I don't pay enough attention. I saw the original, but quickly assume
it was on this list, not the documentation list.
Would a reasonable summary be that when converting from Quicken, you
can set up multiple accounts quickly by doing a quicken export of just
the account list, then importing that QIF file into KMM, and that this
can be useful if you need to alter the currency of one of the accounts
before actually importing or entering any data? I can add that to the
handbook section on importing from Quicken.

I'm using KMyMoney v4.7.2 on Win 10 64bit desktop PC
I have found that multiple accounts could be created in KMM by
importing
a QIF file created by Quicken - Export - QIF - Account List (only box
checked).
The QIF file created by Quicken was of the form
!Option:AutoSwitch
!Account
N(name of bank - string - no quotes)
T(account type - string - no quotes - ex Bank, CCard, Cash, OthA,
OthL,
Port (for a brokerage account) etc. List not complete.
^
.
.
etc
.
.
Example QIF file used for test of file system setup in KMM
!Option:AutoSwitch
!Account
NBankChk2USD
TBank
^
NBankSav1
TBank
^
NBankCCard1
TCCard
L0.00
^
NBankCash1
TCash
^
NHomeAsset1
TOth A
^
NInvBrokerage
TPort
^
!Clear:AutoSwitch
I found this feature very useful since immediately after the files
were
created, I was able to modify the currency of "BankChk2USD" account
from
my base currency to USD. Normally KMM does note allow modifying this
setting so dealing with multiple currency accounts would have been a
pain if transitioning from Quicken.
Hope this is of use.

PS - I am a Quicken 2001 user messing around with KMM as my Quicken is
getting old and creaky.
