I'm trying to import a QIF file from Quicken 2016 to GnuCash 5.8 on a
Windows 11 system.  It's a 14 MB QIF file with over 30 years of data.
At the first step of the Import process, there are 56 issues reported,
all the same: "Could not parse price line".  But I just click Next to
continue and go on to the next step.  I go thru all the remaining
steps of the Import process basically just accepting all the default
account name mappings.  For the selected currency, I'm using USD (US
Dollar).  At the step for Tradable Commodities, GnuCash appears to
have already filled in all the fields (Name, Ticker, Exchange); so at
that step I just click Next to continue.  And at that point, I click
the Start Import button to continue.  Then the actual Import process
begins.  In the first few minutes, the progress bar gets to around 10%
of the way across the window.  Then things slow down dramatically.

Over the next 2 to 3 hours the progress bar eventually gets to around
maybe 20% of the way across the window.  I'm not sure how far the
progress bar actually gets; since I've never been sitting in front of
the screen the whole time to see how far it does get.  But when I come
back to the computer to check on it, the GnuCash window has closed,
with no status or error message on the screen.  And when I go and
check to see if a .gnucash file was created, there is a file sitting
there.  But it's extremely small -- just 3 KB in size.  And that's
clearly a problem; since the original QIF file is 14 MB.

I'm a brand new user with GnuCash.  This is the first time I'm really
trying to use it.  And I've tried this Import process now 3 times --
all with the same result.  So if anyone out there has some idea what's
going on, I'd appreciate any help or suggestions you could provide.
