[GNC] Selection of fields in CSV import

[David Carlson]

Florian,

The answer to #1 is actually very simple.  When you only have one field for
both Debit and Credit the numbers for one of them are just negative.  Thus
just use credit for your mapping for bank accounts or debit for mapping
credit card accounts.

#2, Gnucash kind of assumes that Payee names usually get put into the
description field, although you do not have to do it that way.

#3  In releases 2.6.x, the CSV importer cannot import multiple splits and
notes are the only mappable field other than the description.  They are
assigned to the field below the description that you do not see unless you
have selected View > Double Line.

I have not seen how release 3.x maps fields or if multiple splits can even
be imported through the CSV importer.
