QIF import duplicate question

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

Please remember to CC gnucash-user on all your replies...

There ARE some cases where it's better to import both files at the same
time, and there are times when it's better to import them separately.
I don't know when.  The QIF importer is fairly "magic" and really needs
to be re-implemented in C and use the Generic Import matcher like OFX
and HBCI..
