Comment 8 for bug 661166

Oh, yes. You're right! Must've been late...

Let me correct it:

1. Install HomeBankMobile app on your droid.
2. Export a settings-file (xml, cvs, whatever) on some way from HomeBank on your PC
3. Transfer it to your droid. (Dropbox, UbuntuOne, SDcard, Email whatever)
4. Import the file on the phone. Now you have all your accounts, budget, up-to-date balance. (But not the past transactions!)
5. Collect transactions on your droid on the go.
6. Export the QIF file from HomeBankMobile
7. Transfer it back → see 3.)
8. Import it into HomeBank on the PC.
9. Beginn at → 2.

Why on 2.? Because then you would have your updated account balance on your phone and can easily see how much money is on your accounts. It is a extra feature besides just collecting data!

Yes, a server-client concept would be cool! But for a first implementation that could be a way. The problem how we sync the data can be solved later.
But running HomeBank as a real server could also make it difficult: Behind a firewall you can't reach it. It has to listen to a port and so data could be read by hackers.
A encrypted automated file-based sync via a common service like UbuntuOne seems saver and easier to me.
