Just enter "10%" where you'd normally enter "$50" for example. dsBudget will automatically recognize that you are entering percentage instead of a fix amount.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484174015994780168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671093454086710835.post-58728638116729788242012-04-19T11:14:37.592-07:002012-04-19T11:14:37.592-07:00I was hoping to use the percentage feature, as I t...I was hoping to use the percentage feature, as I tithe to our church and I always deduct the amounts from each pay cheque (it isn't hard math just 10% but I liked the idea of using the percentage button). However, when I click the deductions there is no option for percentage. I uninstalled and the older version and reinstalled the 2.0.22 but it's not there. The new search and export option is there. Could this be a browser issue? I find sometimes certain browsers don't offer features that others do.Charley Geehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902915633390993968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671093454086710835.post-53487150185543557322012-03-30T12:01:05.778-07:002012-03-30T12:01:05.778-07:00Hi.

I use dsBudget every month. Thank you for making it available. I wanted to suggest that you list it on cnet.com. Right now the SimpleD 1.05 is on there as the latest version, and of course we know you've made many upgrades since then!Charley Geehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902915633390993968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671093454086710835.post-29014788777381908082011-09-01T09:38:07.122-07:002011-09-01T09:38:07.122-07:00Unfortunately, Google Groups doesn't accept Op...Unfortunately, Google Groups doesn't accept OpenID, and I don't want a Google account, so it's not possible for me to join the forum discussions.<br /><br />To answer your question: making one "misc" category would work similarly, but that would also mean putting all such expenses into one group, instead of being able to track them separately. If, for (a made up) example, I collect T keyboard keys and phone covers, I would want to know how much I spent on "collection items" of those flexible funds, separately from "eating out".<br /><br />I like my flexible system, but I understand how some people won't. I "stick to" total expenditures per month, and deciding ahead of time on the amounts for certain categories doesn't make as much sense to me.<br /><br />In any case, I'm certainly not making any demands, just friendly suggestions to make a great program even better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671093454086710835.post-57195329363161335212011-08-30T05:28:51.882-07:002011-08-30T05:28:51.882-07:00Hi.

I often adjust my budget for a particular category (to decrease it, not to increase it) at the end of the month when I over-budgeted for the month.<br /><br />However, for the specific usecase that you are describing, can you simply create a category that says "misc" and put all unallocated amount there? Also, the point of budgeting is to decide how much money you will spend on each category at the beginning of the month, and to stick to it. So you could simply allocate a bit more than you think you would spend if you are having to keep adjusting your category throughout the month.<br /><br />Please feel free to comment on this feature further at our forum > https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/dsbudgetAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484174015994780168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671093454086710835.post-67232109072343471672011-08-29T21:38:14.047-07:002011-08-29T21:38:14.047-07:00Thank you for your continued work.

They way I use dsbudget is that I have a certain unallocated amount that can be used for any category out of a few. Whenever there's a new expense in such a category, I increase its allocation by the amount of the expense so that essentially such categories look like they have 0 remaining, but I know that I can use any of the unallocated amounts for any of them. Right now I do this manually, but it would be convenient to have such a button.<br /><br />I hope that was clear enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671093454086710835.post-73177796140266059252011-08-18T18:44:00.786-07:002011-08-18T18:44:00.786-07:00Looks great.
