[GNC] Importing data from QuickBooks Online

[Jean L]

This may be slightly off topic, or too late to help, but...

In github, there is a repository
https://github.com/tim-rohrer/move2gnucash
That seems pretty well setup to migrate your data from a quicken csv 
export to GC. I haven't used it, but I looked at it for a friend and it 
looked interesting.

>> Let's assume you are exporting data in CSV format, and using the current version of GnuCash (5.3), and importing using the File… Import… Import Transactions from CSV menu item. You should be directed through an import matcher. This is the place where GnuCash should assign accounts to balance each transaction. Is each transaction assigned to an account in the import matcher?
