Why is this here then? If gnucash doesn't need it & the update quotes
feature doesn't need it then it seems to me it shouldn't be here. I'm
sure I have hundreds of useless mouse clicks picking the correct Type
because importing OFX files is buggy and often times a window pops up
asking me to 'Select security/currency' redundant times. The help pages
don't say it isn't needed.
Sorry for the rant, but 'features' of little use are more harm than
good.
