Hi!

I am also trying to undesrtand the way Android App works (GNUCashMobile /
GCM) with Descktop GNUCash (GCD).

I've set few accouts up at GCM:

VISA
Wallet
Breakfast
Lunch
Papers

Also, I've checked the 'double-account' option at GCM.

So when I pay for my dayly breackfast I create a new transaction from
'wallet' to 'breakfast', or if y take my lunch, from 'visa' to 'lunch'.

Now I try to move the transactions to GCD. I export the file without any
trouble, and then I import the OFX file into GCD:

1. one after one, first time I import the file, GCD ask me to match the
detected GCM account to a GCD one. I do:

GCM VISA -> GCD Pasivo/Tarjetas/VISA Renfe
GCM Wallet -> GCD Activo/Circulante/Metalico/Bolsillo Jesus M
GCM Breakfast -> GCD Gastos/Cafeteria
GCM Lunch -> GCD Gastos/Restaurantes/Comida
GCM Papers -> GCD Gastos/Extras/Periodicos

No problems till now.

2. Now I get a window with the detected transactions and three optios for
eache one: A (add a new transaction), U+R (update a transactions and
reconcile) and R (just look for matching transactions and reconcile them).

The list shows me every transaction twice: from the expense and from the
pay-way point of view. I mean:

tr1: 10/03/2013 / 2.20€ / Breakfast  <- breakfast account point of view
tr2: 10/03/2013 / -2.20€ / Breakfast  <-  wallet account point of view
tr3: 10/03/2013 / 10€ / Lunch <- lunch account point of view
tr4: 10/03/2013 / -10€ / Lunch <- visa account point of view

Here my problems start:

If I check 'A' GCD creates four transaction:

tr1: 10/03/2013 / 2.20€ / Breakfast : from imbalance-EUR to Gastos/Cafeteria
tr2: 10/03/2013 / -2.20€ / Breakfast : from Gastos/Cafeteria to
imbalance-EUR
tr3: 10/03/2013 / 10€ / Lunch : from imbalance-EUR to
Gastos/Restaurantes/Comida
tr4: 10/03/2013 / -10€ / Lunch : from Gastos/Restaurantes/Comida to
imbalance-EUR

If I check 'U+R' or 'R', I got reconcilied a previous transactions that
matched TR3, but nothing for TR1, 2 and 4

So, is this the expected way for importing GCM files or (I hope so) I am
doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!!
