David, thank you again! I was able to recover the missing account and ALL of my missing transactions! I just wanted to update for the community to have a record. Thanks to the article that David provided which points out that accounts are not part of log files, I was able to manipulate the data

Update! The problem is restricted to a malfunction with the date format in the 2.6.16 version. Specifically, the program will allow the user to proceed with import in the default format /MM/DD despite the CSV transaction dates being formatted as MM/DD/. This is what causes the program to

I've updated to 3.3 and recovered all but the missing invoices. In recreating the missing invoices the challenge is that duplicate receivable entries will be created as well. Does anyone have a method they would recommend to recreate invoices that will not throw off the receivable account? --

I was able to recover some data from a log file but an important account with many detailed splits was not recreated. I'm hoping that GnuCash has transactions for that account stored. At the time I replayed the log file the account was non-existent. My hope was that the replay would recreate

100 transactions is not what I'd consider massive. Nonetheless, I cannot understand why saving could not be done automatically or why the log file doesn't seem to contain all changes. I've tried to replay the log and it saved some but doesn't seem to restore all the transactions. I'm still missing

Agreed. OFX/QIF works perfect. My CSV import did not only freeze but crashed the program and caused me to lose a large amount of data. Hundreds of asset transactions plus one entire liability account as well as several dozens of invoices -- all gone. CSV import has huge problems, stay away from
