[GNC] GnuCash with Interactive Brokers

[Jonathan Knepher]

I export a report from IB in QFX format* either when I have transactions 
or at the end of each month, and import it on GnuCash.  It almost works 
perfectly, occasionally I have to fixup the account references for 
dividends.  IB automatically provides reasonable non-conflicting 
filenames for the QFX exports too. (AcctNum_StartDate_EndDate.qfx)   It 
has been a while since I had multi-currency transactions, but I don't 
remember it being an issue.

I used to have IB autogenerate and email the reports to me - they would 
come as CSV, but dealing with duplicated transaction lines in that 
method was more tedious than using the QFX method.
