The QIF import did lazy account creation -- it would only touch your
actual account tree at the end, after you click "Finish". The Generic
Importer, however, will make account modifications enroute, including
creating new accounts.
For QIF, new accounts wont get properly mapped into the tree, so you
either need to pre-create the gnucash account and map it in the
importer, or you need to modify the QIF to read, e.g.:
LExpenses:Groceries
instead of:
LGroceries
to properly place it in the tree.
