Importing Quicken

[David Carlson]

cicko,

A very nice start.

I would add that those with large data files extending back several years
should consider:

1. not importing all of it.

2. if you want to import it all, break down your export QIF process to one
asset or liability account at a time and for limited time intervals such as
one year at a time.

The one account at a time procedure makes it possible for GnuCash to detect
most transfers between accounts so they are not duplicated during the
import.  I would recommend that to all users.

I think that split memos are still not imported as of recent GnuCash
releases up to 2.6.17 or so, but do not quote me on that.  I have not tried
it recently.
