I was thinking that automatic quotes were still working for Azigma, and the intention was to avoid wasting bandwidth or file space for unneeded quotes. Your interpretation, that Azigma is referring to the Portfolio->UpdatePrices->UpdatePricesManually
list makes more sense.
I have used a 'zz' prefix to send things to the bottom of an alphabetized list.
For those UK users who are making extensive use of Portfolio->UpdatePrices->UpdatePricesManually,
hleOfxQuotes would seem to be a good thing to check out. I have not tried it, because my broker provide OFX servers which also include quotes. I really like PocketSense. It can get quotes from Yahoo servers, but for me, the ability
to get statements and prices from OFX servers is the really nice thing. PocketSense is written in Python, which I can read.
hleOfxQuotes is written in Java. It can use FT quotes too, so it seems to be a good fit for UK users. I have not tried it.
