing. Is this correct?
The .mxt MD extension file produces an error upload loading for its identity not being authenticated. Also, it is labeled as produced by "Kevin Stembridge" who has commented earlier in this thread, but not since apparently developing this mxt.
The most confusing part is that the post with the link for download is date 2010, but Scott Meehan (MD Support) post just above is dated Oct 2012. Will this 'unapproved' extension send my account details to some unknown party without my knowledge, or is it legitimate?

My apologies for my having scanned only the newest 20 posts and for not having read this thread from the beginning. The last of the thread speaks only of the missing feature, and not that there is a SOLUTION that makes the feature available right now.
For everyone arriving here at the end of the thread, as I did, here is the important info:
Download the MD extension here: http://code.google.com/p/moneydance-forecaster/
And apparently it is the legitimate creation from Kevin Stembridge -- and he has continued to update his Forecaster code I see... it's looking pretty good, offers a lot of functionality, and has saved me from reverting to Quicken's measly Mac version.
(I wish there was a 'Donate' option for Kevin's work -- in my mind he deserves a chunk of the cash I will soon be sending to MoneyDance to license my trial copy -- I couldn't have chosen this software to rely on for my money management without the Forecaster feature!)

Hi Rixtur,
Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad the extension is useful to you.
Yes, it is my legitimate offspring but I've never actually submitted it to Moneydance to have them review and digitally sign it. Hence the warning on installation. I've just been lazy about getting it reviewed but I've had a few people wonder about its legitimacy so I think I'll get that process under way.
Cheers,
Kevin

Kevin,
I too use the Forecaster extension, so I definitely encourage you to go through the review process. If you need any help with it drop me a line at Angie (at) infinitekind (dot) com, and thanks for this great tool.

I'm just wrapping up a new feature and moving the source code to bitbucket. I'll drop you a line when its ready to go.
Thanks,
Kevin
