[amibroker] Re: Problem copying data from the Quote Editor Window with 5.29 Beta

["ramoncummins" <ramoncummins@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for this alternative solution Tomasz. However, I maintain my position that this is not as user friendly as simply cutting and pasting the data from the quote editor. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to help me with this - much appreciated.

Regards

Ramon

In my view, removing the simplicity of being able to easily export the historical data from the quote editor is not an improvement for EOD users like myself - indeed this is my only use for this quote window, as I suspect it is for many others. Is there any chance of making this an option in preferences, or even in the quote editor? Or is there a way of assigning this action to another button somehow?

I use this all the time to dump price data from the equity symbol into excel and it is VERY annoying that this has changed. I know there are solutions for exporting this data using AFL - this is not what I am after :)
