[GNC] Training the classifier of imported transactions in GnuCash

[Adrien Monteleone]

Correcting *after* the import doesn’t teach the matcher anything.

You have to re-assign the incorrect matches as part of the import process.

I import large quantities of credit card transactions, and while many of them are assigned to the correct accounts, a very large number of repeat transactions (i.e. from the same vendor) are either repeatedly assigned to the same wrong category or simply left as “Imbalance-USD”.  I have not been able to identify a way to correct them while they are still displayed in the initial import window, although I suspect that would be the time to correct them.  I go through and manually correct them in the register after importing them, but this does not seem to help future classification accuracy.
