Hello everybody, I'm looking for a way to start the csv export via terminal command. Are there solutions to work around the GUI? Or is it possible to convert all accounts and bookings directly from a .gnucash file to a .csv file per terminal? Thanks in advance -- Sent from:

If you are in a mood to experiment you could try exporting as qif a limited date range of a month or so from the bank account in Quicken that should match the account you have already set up in Gnucash both with and without the account tree. Then try importing both. That might at least get all
