ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Jack 2021-05-20 01:00:40 UTC
First, when you mention the "file I want to save it in" do you mean the folder, not the specific file?  Also, do you really need to mount that folder before accessing it?  If it is a folder on a local hard drive, do not check the "mount" box.  If it is a remote folder, and it does need to be mounted, please provide more information about the type of mount which is needed.
Thanks for the additional information.
Comment 2 Thomas Baumgart 2021-05-20 06:01:29 UTC
As mentioned by Jack: the mount option is not needed on Windows systems and has been removed in newer KMyMoney versions for Windows.

Please take a look at bug #419082 which has been fixed in KMyMoney 5.1.0.  It also mentions a workaround which may work for you. Feedback welcome.

When I don't check the mount box I get an error message saying "error
copying file to device"

Please answer the other questions from comment #1.  Where are you trying to save the file to?  Is it a local folder or remote?  If remote, what type of file system is it?

If you reply by email, please strip the previous comments, as your entire email is added as the next comment to the bug.  Thanks.

I reported what you wanted. I tried to save it in a file on my laptop and I
also tried to put it on a jump drive without success.

Comment 9 Thomas Baumgart 2021-06-20 20:03:12 UTC
Sorry 'bout that. It's an automatism that jumps in if the status is not changed (which you can only do via the web frontend). It does not get changed by sending a mail. Switched status to 'reported'.
