[GNC] Gnucash doesn't load American Express QFX files

[Jim Leek]

I just tried to download from AmericanExpress again.  I still have the same
problem.  I'm just clicking the little download icon next to my activity on
the "Statements and Activity" page.  Maybe there's another method?

With GnuCash 3.6 I was able to import from CSV.  That's a hassle, but the
import page is much better than was on Gnucash 2.6, so kudos to whoever
made that.
