I'll have to do some digging, but the first step would be to assure the 
file can be read.  If it is on a local drive and you can look at it in a 
text editor, then that's OK.  The next step would be to assure that the 
guncash importer is present and enabled.  Go to Setting/Configure 
KMyMoney... select Plugins on the left side, and see if GNC Importer is 
present on the right.  If it's there, then we do have an interesting 
problem.  If it is NOT present, then we need to figure out why not.  I 
just confirmed it IS present in the Appimage versions, but I don't know 
about the macOS version.
