Importing Account Hierarchy

[Dave H]

The current version is 2.6.16, I suggest you upgrade to it, a lot of water
has gone under the bridge since 2.2.4 :-)

Exporting my accounts file in the same manner in 2.6.16 gave me
accounts.gnucash, an xml file which can be directly open in GnuCash - no
import of any sort required.  You might want to check that you've got the
"File Name Extensions" checked on - can you see extensions for other files
ok ?

Cheers Dave H.
