Quicken import

[David T.]

Elmar, 

When I did this process in the dark ages, I was able to have Quicken export All Accounts and Categories, and import the entire file in one go. That may have changed with recent versions of Quicken.

GnuCash will, as you say, create accounts for each Quicken category, so if your Quicken transactions are all assigned to categories, the process can be quite efficient.
