- bug: quotemanager reports "not supported" in column collect R/T
this can be solved, if you go to MC and switch to data server online.

Please stop to call bugs any things that look unclear for you. Let me comment your questions.

How does it look? You haven’t illustrated.

- portfolio backtest settings asks for saving even if nothing has changed.

Program doesn’t check if you changed it and ask anyway. It is not a bug, but simplified implementation.

- bug: portfolio backtest can't be run as option is disabled.

It is not a bug. You must add at least 1 signal to run it.

- bug: portfolio can't be saved as portfolio backtester reports something
like: "can't save pf as another process has locked..."

Do you have Excel installed?

- bug: quotemanager reports "not supported" in column collect R/T

It is not a bug. You must work online. Go to MultiCharts-File-Preferences->Online.

I will try to be more careful here. on the other hand, i see some of
my issues going to be lost in space. this is the reason i got a bit louder.

- very simple: on start qm, you find collect R/T again switched off.

there was of course a signal attached. i solved it by restart of system.
killing all MC related processes didn't help.

ever heard of the story "Fire"?

I can report a similar issue with Beta 3 with real-time data. I am merging historical data from Esignal with real-time data from IB on a single chart. If I make any changes to chart time (i.e. 1 day chart to 5 min chart, etc) or sometimes other chart settings, I will lose real-time collection from IB and the chart settings revert back to Esignal for both. Sometimes it seems to happen simply on exit and re-start.

This happens in multiple symbols in multiple workspaces.

The bug has been confirmed. Thank you.
