[GNC] how to import a csv of transactions?

[D.]

I would also wonder at Arman's comment "getting transactions out of one gnucash file and into another."

What exactly are you trying to do, Arman? It sounds like you believe you need to export your old data into the new version. This is not necessary; gnucash can read the existing data file. 

If you're trying something else, I apologize. If you share your goal with the list, perhaps a clearer path will appear.

Hi Arman

Yes, this *definitely* works with v4.4 on Windows.  I haven't tried v4.6 
yet, but I'd be surprised if it was broken.

See the fifth post in this thread which includes screenshots and a 
sample CSV file:

Good luck!

Geoff
