[Kmymoney] QIF file import issue

[Peter Veltman]

Hello Thomas,

Thanks for your reply. I've been trying your suggestion
to switch to 4.6.1, but without luck.

The files I try to import are attached in the email.
I receive from my bank the file mut.txt which is a csv
file. I've created a short version in order to demonstrate
my issue.
This mut.txt file can be converted to a csv file with header
information and this can be converted to qif using a python
script from the internet. So the attached files:
- mut_short.txt
- 2011_short.csv
- 2011_short.qif

After importing I get the result that is shown in 
KMyMoney_1.0.4.jpg. This shows that the column details
sometimes gives a value, but most of the times not.

This result I've found for the following configurations:
Ubuntu 10.04, KMyMoney 1.0.4, QIF import
Ubuntu 10.0.4, KMyMoney 4.5.2, QIF import
Ubuntu 11.10, KMyMoney 4.6.1, CSV import of mut.txt

As I had a lot of issues to get Ubuntu 11.10 working,
I've returned to Ubuntu 10.04 with KMyMoney 1.0.4 or 4.5.2 if 
dutch language support is available. It would be really nice 
if the qif import works.


Kind Regards,

Peter Veltman
