This chapter describes the formats in which KMyMoney stores its data in permanent form on the user's storage device. In general, KMyMoney stores its information in form of an XML document. Depending on the actual format, this XML document will be written
as a plain text file encoded in UTF-8,
as a compressed file using GZIP compression,
as an encrypted file using GPG encryption, or
as an anonymous plain text file encoded in UTF-8 but with all your personal data scrambled.
This is the most space consuming format supported, as no compression is
performed. It is not intended for normal use, and is provided to support
debugging purposes and the capability to modify the file manually. If you end
a filename in .xml, the file will be
stored in this format.
Manual modification of the file is not recommended to the normal user, and should only be performed if the internal working of KMyMoney is fully understood or if instructions from the developers tell you what to do. Don't blame the KMyMoney developers if you screw up your data: You have been warned!
