That's not completely true.  The QIF importer stores raw account names,
so if you rename your accounts the old import-map will be "wrong".

Re: Removal of unnecessary listed Account names

Where are you seeing the multiple account names?  If you actually changed
the names in your chart of accounts, there should not be accounts with the
old names.  Similarly, in the OFX, QIF and CSV imports, you should not see
the old account names when matching transactions to existing.  You will
need to re-train the bayesian matching.

You filed a bug[1] on this and I answered there. In future please use one or 
the other.

Removal of unnecessary listed Account names

[Cliff Williams]

Gents

After a couple of weeks using GnuCash I made a mistake and renamed some 
of my accounts. In fact in most cases just changed the name from 
low-case to upper-case so that I could easily identify the headings. 
What's happened now is that when I import new data and begin to match 
the incoming sub accounts with mine in GnuCash I now have two sets of 
headings to sort through, one in upper-case the other in lower.  The 
issue also appears when manually inputting or changing a transaction; In 
my case the dropdown list in account shows, one name in upper-case the 
other in lower.

Is there a way of deleting all the lower case account headings to make 
the importing of data easier.  I do recognise that this is a short term 
issue as over time the accounts will automatically match the headings 
correctly but it is a bit of a pain at the moment.

I've not been able to find any related information in your support 
documentation.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Cliff Williams
