Hi, I'm in the process of switching from Windows to Linux Mint (19.1), and that means also switching from Quicken to KMyMoney. I set everything up and got all my accounts transferred, no problem, but when I tried to open the file today, I couldn't find it anywhere. I'm not sure what I did, but I must have deleted it somehow. I've tried Foremost, Scalpel, TestDisk, but I'm really just stumbling around trying to figure things out. Can anyone tell me the information (header, etc) I would add to the scalpel file to tell it to search for kmy file? Thanks in advance for any help!

Ouch. Make sure to turn on the backup rotation that is provided by KMyMoney in the future (see Autosave when file is modified upon close in the manual), so that you have at least the last n versions of your file should you ever delete it again.

Now to your question: KMyMoney supports different file formats. If you have not done anything special, your file is most likely written as compressed XML. The compression is done in the gzip format, so that is what you might look for in your (default) scalpel.conf file and use it. A description of the formats is contained in the manual.

For your reference, I ran

find . -name \*.kmy | xargs -n 1 ./dumpkmy

with dumpkmy being the following script

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

file $1 | cut -d: -f2-
od -t x1 $1 | head -n2
echo

over all my KMyMoney data files on my disk (many snippets and testfiles). Most of them are gzip formatted. Here's the result. Hope that is somewhat helpful in your journey.

Code: Select all

thb@thb-nb:~$ find . -name \*.kmy | xargs -n 1 ./dumpkmy

Ouch, indeed!

Thanks for the info--I tried to use scalpel, but all I got was several hundred files named with sequential numbers, and couldn't get any of them to open. I've now spent far more time trying to recover the file than it would have taken me to just import from Quicken again. I actually had the autosave feature turned on, so I have no idea how I lost the file. I'll be much more careful from now on.

Thanks again!

There are two options: the autosave and the number of backup copies. The latter is what you want to keep an eye on.
