 - Budget : une catégorie dont le parent a été supprimé ou est introuvable ne disparaît plus de la grille Budget ni du rapport Budget vs réel : elle s'affiche au premier niveau, comme dans l'arbre des catégories (#393).
 - Import : les messages de « Créer un dossier d'exemple » suivent désormais la langue de l'application : un dossier d'exemple déjà présent dans le dossier d'import (nommé, avec la marche à suivre : actualiser la liste, ou le renommer s'il n'y apparaît pas), un dossier d'import introuvable, une date du jour illisible. Toute autre erreur reste affichée telle que le système l'a écrite. Une fois les dossiers d'exemple écrits, le message de réussite ne s'affiche que si le dossier d'import a pu être relu ; sinon le message d'erreur s'affiche seul, au lieu des deux à la fois (#384).
 - Import : après le choix d'un autre dossier d'import, l'avertissement des fichiers posés directement dans le dossier d'import ne nomme plus les fichiers de l'ancien dossier sous le nom du nouveau, pendant la lecture du nouveau dossier ou quand il ne peut pas être lu (#446).
+- Import : un message d'erreur ne reste plus affiché une fois le dossier d'import relu, après « Actualiser » ou après le choix d'un autre dossier par « Parcourir » ; le message d'un dossier d'exemple déjà présent dans le dossier d'import demandait justement d'actualiser. Annuler le choix du dossier garde le message (#384).

 - Budget: a category whose parent was deleted or cannot be found no longer disappears from the Budget grid and the Budget vs Actual report: it now shows at the top level, as in the category tree (#393).
 - Import: the messages of “Create a sample folder” now follow the app's language: a sample folder already in the import folder (named, with what to do: refresh the list, or rename it if it does not show up), an import folder that cannot be found, today's date unreadable. Any other error still shows as the system wrote it. Once the sample folders are written, the success message only shows when the import folder could be read again; otherwise the error message shows alone, instead of both at once (#384).
 - Import: after you choose another import folder, the warning about the files placed directly in the import folder no longer names the previous folder's files under the new folder's name, while the new folder is being read or when it cannot be read (#446).
+- Import: an error message no longer stays on screen once the import folder is read again, after “Refresh” or after choosing another folder with “Browse”; the message of a sample folder already in the import folder asked for that very refresh. Cancelling the folder choice keeps the message (#384).
