Then edit the CSV for the proper Descriptions & Accounts before
importing. More than likely, that can be scripted or at least
accomplished with some creative copy/paste (or spreadsheet
formulas/macros) to speed things up if the file is really large.
*Note! - it is always advised to import smaller batches repeatedly to
train the importer. Trying to import say, 10 years worth of data, is
going to be a pain. The time savings of the importer learning your
transactions comes from repeated importing. (teaching it what it guesses
wrong as you go)
The usual advice is one month at a time, but I'd say that depends on
account activity. Be your own judge of how many transactions you want to
train the importer with at a time. Probably something like 100
transactions would be a reasonable 'top-limit' though that may be a bit
high depending on your stamina and pain threshold for repetitive work.

Adrien

@Gyle,
The suggested approach may work well when entering the transactions manually
and then reconciling.
However, I am not entering the transactions manually. I am importing all the
bank transactions, including the transfers, from several CSV files to an
empty GnuCash file.
