Hi,
Starting to use KMyMoney (which I compiled from source -- and it's
nice that it works when it's installed in other than default KDE
directory), I tried to configure it for somewhat better security and
noticed the following two problems.
1. I don't like the idea of any program dealing with sensitive info
unexpectedly accessing unfamiliar Internet sites, but I couldn't get
rid of the default stock-quote URLs. When I deleted them from the rc
file, they all came back. I suppose I could spend N hours removing
Internet access classes and/or methods from the source code, but that
would be a never ending struggle trying to keep up when future
versions come out.
2. In a similar vein, I don't consider the 'Documents' directory
sufficiently private for financial data (since it has 755 perms by
default/tradition, because it is intended to be readable by others),
but I couldn't figure out how to make KMyMoney's File dialogs start
in a different directory -- there doesn't seem to be any parameter in
the rc file, and KDE's "Work Path" doesn't affect it. And again,
modifying the C++ would be a never ending burden. I also am reluctant
to encrypt the file, due to risk of key loss (and a recovery key held
by other than a personal friend, attorney etc. doesn't appeal either).
Other than these I am so far quite impressed with KMyMoney. It's very
encouraging that there are so many high-quality GUI applications that
are Open Source.
Keep up the good work!
