GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 305974
qif export
Last modified: 2018-06-29 20:52:28 UTC
Would very much like to see a qif export file for gnu cash. Would like to run program and be able to give a data, a qif file to those that use Windows Quicken.
Thanks for proposing this feature. There is some information about exporting possibilities on http://gnomesupport.org/wiki/index.php/GnuCashFaq#Q:_How_can_I_export_data.3F However, there will surely not be any export to the QIF format because that data format is absolutely deprecated and bad. Therefore I'll close this enhancement request.
Don't know about qif format being "is absolutely deprecated and bad," your words. Sure are a lot of folks that use it...more than gnucash? Sounds like sour grapes? I want the export function so I can use gnucash and give the files to others who use Quicken products. Looks like I'll have to go else where?
I don't necessarily think this deserved to be closed as WONTFIX, because there's certainly some reason to export to QIF.. I doubt this will happen anytime soon, however. But in the interin you can look at the gnucash to qif conversion tool at http://gnucashtoqif.sf.net/
Moving from Business -> General.
+1 on this. now that ms money is no longer in development many users will try gnucash and will want to make sure that if they dont like it they should be able to export it otherwise they wont use gnucash at all.
Thank you for taking the time to explain your enhancement request. The described enhancement is a good proposal and would be an advantage for the software. However, as a volunteer-driven project with limited resources, the GnuCash developers have to set priorities on which features are most likely being worked on in the near future. In that sense, the current GnuCash developers decided not to work on your proposed feature in the next 4-6 months. In case you would like to have this feature implemented in any case, you have the following option: 1. Start to program in gnucash yourself - see http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Development . 2. Convince someone who is not yet part of the GnuCash team to join the team and implement your feature. 3. Pay some of the GnuCash developers to implement your feature - ask on the mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org in that case. Thank you very much. Feel free to file other bugs or enhancement requests that you find, though.
