I have been using 5.0.9 without problems.
I upgraded to new 5.1 release
HomeBank crashes as soon as it starts
The problem appears to be in the data file
When i remove the old data file it starts fine with a new data
How can i use HomeBank 5.1 with my data file which was created in 5.0.9??

If possible, downgrade to 5.0.9 open your file and anonimize, then send to hb email address
available here http://homebank.free.fr/support.php

If the problem is into your file, I can't help without that file.

Hello, I have upgraded to version 5.1.1 and the problem still occurs when opening my 5.0.9 data file in the new version the application just crashes. I would really like to take advantage of the new features but cannot and have to keep using 5.0.9. Is anyone else having the same problem or is it just me?? Any help is appreciated.

After hours of going through my transaction data one by one I found that my data file included bunch of internal transfers to an account which was not existing. For some reason this never was an issue in 5.0.9 but as soon as I upgraded to 5.1+ the new code was crashing when it encountered transfer to account which does not exist.

You may want to handle it in the code more reliably. (just deleting the orphaned transactions or informing the user to clean up)

Hello, I was affected by exactly the same problem (segfault) with 5.1 version. It happened with all 5.1.* versions, on Windows 7, Os X 10.8 and Unubtu 16.04.
The solution was exactly as what you gave in answer #7. I had one internal transfer from non existing account. Atfer it had been removed, everything worked fine.
Thank you very much for your explanation! I think that this should be mentioned somewhere in the main faq.
