OFX Import Bug

[Brendan Coupe]

Jack,

Your suggestion is fine for testing but a non-starter for day to day use of
KMM. I can live with bogus warnings about my account balance not matching
the download balance.

I downloaded both the OFX and QFX files from both banks. I diff'ed them and
they are pretty similar (OFX vs QFX).

The formats are completely different from the files that are saved in the
/home/thb folder which have the extension "txt" so they may not be copies
of the downloaded OFX files.

Is there an easy way to find the OFX files downloaded when they are
downloaded from KMM?

There is possible good news and bad news. The bank that shows 1969-12-31
has the correct date in the manually downloaded OFX & QFX files.

<DTSTART>20161013000000
<DTEND>20170110000000


The bank that appears to use the date prior to the last transaction date
(based on 2 recent downloads) shows an end date in 2014.

<DTSTART>20170109
<DTEND>20141212210000

Very strange.

I have tried several options for "Identify as" and "Header Version" and the
txt file that appears in the /home/thb folder is the same.
