Hi I'm looking at switching from gnucash. My starting point has been to use: https://github.com/ets/MoneyDance-GnuCash-Importer to produce an xml file. I've tried calling it .md and .moneydance But I can't find a way to open these.

I did wonder if I needed to try and open it in an old version, so I downloaded the 2012 version, but when I opened I get an error:
"Error loading extension: java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name com.moneydance.modules.features.txtimport.Resources, locale en_US"

Wondering if there is any way of opening the XML and getting it into the current version>

   Hi Chris

   I had not heard of this GnuCash to Moneydance XML converter before and have no knowledge of how well it works. The current version of Moneydance does not support importing the old Moneydance XML files. The most recent version that did was I believe MD2011. You can download MD2011 from the link below:

   Brilliant, that worked very well. (I just needed to modify the convertor
   to set the currency to pounds).

   Is there any way of requesting a licence for the 2011 version so that I can
   import all my transactions. (I bought a 2016 licence earlier today)

   Cheers
   Chris

   You shouldn't need a license to import the data from your xml file into MD2011. Once you have everything in MD2011 you can install and run MD2015 (the latest version) and it will automatically convert your data into the new format.
