Re: [GNC] CSV matching produces duplicates?

2021-03-25 Thread David Cousens
Not sure that the developers could make that suggestion work. It is much harder to find records which have been imported to the wrong account after the fact than it is to identify the correct account the first time it is imported at the time it is imported. The account names as specified in a

Yes, this topic broke off the original thread, something to do with me replying from email. A chart of accounts imports easily, as expected with no issues or nagging. For csv transactions GnuCash pretty well prompts with the correct account each time, so set to accept all prompts. There is no

Curious, if you fix them afterwards, outside of the matcher, how do you expect the matcher to learn what you have done? The place to correct the matcher is in the matcher. Anything outside of that, the matcher has no cognizance of. Or am I misunderstanding the request? Regards, Adrien On

Thanks both, I have it sorted more or less, it remains to tidy up the various versions of the files that are in different locations on the PC. I used Revo Uninstaller Pro to uninstall the 'active' version, Revo is what I have used over the years to get rid of files which, inadvertently
