Thanks for the help. I know that my OFX downloads failed 2 weeks ago when i gave up and switched to the Fedora version for the first time in many years.
I modified my script to get the 4.8 branch. Here is the new git clone command for anyone else wondering how to get the source. git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kmymoney --branch 4.8 This way I can get the bug fixes easily. I will wait for a while until KF5 settles down. I'm going to take your advice and map the old account to the new Citibank Visa card. *----Brendan* On Sun, Jul 17, 2016 at 7:11 PM, Jack <ostrof...@users.sourceforge.net> wrote: > [please don't top post] > > On 2016.07.17 19:13, Brendan Coupe wrote: > >> Is the OFX import relatively new to KF5?
