Why are "preferred accounts" hidden from Home page display sections "Payment accounts"?

Hello,

  1. I use the section “Payment accounts” in my kmymoney home page, see the second section in screenshot:

I have one preferred account (account type is checking

I have several payment accounts, and the Home page display section “Payment accounts” shows currently all payment accounts except one. The missing account has the property “preferred account”. Is it coincidence?

The current help https: //docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kmymoney/kmymoney/details.settings.home.html states:

Payment accounts
This will display all Payment accounts; these include any account into which income can be deposited, and/or out of which bills can be paid.

Honestly i don’t understand why a preferred account having type “checking” could be excluded from the list of “payment accounts”.

Is it a bug?

  1. i have another question for the same section:
    Why are the accounts having balance = 0 shown in section “Payment accounts” in my kmymoney home page, although my settings should prevent them to show up?
  • section “Payment accounts” in my kmymoney home page shows 0 € balanced accounts:

  • Settingsconfigure KMyMoneyGeneralFilter: Hide accounts with a zero balance from Home is activated:

  • Settingsconfigure KMyMoneyHome: Hide accounts with a zero balance from Home is activated:

by the way, why is this option a two places? is it a duplicate or do both options have distinct effects?

Many thanks for your help in advance.


Kmymoney version 5.2.1-c3d3f7e on OS Debian bookworm

  1. Is (was) a bug fixed with this commit.
  2. Even if the setting is to hide them, they will still be displayed when you activate the “Show all accounts” option in the view menu. The setting itself may be kept in two spots for backward compatibility. We could possibly remove it from the General/Filter section because it is related to the home view specifically.

Thank you, i have just tested with KMyMoney Version 5.2.1-d9f27ab, it works now.

in my case, i forgot to write that the “show all accounts” option was not activated, sorry:

That is why i am surprised to see the accounts having balance = 0 shown in section “Payment accounts” of the home page.

ok. From my perspective, this can be removed.
