[GNC] QIF file import still doesn't work with Gnucash 3.10

[Alan]

Took the latest activity on one Chase credit card account and downloaded in QIF
format. Each time, Gnucash went through the motions, but never prompted for a
target account. Then (for only 7 transactions), took a few minutes and then
brought up a screen attempting to match thousands of 10 year old transactions,
which appear to be earlier failed QIF import attempts.

 

But none of the NEW transactions (imported three times now) were read. And a
transaction matching screen is totally wrong. These are new transactions so
there's NOTHING to match. Same thing with the previous failed import attempts.
No transactions to match.

 

This is probably why Gnucash blew the QIF import from Quicken the first few
times (was also broken in 3.08). Quicken's QIF export went nowhere. Thousands
more transactions ignored, since Gnucash is not looking for any target account,
and there could never be anything to "match." This makes it impossible to import
previously audited, corrected, and reconciled transactions from Quicken.
