That's a good trick. Perhaps it would work just as well on this new empty file.

If I want to do a bulk import, and I'm afraid I may need to back it out, I just closed the file, reopen, and do my input. If you don't like what you got, and it's complex to delete, just roll back one version.
This assumes that you are not using the SQL back end. I'm not sure how that
would work.

I just set up a completely new books using 'exports accounts' from a previous.
So it was empty of transactions.
Then I imported a few hundred transactions from a bank statement via a .csv
file.And they are all wrong.The system did not offer me an 'amount' column but
only 'increase' or 'decrease' and I picked the wrong one.Best advice i can find
anywhere on how to reverse that is to select and delete many transactions at
once via selecting many.
the trouble is i cannot find a way to 'bulk select'. I can only ever select
one transaction.
Fortunately this is entirely new, as I say, so I could start again.
A bit of a nuisance, though. I had to manually enter all the 'target accounts'
for the system didn't recognise them. So I am thinking if I can empty this
current one then a re import the right way round this time and i won't have to
re-enter all those account associations.
