I recently started migrating my huge MS Money file to KMyMoney2. About a week ago, as a test I exported and imported couple of accounts with great success. But today when I again exported some more accounts from MS Money and imported in KMM. to my dismay I noticed that KMM didn't populate the categories, whereas it did last time. All my newly imported transactions are missing category data, even though I can see that the QIF files have categories as "L" records ("S" for split records and BTW Categories don't have [] as delimiters, but they are required only for the accounts, correct?) Can you fix this please or let me know what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Running KMM2 on Kubuntu 8.10 using the repository from PPA

I know the QIF import is being seriously reworked. The PPA must have been updated during one of those "ooops" moments, but I am sure it is being taken care of because there is a lot of eyes looking at it at the moment.
Actually, it is the main subject of development right now.

That's very true, and I just imported a MS-Money QIF file with 1700+ transactions and all relevant categories are created. This code is already available via CVS if you're interested.

That would be ideal -- or so I thought. This might be over my head, but when I tried to follow the instructions to building my own KMM2, I ran into following problem and I don't know how to solve it.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install kdelibs4-dev build-essential


Unpacking kdelibs4-dev (from .../kdelibs4-dev_4%3a3.5.10-0ubuntu6_i386.deb) ...

I am using kubuntu 8.10 with kde 4.2rc enabled using ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-experimental

Thanks

Are you using Clay's PPA?
In that case, you can wait until it is updated from CVS. That shouldn't take long.

Somehow I often set up a build just *before* a bunch of changes get committed

It's actually not so bad. You have many users of your package, and I'd rather have some time to polish such big changes before it hits them.

Hi claydoh,

Did you get a chance to update your PPA repositories? I am still getting all my imported transactions as uncategorized. Adept upgraded whole bunch of things today, so I am pretty sure KMM would have been part of it. (BTW how do I check if I have the latest version? ? It says 0.9.2-cvs)

Thanks

You will need to look in your package manager and look for the version, it is based on the date, so the last one I did would be 12142008cvs

It's the correct version alright. But the QIF import is still broken for me. I guess I'll just wait until KMM matures a bit and put up with MS Money a tad longer. I appreciate your and Hie Ku's efforts to help me.

Thanks

We cannot help you unless you can provide us more info on what is wrong with what you are trying to do.

I fixed a bug this morning (in UTC+1) which solves the issue of loosing category/transfer information. It was caused by an uninitialized variable in case you're interested. In case you want to give it another try, please update from CVS.

Thanks guys! I'll definitely try it out as soon as claydoh updates his repository and let you know.

Thanks ipwizard! Your fix seems to have worked! Nice work! Also, thanks to claydoh for making KMM available to everyone via his repositories.

I have finally cured myself of Windows . No more dual-booting for me.

Thanks for not losing your faith on us. And of course to Thomas, Allan and others who are doing a great job with the QIF import.
