Thanks, I will do that. I am aware of the workarounds, but it just seems like something this ought to do by itself.

Only reason I didn't submit this to begin with is I thought somebody on the list might tell me that it's technically impossible for some reason or something. It would seem to me that even if it were OFX directly interacting, Kmymoney probably drew the box or could display a notice in the status bar or something while the transfer was running the OFX transfer.

So, one workaround would be to update each account separately.  Another workaround would be to invoke KMM from the command line, in which case (I think, but have not checked) that you could find the account in the console output.
