Re: [GNC-dev] QIF Import Suggestion
Alan Bugzilla (https://bugs.gnucash.org/) is just a web interface for filing information about a bug and is meant for users to report problems to the developers. You don't really know how to administer it and set it up to file a bug, but you do need to be a registered user on Bugzilla to file a bug (to reduce nuisance and prank filings etc). If you click the File a Bug button on the web page at the above link, it will take you to a login page which has a link to an account creation page if you are not already signed up. It is basically a form for entry to a database to fill out identifying which version of GnuCash and on what OS the problem occurred and what the problem is. Most of it is selecting options from dropdown menus and you can just copy your post in the User forum and paste it into the descriptionfield in the Bugzilla form. It is the primary interface developers work from in fixing GnuCash problems as bugs are addressed in a priority order depending on how severely they affect GnuCash operation. The developers are largely volunteers, often hard pushed for time so if things don't go into the system, there is little likelihood they will be fixed.

Re: [GNC-dev] QIF Import Suggestion
Dear Geert Janssens, I am a user, not an engineer or expert in developing applications. I have never heard of Bugzilla so I read the information that you linked. Unfortunately, it is Greek to me. I understand no more about Bugzilla today than I did yesterday. As I user, I figured out a workaround (it took many hours) when the QIF import kept failing. I am glad I was able to make it work for me. I shared the experience on the mailing list-also a new concept to me-so that others that run into the same failure can understand it. I cannot fix the problem in the application. I do not understand how to use Bugzilla. I have done my best to bring the issue to the attention of the people who (I thought) can address it for others (I have no plans to run any more imports). If it is not sufficient, all I can say is that I did the best I know how.

[GNC-dev] QIF Import Suggestion
Importing data from Quicken 2000 Home & Business revealed a bug after many unsuccessful attempts. I found that if a split transaction has any blank lines before the first line with data, the import will fail. I eventually located all the records with blank lines in the splits, moved the actual data to those blank lines, reran the import and completed it successfully. Now that I have resolved the issue for myself, there is nothing that I need, but I thought that the information would be useful for others and/or for development. I am very pleased with the application after just a few days. Thank you.
