Yep, that's my plan. Quicken has a bulk-edit feature that I'll make good

Alternatively, Cricket, instead of exporting from Quicken, then arranging

you could make a copy of your Quicken working file and from within Quicken,
arrange things as you like with a mind toward exporting to GnuCash, then

David,
I think a couple of additional points of reference from you would be helpful.
What operating system are you experiencing this slow performance? I believe
it’s WIndows, but I could be mistaken. The relative performance benchmarks seem
to be OS-dependent. I am using MacOS, and while some

Somewhere I saw that most people find QIF works better, and that QIF is
similar to CSV. If my version of Quicken won't export to QIF, I'll try CSV.
There are too many variations of CSV for me to trust it entirely.
I might make one huge QIF, import it and save as GC, then make another QIF

Cricket,
One more point...
Strongly consider only moving one or two years data to GnuCash. When your
file gets large you may prefer to have a new file for each year or whatever
to keep GnuCash from bogging down and running too slow. It gets worse
quickly if you leave a lot of reports and regist

That page gave me nightmares when I first read it two years ago. I ran a

It looks like I should anticipate problems with the matcher for transfers

Sounds like a daunting task. I don’t do such imports, but reading the various

Cricket Onebit,
I would suggest running an extended test possibly by importing one or two
month's data into GnuCash then running both GnuCash and Quicken in parallel
for a couple of months. It is easy to start over if you decide to do it a
different way.
