Personal finance manager Moneydance® includes a feature to import transaction files, such as from Quicken™. Using third-party background applications to download transaction files on a regular basis I felt that Moneydance® lacks an overview of which files still have to be imported, which, in turn, forces the user to constantly check on the file system.
As a result, this extension monitors a given directory and displays all of its transaction files in a sortable list inside the homepage view along with two corresponding buttons to import and to remove each transaction file.
-
Download the latest signed version of Import List from the official extensions repository.
-
Add the downloaded extension file to Moneydance® and you will be asked to choose a base directory to monitor. If you want to change the base directory later, you can select Import List from the Extensions menu.
-
In order to display Import List in Moneydance®'s homepage view, open the Preferences window and click on the Home Page tab. The available items should contain an entry called Import List. Add it to the left or right column of your homepage view.
