Scrooge - 1.1.1

It doesn't try to do a lot, but does what it does do well. Better than I expected actually! I was most impressed that it could handle non-US stocks, eg, NAB.AX showed National Australia Bank on the Australian stock exchange. (However, it did only show limited information for Australian stocks.)

Some aspects could do with a bit of polishing:

* The value figures show up with a UK pound symbol, even the US ones. In the International System Preference, I have set currency to use $. I do, however, have British English as my default language so maybe that is somehow related.

* Changing the window size is pretty clumsy. Making it larger, enlarges all the fields. Making it smaller shrinks all the fields. Superficially this seems ok until you want to make the window smaller temporarily to see something else on the screen. Then all your fields shrink to miniscule size and you cannot read them. I would prefer the fields not to change size when the window size was changed. Instead, it would be good if the fields stayed the same size as I set them to, and a horizontal scroll bar appeared when the window was narrower than all the fields. (This would have the benefit that the window could be shrunk to just the symbol and price for everyday use, but could be opened up to see the full data.)

* It would be handy to have a field for quantity in the dialogue when you are adding a new stock.
