            Bug ID: 365133
           Summary: Consistency check failure: currency of a category has
                    no price set for 1900-01-01
           Product: kmymoney4
           Version: 4.8.0
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: brendon at quantumfurball.net

Until a few years ago I was using Australian dollars as my only currency, but
then I moved overseas. I changed my base currency to suit, though all the
categories seem to continue to have a currency of AUD, and there's apparently
no way to change that. (I've gotten used to the currency conversion dialog
nagging me every time I enter a transaction, but I still question the sense of
categories having currencies associated with them at all.)

After recently updating to 4.8, while saving my budget today a consistency
check window came up, stating that "The account 'Food out' in currency
'Australian Dollar' has no price set for the opening date '1900-01-01'." ("Food
out" is one of categories.)

I had no idea categories have opening dates. I can't seem to find this opening
date shown anywhere in the UI (it's not in the "Edit category..." dialog), let
alone correct it to something more sensible. I don't understand why KMyMoney's
consistency check should even want this, nor why it's complaining about "Food
out" specifically as opposed to any other categories.

I guess (haven't yet tried) a workaround is to enter some value for AUD at
1900-01-01. (Although, technically, the Australian dollar didn't even exist
back then...)

Reproducible: Always
