Moving from 5.1.3 to 5.1.80 feedback

[Blimundus]

Good morning everyone

I've been using KMyMoney for about 15 years (!!!) I think, mostly to keep track of transactions on checking accounts, in the very beginning doing a lot of the entry manually, and then mostly using csv imports. Wonderful!

I'm on MacOS, and yesterday, I had another look at the available builds, and I ended up moving from 5.1.3-7ef4c2d to 5.1.80-7f2c37e.

When I first ran the new version, I ran into the problem that is described in this bug report (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=473223), and I only saw about 10% of my transactions. Seeing that the file was not truncated and still worked in the older version of KMyMoney, I did a check with xmllint, and I ended up fixing the file like this:

> *tr -d '\000' < bad.xml > fixed.xml*

It took me a while to figure this out, but I learned a lot about working with these files from the bug report I just linked to... And I'm glad that there was no catastrophic file corruption and that KMyMoney keeps a lot of backup files anyway!

Anyway, after getting over that bump, everything is working great.

It seems like the settings screen is not available, or available but empty, until minutes after the program has launched. I could provide more diagnostics, but since this does not stop me from accessing the settings, and because maybe this problem has been fixed in later versions, I won't...

There's a setting now to 'hide accounts with a zero balance'. Is this setting meant to also apply to the Home view? Because for me, it doesn't, and those zero balance accounts are still shown there... It would be a cleaner look if I could hide those.

And finally, https://kmymoney.org/macos.html describes the current status of KMyMoney on MacOS. I'm definitely not qualified to help out here, and I don't really need any of the 5.2 features, but I was wondering whether there's anywhere where I can read up on whether further mac builds are planned? Or in other words: are we hoping for the right person to come along to make new builds, or is there a technical blocker that means that this may be a dead end?

Best regards

Mike
