1) The charts are cool. Can I view them in fiat currency, too? Maybe this is useful for people who 'invest' in bitcoins.
BTW, one can accomplish the same thing and more once MultiBit is able to export all transaction data together with date/time and exchange rate from the time of the transaction into a CSV file.
You might need to add the exchange rate to every transaction in the wallet file for such a feature, though.
2) I really like the ability to drag and drop QR codes from and to files.

To make it easier to see your BTC going in and out of your wallets, I have added a "View | Charts" menu option.
Currently the only one is "Balance over last 30 days". See screenshot:
This uses a third party library called XChart, written by Tim Molter.
Also, you can now drag and drop the MultiBit QR codes to and from your desktop/ file browser, which is quite handy. Screenshot:
(edited) The file name for the PNG file is "[label of address] - [amount] - [bitcoin address]" so that you can identify the QR codes. It works ok in Mac, Win and Linux as long as you have the permissions to write to the target location.
These will go into the next test code which should be later this week and then the next live which will probably be next week.
(The chart is not perfect yet as the dates aren't localised but I wanted to get it out as I mentioned it in my conference talk).

Hi Roland,
Yes it was good fun the whole conference and great to meet you.
If you have points, add them in here certainly.
If you number the points/ queries that will make it easier for me to answer them one-by-one and other people can add their comments.

Good plan to take your 3G modem to any conference by the sounds of it.
Anecdote: I checked the venue WiFi was OK as soon as I got into London - Friday night.
Then when I fired everything up 40 minutes before my talk start time the WiFi was non-existent. OMG. Fortunately I had my 3G modem with me and even inside the conference centre the network connection was good enough.
This is expected behaviour for low to mid budget conference wifi. The number of devices just overwhelms it.
Glad it worked out with the 3G connection. That's also what I was using for internet access during the conference.
Here is the presentation that I did this morning at the London Conference:
"MultiBit - The Summer of 2012"
Open Office format: http://multibit.org/postImages/MultiBit%20talk.odp (1.9 MB)
Powerpoint format: http://multibit.org/postImages/MultiBit%20talk.ppt (2.0 MB)
The notes on each slide I more or less stuck to - including the outline of the demo on the "Demo" slide.

Hi DanielVG,
Not at the moment no, but it us quite high up on my list of things to do.
I am thinking of putting a button on the transactions tab to export all the transaction details to a CSV file.

Hi jim,
Is there any way i could export my transactions as text into an excell file or simular?

Yeah - might start doing that !

Haha. It might be worth running translations you get via Google Translate in future to spot obviously bogus stuff. It correctly translates
pičovina s výmenným kurzom -> bullshit with exchange rates
pičovina s výmenným kurzom -> bullshit with exchange rates
thanks - I have added it into translate.multibit.org
It will have to wait until next week before I reissue the code as I don't have time this week.

correct translation of the words " Show Currency Ticker" is "Zobraziť kurzový lístok" and "Hide Currency Ticker" is "Skryť kurzový lístok"
Thanks for highlighting that tpantlik.
Of course I have to trust that the translations people provide are faithful to the original and in neutral language.
The intention of MultiBit is to make it as easy as possible to use bitcoin so any translation needs to be in as standard vocabulary as possible. Lots of languages are used in several countries (e.g Spanish, Portuguese) and I know the translators go to great efforts to choose words that work in all countries.
If it is not fixed by the time of the next release I will have to remove Slovak as a language.
edit: I have changed the Slovak Currency Ticker text back to the English at translate.multibit.org for now.

Hello!
I just downloaded and installed 0.4.10 to check translations and I have done some minor changes. But then I switch Multibit to Slovak language to compare and was shocked by this gem:
Maybe the slovak translator hates a lot Currency ticker to name it vulgarly - "pičovina s výmenným kurzom".

Hi World,
No problem.
I had a look at appbodega.com.
The thing is, every extra channel for sales means more uploading and work for me which is less programming time. A simple download link on multibit.org works pretty well and is minimal work. I do not need any billing or anything as it is all free.
Most of my referrals either come direct from google or the bitcoin.org clients page. They land on the index.html and the download links are right there.
My pageview stats are about a minute which means visitors read the index page, decide if they want it, download and they are done.
I will probably put MultiBit in the Mac App store mainly as I have to get it signed anyway for Mountain Lion's GateKeeper.
Of course if it was commercial software I would get my sales and marketing team working on appbodega.com uploads straight away !
:-)

hi Jimi,
Thank you for your quick answer ⬆
You can add MultiBit for downloading also here:

There is no Bitcoin-related software or services.

Hello World,
The encrypted wallets are in the 0.5.x code only. This is still in beta and hence not on the multibit.org website.
There are installers you can download directly from:
https://github.com/jim618/multibit/downloads
It is not quite ready for general release yet. If you have a read through the readme.txt and make sure your wallets are backed up by exporting your private keys you should be fine. I have been using it with my real wallets for the last couple of weeks but at the moment I am advising people to use it just with small amounts (just as a precaution).
The help has been redone for almost every page so that should explain the new functionality. You can see the help in MultiBit using 'Help | Help Contents' or go here:
http://multibit.org/v0.5/help_contents.html
If you have any questions or spot ANYTHING unusual let me know.
Jim
