[GNC] QFX Import in 4.8

[john]

Mike,

Yes, transfers between accounts when both splits are in the OFX import, such as a transfer between savings and checking or between an asset account and a credit card account when both are with the same bank.

Regards,
John Ralls

I can see how this change could cause the behavior we're seeing, but I'm not sure what it is trying to fix.  The comment says "Add code to handle ofx files that include transfers between accounts."  What does this mean?  Two accounts in the OFX file?  All transactions involve transfers between accounts.  Do you have any idea about how to fix the problem without breaking the original fix?
