I thought I'd replied to this request but it seems I didn't, so 
apologies for that.

Do you see this as an on-going requirement, or just an initial setting 
up need?  Where would the input file originate?  The reason I ask is 
that initially I wrote the plugin to import from banks, which would have 
no knowledge of KMM categories, so didn't foresee such a need.

If you still see such a requirement, it would be as well to create a 
wish-list item on https://bugs.kde.org, so that it's not forgotten. At 
the foot of the bug report, change the severity to Wishlist.
