Bug in KMM 0.9.3 - abort if try to save as database without QT SQL drivers installed

[Jack Ostroff]

If I open an existing KMM file, and then select "save to database", I  
get an error popup "There are no Qt SQL drivers installed..." which is  
correct.  When I click OK, I get a "Select Database" window, where I  
would expect to go back to the main window.   If I click in the (empty)  
select database box, I get a segfault SIGSEV (signal 11).  If I instead  
click "create sql" and enter a file name and click OK, I get an  
(expected?) uncaught error "Unknown database driver type in file  
mymoneystoragesql.cpp line 108" and then a SIGABRT (signal 6) when I  
click OK.

Please let me know if I can provide any additional information, but  
both of these outcomes are reproducible.

I just noticed something even stranger, and perhaps more of a problem.  
After reading another thread about compiling plugins, I re-compiled KMM  
myself.  At the end of ./configure --without-arts, it said it was going  
to include all four listed plugins, including the sqlite3.  After  
compiling, the configure screen for plugins lists only the OFX import  
plugin, which is enabled.  What happened to the other plugins?  There  
were no errors I noticed during either ./configure or make.  Is there  
some link to not having arts?  I thought that was just sound/multimedia.

No, don't worry. It lists four options (not necessarily plugins at that
point). In fact, two are referring to OFX which is contained in a plugin. The
fourth which is Chart support isn't a plugin at all but code directly
contained in KMyMoney. SQLite3 is a Qt plugin which you won't see in
KMyMoney's plugin configuration dialog. So the one remaining is 'KMyMoney
OFX' which you see in your dialog.

I agree, that this might be misleading to a non-developer and we might clean
the display up in the future.

Hope that helps / explains.
