Thanks, Andreas. I'll give it a try. By the way, I see that you're doing

Any chance of squeezing that one in before the 2.2.4 release?

I think the plan is that whenever there is no account tab already open, the
QIF importer will open one upon completion. So that would cover these two
situations as well, unless I've misunderstood.
