Re: [GNC-dev] Import Documentation
Frank David Cousins and I have similar names. I believe he signs his messages David Cousins. I normally sign my messages David C as I was unaware that he had a similar signature when I started sending messages on this maillist. -David Carlson David C On Fri, Sep 7, 2018 at 7:07 PM Frank H.

Re: [GNC-dev] Import Documentation
Hi David C. There was a chapter. it was accidently removed instead of moved a few years ago. I can try to get it back.

[GNC-dev] Import Documentation
Hi I recently made some changes to the import matcher to allow multiple selection of rows and assign a destination account to, all rows in the selection. I wanted to document this in the DOcs but could not find any documentation on the Importing of files at all, either in the Help Manual or the Turoial and Concepts guide. The Help manual selection on Transactions has a number of stubs for online importing. I would propose a similar section on which addressed either before or after the stub on online importing: Importing from Files Importing from OFX/QFX Importing from QIF Importing from CSV Is anyone currently working on documentation of impoorting from files? If so I am happy to contribute changes as above. If not I would be willing to have a go at a first pass at producing some documentation. Is my choice of location sensible and consistent with the overall documentation objectives?
