[GNC] QIF Import Fails

Any time I’m in a pickle and can’t see a transaction that should be there, I check that the register is not set to a filtered view. The transaction might be hidden for some reason. I also check one of the registers for the other accounts involved in the transaction.

There is also a very powerful Find feature that you can even use regex with to find it.

Regards,
Adrien
