I have been using MoneyDance for years, but my queries to their support email address have not been answered regarding being able to upgrade at their upgrade price. I was going to run a kmymoney test, but for some reason, when I click in import/QIF, no dialog box comes up. I'm currently running KDE 3.2.3.
Before I started using MoneyDance ( not too long ago :) ) I've tried kMyMoney. The only version that somewhat worked for me was 0.6.4 (I had to upgrade the KDE for that) It has a very bad implemented file import feature. That was my primary reason to give it up and move to MoneyDance.
When I went to import a QIF file in GNU Cash (1.8.7), it failed with a parse error, "data for number or date does not match a known format".
Frankly speaking I would not waste time on KMyMoney... If you decided to "abandon" MoneyDance probably you should start looking at GNUCash (I did not like it) it looks like this is the only alternative on Linux. If you'll find anything else I would glad to hear it :)
In any case, I was curious to see if anyone had used both GNUCash and kmymoney and could render an opinion. Or, if someone had converted from MoneyDance to either.
It may not be a difficult move - the MoneyDance has an QIF export feature, but I did not play with GNUCash "import druid" enough to see if it imports data properly. Good luck, Dmitry
