Re: Importing Quicken 16 files.

Hi.
The OFX importer should be able to handle QFX, but I don't know if it will handle a full dump.  You may need to export one account at a time.

Subject: Importing Quicken 16 files.

I have just registered on this list, having downloaded the MACOS version of gnuCash intending to import my two decades of transactions recorded in continuously upgraded versions of Quicken.

I am unsure what to do next.

The obvious thing (simply installing the app) seems to me problematic as it refers to files of type QIF as the install mode, and apparently Quicken 2016 does not use QIF files for backup.

The backup file suffix is “.quicken2016backup”, which opened in emacs provides the information that it is a directory with multiple subfiles/directories.

The only export files Q-16 provides are QMTF, QXF, and register transactions in CSV format.

QXF would be easy to code to, I suppose, as it’s in XML format. But it’s not QIF.
