If you import a qif file, and then do File/Import/QIF, it brings up the QIF import dialog with the previously imported file selected, but it doesn't automatically import it again. I see the error says "Error while loading file ..." but from testing, I'm pretty sure it's not actually trying to import that file. It's just trying to use that file to pre-populate the file selection field in the import dialog, and the field is failing to "load" the filename. It's still a bug, but it needs a slightly different description. I don't know if there is a flag to that field to ignore a non-existing file, or if KMM needs to explicitly test to the existence of the file before opening the dialog.

File access error when import QIF
I see the same behaviour, every time I attempt to import a QIF there is a file access error as the import dialog attempts to open the QIF file from a previous import which no longer exists. I have not re-tested, but in my previous tests, the "old" qif file was just listed in the dialog, but the not found error would not happen unless you clicked the button to actually perform the import. Are you saying you get the error just by selecting Import/QIF... and not clicking anything else? Also, as you did not expand the details, it is not certain what your specific error is. I finally got a change to try this again, and I confirm that it does immediately pop up an error if the file cannot be found. This message is from kmymoney/plugins/qif/import/kimportdlg.cpp (line 138 in master branch,) where it is checking the validity of the file name in the dialog whenever the file name changes. I suspect (but have not actually traced the code) that this is being triggered when the dialog is first presented as if the file name had just been typed in. It is not actually trying to open the file at that point, just test whether it exists. I don't know how easy it will be to skip the warning if the file name is simply there from having been used the last time a qif file was imported. |
