Bug Description

When I need to import several QIF/QFX files into Homebank, doing so is very slow because the dialog has no memory. It fails to open the dialog in the most recently used directory, and I can only import the files one at a time.

When I open the import dialog, it should start in the directory from which I last imported a file. Secondly, I should be able to select multiple files and import all of them at once.

I'd love to start using homebank, but I have dozens of statements to import to get started, and doing them one at time just is not realistic as it would take a long time. This seems like an essential feature to get people started with HomeBank.

I often download all my different transactions from my institutions as QFX files

Having a check box or another button at the end of the import wizard that says "Import Another" and then takes you back to the file selection screen would be great, Save my from having to go to File-->import-->OFX/QFX... file over and over again.

Even having an import toolbar button for each type of file that you can add would be great. Or mapping shortcut keys for import.

A smaller request is that I would like to be able to double click the file I want to import as opposed to selecting and pressing Next.

Otherwise it is a fantastic product.
Thanks!
