[GNC] Import bug? no account matching options

[David Carlson]

I am confused about Account ID vs Transaction ID as used in this thread.
They are not the same, and transaction ID would not be used for account ID
purposes anyway.  I have Chase OFX files that have Account ID's but no
transaction ID's that, so far, have imported fine for me, except I never
noticed that some transactions should be missing from imports with
overlapping date ranges because I never download overlapping files.  Yes,
transaction ID's should be present, but GnuCash doesn't crash if they are
missing from OFX files, at least in older 2.6.x releases.

For QIF files, is the problem with the source account ID which only appears
at the beginning of the transaction list or with the 'transfer' account in
each transaction?  I think account ID is optional in QIF files.
