KMyMoney Digest, Vol 149, Issue 6

[Michael Calder]

G'day Thomas,

Thank you for your help - I have found the problem.

You said: You should use 5.1.2 if supported by your package manager.
Unfortunately this was not available.

After much stuffing around I removed the previous versions and Installed
kmymoney-5.1-484-linux-gcc-x86_64.AppImage
This shows as KMyMoney Version 5.1.3-0a2dcd1d5

When I viewed Settings -> Configure KMyMoney I found two entries for "yahoo", Yahoo and Yahoo Finance.

Both with the same Details EXCEPT Yahoo (my old one) had a space at the front of the URL.

I edited out the space and "Eureka!" all stocks d/l without trouble.
How the space got there on about 04 May I have no idea.

Assuming that Yahoo Finance is the correct URL I intend to delete "Yahoo".

Thanks again for all your comments which led me to the solution.

Cheers,

Mike.

Michael Calder
