Can you point me to any documentation or log of how the behavior is changed in 4.8.0?  I will check the ChangeLog file, but is the behavior change documented anywhere else?

I do have the 4.8.0 install file downloaded, so perhaps I will switch to that version before I start again.

Yes, I found the directory where the default US account *.kmt files are stored on my system:

C:\Program Files (x86)\KMyMoney\share\apps\kmymoney\templates\en_US

So if I decide to do so I can copy a custom *.kmt file into that directory and have it available for my accounts.

Peter

P.S. - Happy Holiday wishes to all.  May your days be merry, bright and safe.

P.P.S. - I just noticed I misspelled "Expense" as "Excpence" in the subject line.  Apologies for the typo.
