Here are some things that came to my mind while reading through this review request. Unfortunatly I cannot try the patch because I cannot compile the 4.8 branch.

What happens if the user creates a new account (no opening balances account) and enters a opening balance and there is no opening balances account, yet? Is a opening balance account created (silently)? The user can rename it later then (less user interaction, so this is my preferred behavior).

What if the user creates a opening balances account with a opening balance?


kmymoney/converter/mymoneytemplate.cpp (line 416)

    I think setting a value is not needed. Also someone who only reads the XML file could think setting ```value="0"``` could deactivate the flag. Then it would be ```<flag name="OpeningBalanceAccount" />```.



kmymoney/dialogs/knewaccountdlg.cpp (line 239)

    This could confuse the user. Because he selected his new account to become an opening balances account but this option is silently ignored.
    
    To solve this the checkbox to make an account an opening balances account could be disabled and a notice or label inform the user why.

    ```transactionList.isEmpty()``` is faster



kmymoney/mymoney/mymoneyfile.cpp (line 1104)

    The RegExp could be replaced by ```QString::startsWith()```
    
    http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstring.html#startsWith



kmymoney/mymoney/mymoneyfile.cpp (line 1107)

    I know you did not write but I see it now: The ```if```s could be combinde with ```&&```? Also ```(*it).foobar()``` is ```it->foobar()```.
