Automatic guessing of the account is on my feature list for the next
revision of the QIF importer. It will require a verification step
that can be shared with some other new features, and I'm planning to
do them all at once.
Just as a background excuse, the current version is mainly targeted at
people who are importing en masse from a set of Quicken books. In
that case, the category fields are there. Features like detection of
redundant information (importing transactions already in your gnucash
books) and auto-guessing of accounts are mainly useful for folks
importing QIF fragments downloaded from their banks. That's a very
important use of the QIF format, but it's not what the current
importer is good at. Hopefully that will change in the next few
weeks.
Thanks,
Bill Gribble
