David - thanks for your input. Regarding chunking the imports, that's
exactly what I'm doing and am making some progress. My primary struggle
right now is that GNUCash doesn't appear to be creating a debug file.
I understand c:\ is a bad location for a user file but I wanted a
location with minimum folders involved to ensure I was looking in the
right place.
Any suggestions on why the below commands are not creating a debug file
appreciated:
gnucash.exe --debug --tofile="c:\gnucash.log"
gnucash.exe --debug
as I understand the last command line should create a default tracefile
but I don't see it either.
Thanks

First, in Windows 10 (or any OS, for that matter) c:\ is a bad choice
for user file location. Try directing your error file to your desktop.
Second, hopefully you have put your data file in a folder under your
documents or some other user location.
Third, if you have read other user suggestions about importing from
Quicken, start with tiny chunks of transactions to see how it goes.
Fourth, in some cases it is easier to edit transactions in Quicken
before exporting.
Fifth, consider only importing a short segment of recent history and
leave old history in Quicken.
Sixth, back up everything first and test with disposable copies of files.
Seventh, if you still have specific questions, ask here giving all
details except personal information.
Good luck

Hi All,
I am trying to move from quicken to gnucash and have had mixed
results
with importing qif files from quicklen. I've been able to isolate a
couple of causes of import failures by trial and error exclusion of
specific items but it appears I have several failures to deal with
and
no messages to indicate the cause. I tried starting gnucash with
--debug --logto="c:\gnucash.log" it appears gnucash is recognizing
the debug command as it takes longer to start but I'm not seeing
any log
or trace file created. I've also tried leaving out the logto
command and
letting gnucash create a default file but cannot locate that either.
I've looked in AppData\Local\Temp and found no new files.
Any suggestions appreciated. I feel like I'm close but with several
years of data, I need something to assist me me excluding the items
causing import failure.
Thank you
