Note: as a dev I have (and probably many before me) tried to look at
what it would take allow selecting multiple transactions at the same
time and then do an operation. Sadly, there's no quick fix to GC that
could make this happen, it's a large re-write apparently. One dev looked
(is looking?) into changing the main register code to allow
multi-transaction edits (among other things) but I haven't heard of any
recent progress...

Yeah, they will be, once I get enough useful data in there that I
don't keep starting over from scratch. Since I sent out the
original email, I've realized that it's any kind of bulk editing
that will require this, and turns out, apparently I really like to
change multiple things at once. I'll give it a try and see if it's
worth it.
Oh. Starting over from scratch? Just train the importer (you will
have to do that anyway over time). Don't let them go to the
imbalance account in the first place.
If importing a CSV file, create an extra column that you call the
transfer account (or something like that) and put your own strings in
there for the different accounts. During the import GnC will ask you
for the real account name for each of those strings. It will ask
only once per string rather than each time it encounters that same
string (as would be done if matching on something else).
Yeah, I'm still in the "evaluate whether this is going to work for me
long-term" phase, so reimporting isn't TOO painful. I will try to put
what you've suggested here into action, though I'm currently puzzling
a little about how to with an OFX source instead of CSV - it did ask
me the real account name, but apparently only for one side of each
transaction? I'll dig.
Thanks for your help,
