[GNC] Import is finding no matching transactions

[Greg Feneis]

Another possibility is if you happen to be trying to import transactions
that GnuCash thinks have already been imported, the matcher dialogue may
appear like there are no transactions being proposed to be imported,
essentially there will be nothing displayed in the matcher dialogue. Just
in case this is what you're seeing.  This according to how GnuCash 3.21
works.  Maybe newer GnuCash still works the same?

Kind regards, Greg Feneis
