Hi Dave, yes, 1.5.5 will import your accounts and transaction just fine because it completely ignores transaction templates and scheduled transactions. 1.6.0 tries to import those and fails sometimes because GnuCash desktop does not use a standard format for the split amounts in transaction templat
