--- Comment #15 from Jack <ostrof...@users.sourceforge.net> ---
Sorry for the delayed response, but I was correct, you seem to misunderstand
how liability accounts work in KMyMoney. An account of type liability
represents money you owe. A positive amount in the account represents a debt,
but it is shown negative on the home page. I assume your intent with the
starting balance of the liability account is to show you owe someone that
amount. If you switch the sign on the starting balance, it will work as you
expect, even if it is not completely obvious at first. If you would play with
a credit card or loan account, the names of the columns (such as charge and
payment) might make more sense than the simple increase and decrease of a
liability account. However, in that case, you can think of it as an increase
or decrease of your liability - which is the amount you owe. Your starting
balance shows as a decrease, as if you had overpaid a loan.
If you have any particular suggestions for improving the manual, I'll be glad
to consider them as I really do need to update it for the Frameworks version
currently being developed.
