Hi guys, I'm new to gnucash and this is my first post. I am not an accountant but I'm learning all about double entry and whatnot. It's really cool that GnuCash is open source. I'm very excited about it.
I have kept a record of my stuff in an Excel file and I've converted that stuff to QIF and imported it. Awesome! But then I realized that the account types were not what I expected. I saved off a bunch of my credit cards and they were assigned as "bank" type. Even though I made a Credit Card placeholder account and put all of them in there they're all still of "Bank" type. I've found that I can save the file as XML and open it with a text editor and find the <act:type> tag which, I believe, defines it. I'm wondering if there are any negative ramifications if I hack those values to be what I want them to be because it seems I'm unable to convert the types of accounts from within the GnuCash program.
