  • Fixed bug where a bad symbol could sometimes prevent a collection from completing.

  • Fixed problem where user entered time separator charactor was not being used for international settings.
  • Fixed problem where user entered changes for MetaStock portfolio item descriptions (i.e., company names) were sometimes over-written with descriptions from the data feed.
  • Fixed problem where collection count was sometimes not displayed correctly.
  • Documentation updates.
April 10, 2007 - Version 1.0.1 Build 37
  • Fixed bug where an error message could appear when adding a new time/sales item to a portfolio where the start date for the data request was in a narrow range, and QCollector was not connected to IQFeed.
  • When adding a new symbol (item) to a portfolio the start date entered is no longer checked against the historical data available limits, thus avoiding the warning messages which would appear if the date entered was out of range. When the data is downloaded the actual first record date will be updated and displayed in the item properties.
