The impact of hiding accounts

Using version 5.1.2 , and I have a number of zero balance accounts when I view the 'Home" icon. Want to leave the accounts in KMM, just not see the zero balance ones. They are closed with Financial Institutions.

If I close these accounts, then change the config. to “Do not show closed accounts” will that affect other accounts/transactions where the closed account had activity in the past ? I don’t want balances affected, and still may have some need for the (closed) account transaction in reports and other searching.

The main objective is to not see them. :slight_smile:

I haven’t been able to find a work-around for this. I would prefer that you could check a box “Do not show zero-balance accounts”. As you surmise, closing an account (i.e., an equity like Tesla after it’s sold) removes it from some important reports later on. A

@Atheist - Thanks, yes that is my concern also. Needing these accounts not to be visible whilst at the same time, not loose the audit trail.

There are a number of views now within KMM that offer a filter. Can a filter be added on the account list, the home/main page ? Balances > 0 ?

@Atheist - I have added it to the wishlist - 478904 – Do not show zero balance accounts

It was implemented in the master branch as a little Christmas present even before you posted the wishlist entry :slight_smile:

@ipwizard - Oh wow, thank you, a very nice Christmas present. :smile:

@ipwizard - I downloaded the latest DEvelopment release and can see the new feature, thank you. I will probably wait until that goes into the stable release of the AppImage though. :smile:

@Atheist - fyi

Hello,

i also would like to hide the accounts having a current balance of 0.

i have activated the proper tickbox here:

and then restarted the program.

Unfortunately the three accounts having a current balance = 0 still show up (here the assets side, issue is the same on liabilities side):

Have i misunderstood the feature?
Or does the feature work in relationship to the account type (Checking, Savings, Cash, Loan, Investment, Asset, Credit card, Liability)? I mean it works only for specific account types?

Regards,


KMyMoney version 5.1.3-db8f32618
Betriebssystem: ElementaryOS 6.1

You misunderstand the meaning of that setting. It applies to “equities” not to all accounts. Those are the subaccounts within Investment Accounts which hold a specific stock or other investment within that specific account.
There is no general setting for not showing 0 balance accounts. Depending on your situation, you may want to Close those accounts, and then there is a setting to not show Closed accounts.

The bug for this is solved, see 478904 – Do not show zero balance accounts

It mentions version 5.1.2 , and I’m running KMM 5.1.3 in Kubuntu 24.04.1 , however no option is showing ?

You misread. It will be fixed in 5.2, not 5.1.2. There is still no definite timeline for 5.2, but we’re making progress. You can test this version by using a Developer’s Version Appimage, compiled from git master branch.
