Re: When Interactive Brokers hangs, MC leak slowly eats up all memory
Correct, that was all.To reproduce the issue you just leave your workspaces working, and when the error appears in IB TWS, you face the memory leakage in MultiCharts, correct? If you perform other steps please let us know.

Allow workspace to be marked read-only
It would be very handy to be able to mark a workspace as read-only to guard against accidental movements or actions.
When modifying, you just turn it off, modify it, then turn it back on, and save.
Countless times I accidentally drag a line and mess up scaling which is tedious to go back and fix.

For example, if you have: Input: Length(10); Var: Flag(1); Once (Curren...

The alt key modifier is used to permit the keyboard to select commands.
Pressing alt-F will post the File menu in MC. Unfortunately, the Format menu also appears to use F (i.e. alt-F) as the accelerator which effectively means it can't be selected that way. Perhaps it should use alt-O or some such.

When you use ASCII Mapping to add far back history, such as tick data, it is important for the realtime source to fill in from the end of the ASCII data.
As it is, there is a gap from the point that you start running MC.

[Advanced Topic] Getting started with DLL
What is the best and supported way to create DLL? The MC help points to: https://www.TS.com/support/books/pdf/easylanguage_extension_sdk.pdf for documentation on how to build extensions. This documentation talks about tskit.dll as the way to build DLLs but only elkit.dll is located in the MC program...

I notice with two cores and the current beta (2.1.928.1050) that computation seems to depend on MCActivex.exe. With two MC instances with about 3 workspaces each, I find that only 50% of the CPU gets used (one core) and all the time is spent in MCActiveX.exe. Any way to break that up so that MCActiv...

Yes, the extra toolbars seem somehow linked to the particular chart being observed. I notice that the "Reset Price Scale" button will be enabled for only one of the toolbars associated with a window. As you change windows, the button is enabled or not depending on that window scaling. By the way, wh...

Offline use with TS
I was preparing to be offline (no Internet access) for a week and wanted to have the ability to look at some studies in MC.
Unfortunately, when I choose "offline data mode" in preferences and restart, it just says "No data".
Is there a trick out there that can make this work?

Add "select all drawing objects"
Add the ability to select all drawing objects so they can be deleted.
Sometimes, they are so far back in the display, there is no way to scroll to them!
Thanks.

How about allowing QuoteManager to let you clear the cache for more than one symbol at a time? At the moment, if you select a range of symbols, the "clear cache" selection is disabled. In addition, when you are trying to debug data gaps and inconsistencies, it is useful to have a "clear cache for al...

I recommend you not to downgrade and wait a few days for the new beta which is expected to be even more stable than the official release. Waiting a few days can be very expensive...

Scripting control API
It would be very nice to control MultiCharts from some simple API (perhaps using Python like Google?). The ability to create a chart, change symbol settings, download some data, save it or export it etc. would make MC a very powerful and unique cross vendor tool. Even if this just gave access to the...

Scripting API for MC?
Is there any kind of scripting interface for MultiCharts?
i.e. could I programmatically create a chart and set the symbol settings?
A Python binding would be really dynamite.
Thanks.
