 Sad It's been 9 months and I still have no way of getting my wallet balance out. I started a thread last August but still no help! See below:-

The new release looks much better but I still can't find out how much the total fees are to send coins.
My wallet has 0.52390169 BTC and I tried to spend it and got the message "Total exceeds your balance when the .01  BTC tranasaction fee is included" Fair enough so I reduced the spend to 0.51390169 and the get the message "Total exceeds your balance when the .23 BTC tranasaction fee is included"
This doesn't seem right or fair.
How do I calculate what the TOTAL fees are going to be?


There really isn't any way to tell.  The system doesn't know what fees will be needed until it makes an attempt at the knapsack problem of selecting the transactions to redeem.

And yeah, there should maybe be a special case for emptying a wallet, but there isn't.

If you're running bitcoin-qt you can go to help -> debug -> console and enter "settxfee <amount>" without quotes. This will set a fixed fee that you're willing to pay for your transactions. If for some reason that doesn't work you can import your wallet to blockchain.info where you can send each tx accompanied by a fee of your choosing.
