Hello Jack,
OK for the "Opening balances" entry. I will ignore it until it is
"fixed". The intent of the account is also what I had thought... One
thing I did notice using 4.7.2 for production now is that it is
exceptionally slower than 4.6.2.. Not sure why, but each mouse click
takes between 6 & 10 seconds... Entering an account takes 10 seconds+
even if the account ledger containes less than 100 transactions. Not
sure if it is related to my previous crash? Any way to see what takes
so much effort?

Since KMM follows proper double entry bookkeeping practice, every transaction needs \
to be balanced - money always comes from somewhere. When you create a new account, \
and give it a starting balance, that money has to come from somewhere. That is \
what the "Opening balances" account is for. It is simply a creation to hold the \
"other" end of every transaction that given an account its starting balance. I \
think it actually was present in earlier versions of KMM, it was just better \
hidden.<br> <br>
To get to this account, right click on the opening balance transaction in any of your \
own accounts. There should be an entry in the context menu "Go to 'Opening \
balances'". That will open the "Opening balances" account in the ledger<br> \
<br> NOTE: I just tried this, and it did work, with the one issue that the name \
of the account at the top of the ledger stayed the name of the previous \
account. If I confirm this when I get home, I'll file a bug for it. \
However, it appears to only be a cosmetic issue. It really is the "Opening \
balances" account which is displayed. You can then edit the account to change \
its opening date.<br> Once you fix this, feel free to post your remaining errors - \
perhaps just to the mailing list, since this is no longer relevant to the \
bug.</blockquote> <p><br>
