Encoding and structure are the two important things. xmllint would be the tool to use. I scanned the GNC plugin's open() call real quick. Here is what it checks: - file is not a database (e.g. SQL, SQLite, ...) - file is on local drive (url starts with file://) - file is readable - if file is gzip compressed (first two bytes are "\037\213") it re-opens it for decompression - first bytes in file are not "SQ" - the first 70 bytes of the file must contain the regex "<gnc-v(\\d+)" In case all that is true, a dialog is shown. This contains a switch to turn on debug messages which are printed to the console (in case KMyMoney was started via terminal) while the file is parsed. Now I have two questions: Does the dialog is shown? Do these debug messages provide any hint or details why the import fails?
