Even if the user has a single account file GnuCash isn't smart enough to recognize that a .qif (or .ofx or .hbci for that matter) is an import format and should be opened with the appropriate import routine. It's an interesting idea and if we had a surplus of development resources would be worth pursuing. Unfortunately we have a scarcity of developers and other features
that are more often requested so we're not able to do anything about that in the foreseeable future.
