I think I may also have encountered that one when importing everything but I haven't investigated carefully yet. I've got 18 years worth of Quicken data and ideally I'd like to get it all imported correctly. :-) As a practical matter I will probably have to draw a line somewhere and start manually fixing only accounts that are still active - a somewhat more manageable job. But right now I am still playing the idealist. > Bill, if you feel like a walk on the wild side, you could test the > notes fix for bug 495219 It's much better for memo fields - thanks! I'd actually already read that bug report but hadn't tried the patch yet. > I'm guessing that you must be using 2.2.2, as the ContribX > transactions in your QIF file only became supported a few weeks ago. Right. I used your patch in 2.2.1 for some of my earlier attempts at importing and I'm pretty sure this happened in 2.2.1 as well. I updated to 2.2.2 before making the test file and emailing the list. > I don't have any ideas for an immediate workaround, but I'm willing to > dig through the QIF import code to see if I might be able to find (and > possibly fix) the bug. I'd be ever so grateful if you did manage to fix this. As I said, I have literally hundreds of these transactions. I did use Lisp in a class many many years ago but when I look at the code I get lost pretty quickly. I doubt it's just the lack of commenting. :-) Let me know if you do start looking at it and if there is anything I can do to help. - Bill _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
