Description gnome 2014-10-18 06:57:29 UTC 
Kmymoney shares account templates with gnucash using a command line tool xea2kmt.

While trying to update gnucash accounts it turns out that the mentioned template is converted to an empty kmt file without any accounts. 

Gnucash account template files have a toplevel account of type="ROOT" and always the same id="1972cce2e2364f95b2b0bc014502661d". 
Accounts on the second level refers to this root account by the parent attribute an third level account refers to the second level account and so on.
In the mentioned file there is only one second level account "Computer Equipment" refering to the root account. All other accounts are *not* childs of ROOT.

   ROOT
      Computer Equipment
   all other accounts

Is this behavior intentional or is this a bug ?

Taking a look at the previously imported account template at https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/office/kmymoney/repository/revisions/master/entry/kmymoney/templates/en_GB/uk-vat.kmt this looks like a bug in the gnucash account template introduced after the mentioned import.
Comment 2 Mike Evans 2014-10-18 09:34:43 UTC 
Indeed it does appear to be a bug.

Note.
The parent of Computer Equipment is Capital Equipment which is a child of Assets, which in turn has no parent.  It should be a child of ROOT.

This was a user submitted template, added Sat Apr 21 21:26:33 2007 +0000

I added the ROOT part on 2011-11-28 11:37:38 -0500 but It seems I didn't finish the job by making the other parts into children of ROOT.

Please feel free to submit a patch to fix this bug.
