[csv import gui]why coltype->account vs. account->coltype

The 1st attached file shows the [Preview Settings] window
showing choices for the column types as:

  None
  Date
  Num
  Description
  Notes
  Account
  Deposit
  Withdrawal
  Balance

this happens *before* the account is selected.  Now if the register
for the selected account's transactions appears as in the
2nd attached file, then there's no way to specify the Price.

However, if the account is selected 1st, then the column types
used in the [Preview Settings] could reflect the actual column
names as they appear in the register, IOW, for this case
the column types in [Preview Settings] would be:

  None
  Date
  Num
  Description
  Transfer
  R
  Shares
  Price
  Buy
  Sell
  Balance


This would be much more intuitive and allow the user to
set the stock price as well as number of shares.

Am I missing something?

-regards,
Larry
