[GNC] Error importing QIF file

[David H]

I seem to recall that the importer underwent significant improvements in
version 4.x as it was somewhat lacking prior to that?  I would suggest
updating to the latest version of Gnucash if at all possible.  It looks
like 2.6.19 was released Feb 2018 and 3.10 in April 2020 and a lot of
development work has occurred since then.

Also the OS you are using may be relevant so mention that and the format
are you saving your Gnucash file in - XML / SQL ?

Should be a log file/trace file somewhere with more details in it I would
have thought - location may be OS dependent hence the previous comment.
Start by checking the folder where your GnuCash data file is located - look
for files named similar to the following with the date and time as part of
the file name - <Gnucash Data File Name>.gnucash.20210926082017.log - these
can be opened with a text editor and checked.  See if there's anything
meaningful in the latest log file / trace file for when the import failed.
Assuming Win 10 trace files should be in the C:\Users\<your user
name>\AppData\Local\Temp folder - e.g. gnucash.trace.7XB4V1.log and are
more likely to have something meaningful in them.
