That sounds like a MacOS specific bug. I expect that the Finder does not call KMyMoney with appA.kmy as argument. In that case (no arguments) KMyMoney opens the last opened file.

Press Ctrl+F (key combination might be different on MacOS) to gain access to it when the ledger has focus. That should bring it up. The same applies to other views as well (not all of them yet).

That might still need to be ported to the new code base. I will look into it.

Preferred checkbox can be turned off to remove an accout from Fovorites and the Ledger Tabs, but cannot be turned on in the Account Edit window. One can check the box and Apply but the the status doesn't change

The ledger code has been completely overhauled and improved so that multiple accounts can be opened side by side in tabs. The opened account tabs and their order are stored when the program exits. When KMyMoney opens the file again, it reloads those tabs in the ledger view and maintains the order. In case no tabs are opened during opening of the file, the ledgers of the accounts marked as preferred (favorite accounts) are opened instead.

In 5.1.3 the preferred flag was only used to show those accounts in the special Favorite group. Multiple tabs in the ledger view is a new feature in master.

I just noticed, that one can turn off the Preferred flag but cannot turn it on again. I will look into that.

Oh yes, it certainly is. Hope my answers do as well. Thanks for your support also on identifying the issue reported on https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=473223

BTW: 5.1.80 is our version synonym for 'git master' which can change often.
