Re: Gnucash freezes while loading data

2018-01-21 Thread Paul Konnersman 
Thanks Jeffery, I'll save that sight for future reference.

It turned out that all I needed was a quick search and replace (replace "/"
in the date field with "-") and everything then went smoothly.

Paul:

I can not speak for the OS you are running, GnuCash may look a little 
different.  As will your Quicken program.  I am still running Windoze.

My version (2014), of quicken, will not export to .csv, only .qif and 
.qfx.  I would recommend exporting to .qif instead.  The qif exported 
file will allow for multiple split transactions, I do not know about the 
csv export.  If I remember correctly I exported all of my quicken data 
in one shot and imported it.

Sometimes GnuCash has to "chew" on an import for a while.  I frequently 
get a message in the top title bar that Gnucash is "not responding".  
Wait a few minutes and see if it finishes.  I gave up on .csv imports 
because I could never assign the right fields. All I use is .qif and .ofx.

If csv is your only choice, try loading one of your csv files into a 
spreadsheet program, it makes it easier to see the layout. If it is a 
layout problem the spreadsheet program will complain. Then look for 
inconsistency's  in the data fields.

If that doesn't work then you will have to look at your csv file the 
hard way, with a text editor.

I put the file in a word processor and changed all of the dates from

Thank you for the suggestions David T.

Each of the files that I have been trying to import contains three weeks of
transactions from one bank account. They are all between 1kb and 3kb.

Those don’t sound like large files, so it sounds like there might be something 
wrong. Do they ALL hang, or only some of them? 

I will admit that I am not one to advise on importing, as I don’t do it much. 
That being said, I would take a close look at the source files—especially the 
date fields, as GnuCash can be somewhat finicky around variably-formed dates.

Not sure how you know it is 'frozen' after such a short time.  GnuCash does
not have any 'activity' indicator. Try giving it several minutes.
