[GNC] Unable to import QIF or QFX.

[Evan Platt]

Wow I feel like an idiot. Attention to detail LOL. Quicken is
exporting a QXF file. Gnucash is importing QFX. So my guess is to
export from quicken to Gnucash I have to do account by account with
QIF? Or is there some other way?

So Importing one of my QIF files (my main QIF file) - file looks good.
About 2 MB. When importing, it just says failed. It's at the final QIF
import screen. No details on the log :(
