Adrien, Even if it has been reconciled in another program I think you would want to check the reconciliation to make sure the importer had imported everything completely. The reconciliation process should be very quick if the import has been correct.
I think as Geert mentoins in another post, GnuCash data can be exported with the reconcilation status and in that case one might want to import the reconcilation status. Eg if shifting historical records to another book to keep the file size small for those who do that. The purpose of the U+R and R in the import matcher itself is really to indicate the satus of the match and AFAIK it doesn't even use the reconciled status information in a transaction in the matching process, at least in the code I have looked through so far. It was why I initially proposed U+M and M as an alternative to make clear that it really is the status of the match and nothing to do with the actual reconciliataion status of the transaction. Even using "U+C" and "C" in the importer could in principle lead new users to confusing the status of the match with the reconciliation status. In the case where the status of an imported transaction was reconciled, it may make some sense to override the "c" setting on import. But since reconciliation is about checking the data in the book it is being imported to, I personally would prefer that it be imported as cleared and then set to reconciled in a proper reconciliation process not the import process which might contain errors. Another option could be to have an option to either import or ignore the reconciliation status on import if it exists in the import as a future enhancement.
