Bug Description

OS: Linux Mint 20.1 64 bit
HomeBank version: 5.5
GTK version: GTK+ 3.24.20
--------------------------

There something wrong with QIF import/export.

Try this:

* Create a new file.
* Create 2 Bank accounts, named Account_1 and Account_2.
* Open Account_1 and create a reconciled transfer of 100 EUR from Account_1 to Account_2.
* Close Account_1's window.
* Now we have the following total amounts (Maybe you'll see a glitch in the totals report):
  * Account_1 = -100,00 EUR
  * Account_2 = +100,00 EUR
* Do "File" -> "Export as QIF" and save the file somewhere.
* Delete all the transactions in Accont_1 and Account_2.
* Import the QIF file you just exported, without changing anything in the import wizard.
* Now the totals are the following:
  * Account_1 = -200,00 EUR
  * Account_2 = +200,00 EUR

I don't know if I'm missing something but it's as if HomeBank exports transactions following a double entry logic but afterwards imports them as single entry.

=> indeed it seems the export is wrong for xfer with multiple account

Maybe you'll see a glitch in the totals report:

after an export test from quicken, the problem is as I expected:
the export is wrong for xfer with multiple account, as it export a line for xfer from src & dst account and should only from src account

summary: - Importing a QIF file doubles imported transactions amounts
+ qif export of multiple account double xfer line
