I believe by saying that they supported OFX file download, he was also  
implying that they did not support direct connect, which was also made  
clear in the link.

I wonder if there is just a language problem.  When you say "the menu  
topics are not available" I understand that those selections are not  
present in the menu at all.  Is that what you mean, or just that they  
do not work as you expect?  (You might post once in your language.  We  
can use Google Translate, and there are also some native German  
speakers on the list.)

You keep saying menu topics are not present, but you also said that  
File/Import/OFX is present, and presents many options.  Is there any  
reason you do not try that method?  As far as I can tell, that is your  
best option.

Since Bank of Scotland does not support direct connect, it doesn't  
really matter, but is "Map account..." not present on the Account menu  
list, or present but disabled?  If that is the case, you need to take  
it up with openSUSE.  If the menu item is present, and you start the  
wizard, you will find that Bank of Scotland is not on the list.
