Example and preset categories files should be included into homebank-data deb package (/usr/share/homebank/datas/ folder)

[David D Lowe]

On the first run of HomeBank, a welcoming window is show, offering three options. The latter option is to "Open the example file".

If I choose this option, I get this error dialog:

File error
The file /usr/share/homebank/datas/example.xhb is not a valid HomeBank file.

I expected the example file to be opened at this point.

Also since v4.3 homebank comes with preset categories files for some languages (loaded when creating a new wallet). Preset categories files (loaded when creating a new wallet) and example file (see http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mdoyen/homebank/main/files/head:/data/datas/) should be included into homebank-data deb package (/usr/share/homebank/datas/ folder).

This problem was already reported 2 years ago, see LP bug #666845

This is to do with the Ubuntu package of HomeBank being split in to 2, one with the actual program in and one with the help files and the examples etc etc etc

David,
HomeBank is already split - there is homebank and homebank-data binary deb packages.

Preset categories files (loaded when creating a new wallet) and example file (see http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mdoyen/homebank/main/files/head:/data/datas/) should be included into homebank-data deb package (/usr/share/homebank/datas/ folder).
