Multicharts on Linux

Due to my private change from Win to Linux I'm just wondering if anybody has some experience with MC and Wine with Mono for Framework 4 on Linux. I guess there is no plan to produce something for Linux. Would be too bad to work with one extra computer just for Windows and MC.

In the "Scanner" the total volume is shown as the contracts are set up for price scale ....

If you double-click a symbol in the "Scanner" with- or without making any changes and pressing "OK" again, the symbol changes to the 1st symbol in the symbol-list. I think no one likes this ;o)

@Antimatter

To plot OHLC via ADE_PlotOHLC makes sense if you want to plot OHLC-bars from a higher time frame only. So in your case "Weekly,Quarter,Month or Year"-Data only. Therefore you should insert ADE_SaveOHLC in the chart of the higher time frame first.

Hey TJ,

it's happening in all symbols I have. But I have figured out that it happens only if you change the style of the PlotStyle from "solid"-Line to "dotted"-line. If you change it back to "solid"-Line it works fine.
