[GNC] Import Transaction Matcher issue in v4

[jean laroche]

To get a match you have to have a transaction in the register that's 
sufficiently similar to the one you're importing, and that has not been 
imported/matched before.
In your case, it could be one of these reasons (I can't see the image):
- There's no matching transaction in your register (no existing 
transaction has amount close, and a date close to the imported one)
- There's a matching transaction but it's already been matched to an 
imported transaction at some point so it's not available to be matched 
to the new imported one.
- There's a matching transaction that's available, but the match score 
is below the threshold that allows the transaction to be shown as a 
potential match. Too large a date mismatch can cause that.

Can you check whether you're in one of these 3 cases? If you're in case 
3, you can lower the minimum matching threshold in the preferences and 
see if that helps.
