[GNC] Importing Multiple Accounts in a single OFX/QFX file

[Chris Good]

Hi,

 

Re https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105334#c13

               import multiple account OFX files with transfers between the
accounts, duplicate transactions are generated

 

The problem is that when you import OFX transactions for 2 bank accounts
from the same file, if there is a transfer

between the 2 bank accounts, the 'Generic transaction matcher' window does
not detect that the transaction in the 

transactions for the 2nd bank account is a duplicate and defaults to wanting
to add it (a duplicate transaction) when 

it should default to matching it against the first transaction. This is
because the first transaction has not yet been 

stored in the GnuCash datafile.

 

A suggestion solution to this problem is to match and store each account's
transactions 1 at a time, rather than 

putting all transactions in the ofx file in the matcher window at the same
time.

 

I'm wondering if this would be unacceptable to some people?

 

By the way, I didn't realise you could select multiple .ofx files at once in
the OFX import. Some people may find that useful.

It seems they have to be in the same directory.
