Fwd: Android to Desktop

[Dave H]

Mike,

Take a look at https://github.com/codinguser/gnucash-android and the
support site at  https://plus.google.com/communities/104728406764752407046
if you want details/support for the Gnucash Android app.  The support site
which mentions the double minus signs in QIF export among other things -
see below.

As it says version 2.3.0 if that's what you are running is beta software
apparently so use with caution :-)

Also XML files are usually just text files which if all else fails you can
open with a text editor to see if there's anything strange looking in the
file.

Cheers Dave H.
