investment import - new security dialog

[Christian Stimming]

Thanks for reporting this. Please submit such an observation as bugs 
into bugzilla, as otherwise they might get forgotten too easily.

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GnuCash

In this concrete case, I think the mapping from the OFX fields to the 
gnucash data fields happen in src/import-export/ofx/gnc-ofx-import.c in 
function ofx_proc_security_cb(); if you're brave enough, you can 
experiment a bit by yourself how to change that mapping so that your 
file seems to be imported correctly. But please keep in mind that this 
might also be a bug in your OFX file or in the external libofx.

As for your other message: If you talk about "import", please always add 
the kind of import (QIF, OFX, HBCI?). I guess you mean ofx import. In 
that case, the name of the new account is built in the same file as 
above but in function ofx_proc_account_cb(), where it says 
account_description=g_strdup_printf(...). You can experiment for 
yourself whether you find a better solution here.

In any case, if you want to ensure such problem reports don't get lost 
here on the mailing list, you should rather report them into bugzilla.

(By the way if you've got a running gnucash installation and you only 
changed something in the import-export/ofx directory, it is sufficient 
to run "make install" in that directory.)
