Please describe the problem: First time user, new account, new everything. File->Import->ImportQif... -File selected -Click on next... and I get the message: An error occured while opening the QIF file Steps to reproduce: 1. File->Import->ImportQif... 2. Select a file 3. And click on next... Actual results: and error occurs Expected results: and error to occur Does this happen every time? Yes, every time Other information: Screenshot: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1176/600002761_34914315d2_o.jpg Sample.qif: !Type:Bank D06/21/2007 T-75.00 MCHEQUE CLEARING - DEBIT;CHEQUE CLEARING - DEBIT #3; ^ D06/21/2007 T-27.23 MPOS MERCHANDISE;CAFE ORIENT/103; ^ D06/22/2007 T-21.33 MPOS MERCHANDISE;SEARS CANADA #1; ^ D06/22/2007 T-360.63 MPOS MERCHANDISE;SEARS CANADA #1; ^ Also, I have tried to get around the problem by using QFX files but no success! I get a "transaction-association" window with nothing in it. when I click on OK, nothing happens.. I have a screenshot of this as well: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1092/600026859_a3954eab18_o.jpg
Oh, and I'm using Windows XP proffesional..
Is this the whole QIF file? Have you verified that trying to import just this snippet causes the problem? It works for me (although it does "die" at the end of the import, but that's a different issue).
This is the whole file. actually, its a snippet of my month's transactions but it's the original download from my institution's website. I have tried with this file, and it does reproduce what I claim.
Could you please try to move your qif file to a path without accents? I suppose the qif importer still does not grok them.

I have the same problem (GnuCash 2.1.5 - Windows) when importing OFX files which are in a folder that contains non-ascii characters. No errors are raised, but only an empty list in "Generic import transaction matcher" window.

Unfortunately, it is not related to this bug :(
Fix committed as r17062. Requesting backport for 2.2.
Applied to branches/2.2 as r17103 for GnuCash 2.2.5. Thanks a dozen!
