because, I think: OFX imports match via complex heuristics(*) OFX imports have a FITID field which is stored in a transaction split's invisible "online_id" property. QIF imports don't have a similar field, so, the matching is actually done manually during every import, and is imperfect(**) (*) matching tests: amounts match, make some allowances for ATM fee threshold, dates differ by ideally 4 days but consider up to 2 weeks. (**) matching is successful when: amounts matched, dates differ by 1 week or less. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
