[GNC] ofx/qfx import to V3

 David,
Thanks!
I was able to get and install the April 28 build. (https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/maint/gnucash-3.0-2018-04-28-git-3.0-116-gb761b5a0d+.setup.exe) Avast AV doesn't like either the installer or the installed executable to begin with but satisfies itself that both are malware free.

This version does import a QFX file, however I did still see some issues:
- the "Select an OFX/QFX file to process" dialog box had no apparent means of browsing to the file, nor of entering any sort of path to the file.  It did open the last location I imported from. So, to test, I moved the current import to that location - no problem.
- the import process seemed to be less adept at matching transactions than it has been previously, though without going back and testing a previous version I can't be completely certain.  However, I've been using Gnucash and this feature in particular for a long time and I'm pretty sure.  (I just went to check how long by opening an old Gnucash archive - the "File/Open" dialog box also does not allow browsing to another directory or entry of a path) (opened the oldest gnucash file I have available.  I've been using it since at least 2007 and this is the first issue I've experienced - huge thank you to all that have made that possible!)

 - I believe that a couple of transactions that were matched were also duplicated in the register.  The file auto-saved so I can't readily back out the changes to confirm this...

Thank you again.

Deken

A moment ago I was able to refresh a link to https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/maint/ and see that there is now a build dated April 28.  Perhaps you had a temporary connection issue.

I'm willing to try but both the direct link and the link to the directory without the filename time out. I'm unable to download.

All the way down on the bug report was a link to a more recent gnucash build 
with plenty of fixes applied:
https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/maint/gnucash-3.0-2018-04-27-git-3.0-94-g74fd6e046+.setup.exe
Have you tried installing that one and test the ofx import stuff ?
