just installed it, works and seems nice with the exception Reswob mentioned.

But it does seem sluggish on a 8.04 x32, scrolling through budgets in the budget tab takes about 1 second for each line etc’…

any chance at being a tad faster?

when i go to /usr/bin and open buddy.jar by right clicking and opening with java it is opening.
how can i create a launcher for that in my panel or menu?

I have the same problem described by Jason on 8.04 x32.
I have also tried what Torben was suggesting and received the following

java -Duser.dir=$HOME/.buddi -Xmx512m -jar /usr/bin/Buddi.jar –debian
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: method java.io.PrintStream. with signature (Ljava.io.File;)V was not found.

Hi Jason,

it may be a problem with your Java Env.
Try this:

java -Duser.dir=$HOME/.buddi -Xmx512m -jar /usr/bin/Buddi.jar --debian

without an apparent method to download or import data from my bank accounts, .qfx files for example, this seems like an exercise in constantly entering data and tracking receipts.

I just installed this on my 8.04.1 x64 PC and it doesn’t appear to work. I click on the icon in Applications>Office and it doesn’t do anything.

Any idea what could be wrong?
