David & Geert, Thanks for the explanation! While I haven’t had the need (yet) to use the importer, I agree that U+M/M would be more clear. Regards, Adrien > On Aug 7, 2019, at 7:01 AM, David Cousens wrote: > > Adrien, > > Even if it has been reconciled in another program I think you would

Adrien, Even if it has been reconciled in another program I think you would want to check the reconciliation to make sure the importer had imported everything completely. The reconciliation process should be very quick if the import has been correct. I think as Geert mentoins in another post,

Building on Christopher's comment, my experience was that if a transaction to be imported has the flag set, Gnucash imports that value. I'm not sure the exact mechanics or heuristics (and it was a long time ago that I migrated to Gnucash), but I know I didn't have to reconcile my imported

Just curious here, So, if a user has years (decades even) of historical transactions that have already long ago been officially reconciled, the GnuCash importer does not offer the option of importing this historical data as reconciled but only ‘cleared’? Thus, someone coming to GnuCash and

Michael, I also agree that marking transactions as "R" when reconciled would be clearer, however it is not a part of what I propose for these specific changes at this time. The importer code is relatively isolated from the core GnuCash functionality and changes there are unlikely to have a

I am fine with baby steps before GnuCash is ready for true database access. Let's remove the word reconciliation from the import process. David Carlson On Tue, Aug 6, 2019, 11:31 AM David T. via gnucash-user < gnucash-user@gnucash.org> wrote: > Indeed. I ask myself, "which character do I see

Indeed. I ask myself, "which character do I see after invoking this option?" It isn't "R"--it is "C." Furthermore, the imported transaction isn't "Reconciled," it is "Cleared." You still have to reconcile it. As for changing the Reconcile value to "R," well, that goes a little further down

Not an opinion on the reconciliation controls, but if the matcher module is getting some love, would be neat™ if either the record description, or memo (or both) could be edited while the pending records are displayed on the matcher window. When I get home, I'll search for the appropriate

I have raised bugs in the code(https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797338) and documentation (https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797337) proposing changing the "U+R" and "R" tags in the import main matcher to "U+C" and "C" where the curent use of R refers to the term reconciliation.
