Some downloads contain transactions for $0.00 (Discover Card almost always does this). This causes KMM to create a new payee (usually the payee field is some dumb message) which nees to be cleaned up as well as a ledger entry that is total nonsense. This is a request for an option to ignore downloaded transactions for $0.00.
Just as a temporary workaround, is there anything at all sufficiently common in the payee field that you can use to attract all those transactions to a "dummy" payee? I do that for many of the transactions I download that do not need a payee (mostly transfers from my checking account for online payment of various credit cards or other accounts.) I still need to edit them, but at least I don't also need to remove the payee every time.

Now I just caught them sending a zero amount on a legal Payee. FWIW I sent Discover CC a note about it. They even seemed to care. Time will tell.
I'm about to file a new wishlist item for an option to prevent the importer from creating new payees, as I find they are much more likely to be bogus, based on irrelevant words in the banks payee or memo fields. So, it seems closely related to this one, but I suspect they serve sufficiently different purposes that they should stay separate.
