What is a .KMY file?
A .KMY file is a type of file that is used by a program called KMyMoney. KMyMoney is a tool that helps people manage their money on computers that run Linux. This file keeps track of important money-related information like bank account details, money transactions, investments, things you own that are worth money, and credit card details. It is the main type of file that KMyMoney uses to save and open this information.
To open a .KMY file, you need to use the KMyMoney program. However, it's interesting to know that a .KMY file is actually a special kind of file called an XML file, but it is squeezed smaller using something called Gzip compression. This means if you're curious about what's inside the .KMY file without using KMyMoney, you can change the file's name from something.kmy to something.xml.gz. After you do this, you can make the file bigger again (decompress it) with a tool that works with Gzip, and then you can look at the file with any program that lets you view XML or text files.
Even though KMyMoney is mainly for Linux, you can also use it on Windows computers if you set up something called the KDE Platform first. If you have a Mac computer, you can use KMyMoney by installing something called MacPorts. This way, no matter what kind of computer you have, you can use KMyMoney to manage your finances.
