You are right. If you choose to encrypt your file, you should include the emergency before the emergency takes place. There's no miracle, we cannot help you if the KMyMoney is not included in the file. We recommend it, but we do not include it by default as it's a privacy issue. It has to be a choice of the user. After all, including the key gives the key holders access to the file (should it reach their hands). So, the mechanism is there, should you want to use it, but no "next, default, next, next, ok". :) Regards, Alvaro
