Chris, yes, I do regularly download OFX files from my bank that include transactions from several checking and saving accounts in one file. It happens that often there are transfers between accounts, and usually there are already existing transactions in GnuCash as I planned the transfers earlier to prepare for tax payments or whatever. The transfer transactions appear as duplicates in the files and each has separate memo text that differs depending on whether the transaction is the 'From' transaction or the transaction is the 'To' transaction.
Because there are existing transactions to match to, it would be possible during the import process to avoid resulting duplicate entries by judicious matching, but it happens that I want to retain memo text from both sides in the split lines, so I deliberately treat both sides as new and manually merge them as a post import operation. If it were possible to merge them during the import and retain the split memos from both sides it would simplify my work flow. . I would definitely miss the multiple account import feature if it were lost.
