[GNC] QIF File Containing Only Quicken Category Data Does Not Import to GNUCash 3.7

[Chris Hagood]

Hello All:

I just installed GNUCash 3.7 on my WinPro7(64-bit) system.  I am trying to import data from my Quicken Deluxe 2013 dataset.  I am using my "normal" user (i.e., a non-administrator).

Based on the suggestions from the GNUCash Quicken specific Wiki and my experience with a prior attempt to do this with version 3.5, I decided to import just my account structure from Quicken using a QIF export that only includes the Categories from my Quicken file.  I looked at the QIF file created and it looks okay to me but when I import it to an empty GNUCash file nothing is created.  The dialog seems to work without errors but the "Match QIF accounts with GnuCash accounts" step is blank (i.e., no accounts).  When I complete the steps, there are no errors but there are also no accounts created.

I tried running the program with the --debug switch to see if the log file had any hints but I could not find the log file.

I have tried to search the bug list but could not find anything the seemed to apply.

Please help.  I would really like to dump Quicken.

Thanks,
Chris
