[GNC] QIF Import Problem

[David T.]

... And I have none of these problems with 13 years of history. No lags, 
loading, while slow, has neither decreased nor increased over the years 
with a growing file size. YMMV, but I've used both Mac versions, and now 
the Windows version (currently 3.5).

I've said it before, but it bears repeating. When I imported many years 
ago, I exported everything from Quicken into GnuCash in one grand pass. 
GnuCash set up the accounts based on the transactions and picked up the 
matching sides of transfers such as the OP mentioned.
