[GNC-dev] Bug 796778 Patch

[David Cousens]

Hi, 

I have attached a patch file with changes to 
gnucash/import-export/import-main-matcher.c and 
gnucash/gtkbuilder/dialog-import.glade for adding multiple selection 
capability to the import-matcher with the ability to assign a single 
transfer  account to the selected transactions to the Bug report
(https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796778). 

Transactions can be selected by any combination of Ctrl-click , Shift -click 
and click and mouse drag. Using either a Right click on the importer or the 
Shift-F10 GTK Popup menu shortcut will bring up a popupmenu with a single 
entry "Assign a transfer account". Clicking on that initiates selecting a 
transfer account and then assigning it to all transactions in the selection. 

Control is the returned to the import matcher where another group of 
transactions can be selected and the process repeated until all transactions 
have a transfer account applied. Clicking OK will then import the 
transactions as usual. 

The orignial double-click to input a transfer account for a single 
transaction is unaffectedby the above changes.  I have tested the above 
changes with "File->Import->Import OFX/QFX". and they work fine.  They 
should also apply to any of the transaction import formats as they were 
changes only to the import-main-matcher which seems to be common to the 
other formats 

I was looking for an appropriate point to modify the documentation, but I 
could not find a section on the importing of transactions from files in 
either the Tutorial and Concepts Guide or the Help Manual. Chapter 6 of the 
Help Manual on Common Transaction operations would seem to me to be a 
logical point to document importing transactions from OFX/QFX or CSV files, 
for example either before or after 6.15 Online Actions. 
e.g. 
6.16 Importing Transactions from Files followed by 
6.17  General Journal. 

Unless the documentation team has another suggestion or already has work in 
progress on this, I am willing to have a go at producing some documentation 
of the importing of transactions from files.
