GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 105932
Document better how to create a new account for the QIF category
Last modified: 2018-06-29 20:28:20 UTC
In the tab "match qif categories with gnucash accounts" there's a little problem: if a gnucash account name isn't correct, and I click on it to change the account, it isn't clear how to specify a new account. After a lot of reasoning I could learn that I should de-select every account and write the new account name. But the thing isn't clear, and it is better to specify it in a more proper way.
I dont understand the problem. If the account name the importer chose was incorrect, you click on the line, it pops up an account chooser, and you can either select and account from there or create a new one. I don't understand what the problem is. Could you give a better, more descriptive example?
The fact is that, in the account chooser that pops up clicking in a line, it isn't clear how to create a new account. It should be specified better, because it couldn't be clear that you must unselect the selected account in order to create a new account.
You don't have to unselect an account to make a new account. You have to unselect an account to make a new TOP LEVEL account.
This hasn't been touched in over a year. Does it need more info?
Seems to me that donpaolo suggest that the documentation of how to create a new account for the QIF category should be improved.
Nearly four years later... the documentation still doesn't cover this. If this is a documentation issue, shouldn't it be reassigned to the Documentation component? Or, if the dialog itself needs to be redesigned to be simpler to use, I'm open to suggestions.
