[GNC] Importing buying shares transactions

[One Click To Qif]

Hi David:

I had version 2.6.14 installed and I installed 3.4.
However, it is obvious that this functionality does not work: GnuCash
cannot import transactions of shares, not even in the format exported
by itself.
I will have to manually introduce them.
Very disappointing.

Thanks for your answer in any case.
Regards
