[GNC] Import question

[Carsten Hütter]

Hello Nicolas,

I'm on GnuCash 5.3 already. Here you can freely choose the currency
format in the import dialogue, i.e. the decimal separator can be changed
from comma to point or vice versa. So updating your GnuCash could be
very easy solution to your issue.

Greetings

Carsten
