SUMMARY KMyMoney Version 5.0.6-8.1; GPG4 Version 3.1.11 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. KMyMoney configured for GPG encryption 2. Load money data file and update, then save encrypted file 3. Backup of unmodified data file is save OK but modified fiel is saved with no data. (Explorer shows 0KB) OBSERVED RESULT 100% data loss EXPECTED RESULT Saved data SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 10 Home (version 10.0.18363) macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This was reported on the KDE forum previously (https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=164342#p427618). One other Windows user said they had exactly the same problem
I'm pretty sure there are already other bugs filed for this, but I won't have time to check until later. However, what type of file system are you saving to? Local hard drive, network share (what server type), dropbox folder, ....? On some of the non-local destinations, there have been problems related to some of the underlying KDE libraries on Windows.
If it's an issue with the encryption / GPGME GnuPG integration I can offer to help with that from the GnuPG side, but as I'm no KMymoney user / dev myself I would need a more qualified bug report.
Jack, I'm on a PC and all the programs and data are on the one hard disk. I did search the bugs database prior to posting but couldn't see any existing bugs that seemed to be related, hence the new post. I've been checking how KMyMoney is behaving. As per the bug report it still saves modified data files with no data, but I've found that if I choose to manually 'save as' and give the file a new name it does save the modified file properly. Unfortunately I don't know enough about the program for this to help me but I hope it may help you?
Les, Sorry, I initially missed the encryption part. Have you tried running KMM from command line? Sometimes error messages or useful warnings are sent to console. Also, it may be good to continue the discussion on the forum, and bring the final solution back here. I'll be spinning up a Windows VirtualBox instance soon to do my taxes, so I might be able to test there. Jack

I don't recall the discussion from the forum this much later, but I'll assume this was actually fixed or at least the cause determined.
