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

[David Cousens]

Chris,

AFAIK the importer does not import the accounts separately from the
transactions, it simply matches the quicken categories in the imported
transactions to internal GnuCash accounts. The Account tree import is only
for account trees exported from GnuCash in CSV format.  You could generate
the account tree in CSV from the exported quicken data by rearranging it in
a spreadsheet (Excel or LibreOffice ) in the format GnuCash uses to export
the Account tree and then import it. It may be easier to create the basic
structure in the account tab and then import transactions to that. Tthe
import account matching process has a new account button which will allow
you to create any necessary accounts on the fly from the import matcher
which means you could do the whole creation process in the matcher as well.
Which is quicker and easier will depend on the complexity of your account
structure. If your first import batch contains the majority of the accounts,
then the mapping should remain in place for subsequent imports.
