Mint Export Larger Than Extension Export #73

Closed MilesBHuff closed 5 months ago

MilesBHuff commented 5 months ago

This one is interesting. Exporting my transactions the night before the Mint shutdown, I had the same filesize (1.1MiB) for both the site export and the extension export. But the post-shutdown site export yields a larger file (1.4MiB) than before, while the extension export still yields the same size of file it yielded before (along with the same number of transactions). (Yes, the extension still works, even post-shutdown.)

I'm not sure what the reason for this discrepancy is, but I wanted to mention it.

This is different from #71 -- all of my accounts are unhidden.

I think I figured it out: Transactions marked as duplicates were not exported prior to the Mint shutdown, but they are exported now.

The Monarch extension, however, is evidently exporting things exactly as it did before the shutdown: without the duplicates.

I would think that we'd want to export these, wouldn't we?

Nope -- I think non-duplicate transactions were also missing in the non-splash-screen exports. I have the same issue as #71. Closing.
