KMyMoney Save Encrypted; 100% Data Loss
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Hi,
I'm using Windows 10 Home (version 10.0.18363); KMyMoney (Version 5.0.6-8.1); GPG4 (Version 3.1.11)

I installed KMyMoney in January and shortly afterwards tried to get encryption sorted, so updated and applied Gpg4win. The keys are recognised and I can load the encrypted KMyMoney data file OK.

However when I tried to save the encrypted KMymoney file all data in the file was lost. Explorer still lists the file but with size 0KB. (Fortunately I was able to load an un-encrypted backup). I've searched the Gpg4win section for anything similar and wonder if it could be 'file wiping'?
I've tried saving an un-encrypted version of the file with KMyMoney and it works perfectly. I'm therefore now thinking it may be a problem with Gpg4win. I've also posted on KMyMoney website but got no suggested fix, but one other Windows user says they have the exact same problem.

Details

Version
Gpg4win 3.1.11

Hi,
Thanks for the report but, but we are not developers of KMymoney, I can only offer to help the developers if they have questions but please rather report a bug at bugs.kde.org regarding that so that they can figure out what might be wrong.

In general GnuPG should behave similarly on windows and on linux but I don't know how KMymoney uses GnuPG.

Could you please add a link to a related issue at bugs.kde.org here, even though I'm closing this issue for now you will still be able to comment.

OK. The reason I'd posted on here was because KMyMoney was working properly until I tried to use the encryption.

Thanks for the link to KDE bug reporting and for the support. I've posted the issue there: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417385
