Hi GnuCash Developers, I just installed the latest version of GnuCash 2.1.5 for Windows and tried importing my Quicken 2002 Premier Home & Busness QIF file that includes multiple currency accounts. The QIF import wizard reported that GnuCash does not currently handle multiple currency QIF file imports and that this limitation should be removed soon. Does anyone have any idea about how soon multiple currency QIF imports will be available?
I really depend on that feature so I can switch over to GnuCash which as far as I have seen is the best accounting software available for accounting newbies like myself. I'm sure that there may be hundreds or maybe even thousands who are also waiting for this feature so they can switch over to GnuCash but when they see that it's not available they just move on without trying to contact the development team. So I'm asking on behalf of all those who chose to remain silent. I already emailed Bill Gribble who is listed in the credit list of GnuCash as the original developer of the QIF import but he responded at follows: > No, I'm sorry; I haven't worked on GnuCash in several years, and I don't > follow its development.

I tried his suggestion to export each account into a separate QIF files each having only one currency but after I imported them into GnuCash and imported the foreign currency account separately and specified the currency of that account the resulting numbers in GnuCash were not what they were supposed be maybe because of transfers between the foreign currency account and the other accounts. Anyway, please let us know who is currently maintaining the QIF import code and how soon multiple currency QIF imports will be available. Thanks and we are looking forward to hearing from you soon.
