Yes, of course, the ambiguity detection is right up front, as quickly
as possible (it does require reading and quick-parsing the whole QIF
file before you can detect ambiguities).  That was always the plan, to
do that first and then (after the user is done adding files) combine
and continue.  My doc was just unclear that the question stopped at
the end of the paragraph and the rest of the text continued.

I do like the idea of adding a "choose this for all files" checkbox.
