Yes it does help ! I was afraid about what would happen deleting one of the
payees.

Many thanks !

BTW I still don't get one point about payees : when I transfer money from
one account to another (eg : "check" to "savings") I can mention an
operation name (eg : "april savings from old stuff sold ").

Now once imported in KMM, this operation name becomes a payee... Which can
lead to lots of payees in the end !

What would be the correct way to use this ? Alway mention the same
operation name for the same kind of transfer to get one payee per operation
type (eg : "from check to savings") ?

This solution seems strange to me since KMM offers the oportunity not to
declare a payee as destination when this is an internal transaction... But
I still get a payee named as the operation name.

Regards,

Hugo
