Ok agreed. There'd need to be a mechanism to skip individual split import as well. On Thu, 7 May 2020, 8:17 am Derek Atkins, wrote: > What if there are no matches? > Then the LHS won't be empty. > > -derek > Sent using my mobile device. Please excuse any typos. > On May 6, 2020 8:09:03 PM

Are you discussing qif or ofx. The main difficulty is qif code written 20 years ago and has not modernised. The multi to multi issue will always be very difficult, hence I'd previously imagined a two pane register, qif/ofx on left, existing register on right, and drag and drop to marry up the

Overall, yes. But this case presents a many-to-many sorting out vs. the one-to-many resolution in QIF. And none of those unique IDs exist in the gnucash file until the transactions have finished being imported. -- Dave Reiser dbrei...@icloud.com > On May 6, 2020, at 2:50 PM, Jean Laroche

I have run into this issue as well! Thanks for looking into it. I'll try to fix it. What should really be done here, I'm guessing is that the matcher should not match several transactions to the same one. This may not be super easy to fix, but I'll take a look. Jean On 5/6/20 11:00 AM, David
