            Bug ID: 395047
           Summary: Exported csv file from categories does not follow RFC
                    4180 standard
           Product: kmymoney
           Version: 4.7.0
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: exporter
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: ralf.habacker at freenet.de
  Target Milestone: ---

Created attachment 113087

test file

How to reproduce:
1. Open appended kmymoney file
2. Choose file->export->csv
3. Choose output file
4. Choose type "categories"
5. Choose account "girokonto"
6. select ',' as delimiter
7. start export

What happens ?
The exporter generates a csv file with the following content:
interest,I
income,I
income,subincome,I
fees,E
expense,E
expense,subexpense,E

What is expected ?
RFC 4180 standard for csv files (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values#RFC_4180_standard) states:
1. Each record "should" contain the same number of comma-separated fields
2. An optional header record
3. Any field may be quoted (with double quotes).
4. Fields containing a line-break, double-quote or commas should be quoted. (If
they are not, the file will likely be impossible to process correctly).

Issue 3. and 4. are covered by bug 395025, issue 2 is a "nice to have feature"
