I imagine you'd have to rename them accordingly. Try saving a new
credential using master build (I just merged the code). Then see the
differences. The new credential should be saved under a
"org.kde.kmymoney" name/folder. Renaming should be relatively easy, if
my experience here on macOS with its own native vault is to be of any
value.
Unfortunately, this cannot be automated from the app level, but we
could add a manual page/FAQ on how to do this, possibly with a bash
script (via DBus). Which actually begs the question: should we look
into how to prepare a "What's new in xxx release"? for when we push an
alpha release?
We definitely need to do something to give users a heads-up. I would be
very surprised, and not very happy, if without any warning, an upgrade
seemed to lose all my passwords. I don't know how typical I am, but I
have over a dozen mapped accounts, and I don't really know any of the
passwords - I would have to look up each one in one of the (few) secure
places they are stored. Quite possible, but certainly annoying. I
would certainly want to know it's going to happen, and know it's for a
good reason.
Perhaps some pop-up on needing a password telling why it might not be
there if it used to be, and at least a pointer to instructions on how to
migrate, if possible.
