[GNC] Importing QIF files contain no transactions

[John Ralls]

No, there is no nightly build for macOS, but the change can be done by hand. With GnuCash not running, open a  Finder window and right (or control) click on the Gnucash application and select Show Package Contents, then navigate to Contents/Resources//share/guile/site/2.2/gnucash/qif-import.scm. Right click on that and select Open With, then TextEdit. Find line 437 and change
    (if (not (or (qif-xtn:mark xtn) (or (null? splits) (null? (cdr splits)))))
To
    (if (not (or (qif-xtn:mark xtn) (null? splits)))
Pay close attention to the parentheses! Save the file.

Regards,
John Ralls

>>> However, when I go through exactly the same process to import the same bunch of QIF files into the Windows program, the imported accounts show up but no transactions are imported so I just have a bunch of empty accounts.  What I have had to do is import the same QIF files into the Linux version on my wife's laptop, save the resulting main GnuCash data file, copy it over to my PC and load it into the Windows version of GnuCash.  From there, everything works as it should but why doesn't the import on the Windows version pull in any transactions?
>> QIF import is broken in 5.10. It’s fixed in git so you can either use a recent nightly build from https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/stable/ <https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win/stable/> or GnuCash 5.9.
