Bulk transaction move

[Thomas Young]

Hi David et al

Do you know of any exporting-importing scheme that would give me an 
opportunity for a bulk edit without losing data. The CSV export-import 
scheme via Excel has not worked since there seems to be no way of doing 
this without losing splits and memos. The main problem with the CSV 
export is that for each transaction there will be as many lines as there 
are splits with no way to import that same data back into Gnucash. I 
wish there was some symmetry in the exporting and importing.

Thanks
Thomas
