wish: Support Paypal csv export

[Neil Musgrove]

Hi, Paypal supports export to QIF however this will only export USD transactions, this means a lot of the world will only see a small subset of transactions or none at all. They support various export formats including csv which includes all the transactions however these cannot be imported into HomeBank. Since Paypal is probably the most popular "bank" in the world it would be very useful if these csv files could be imported directly into HomeBank and show only the values converted to the local currency. Here is a script I found which achieves this which I intend to use for the time being but this is not something an average user would be able to use: http://blog.kdecherf.com/2013/12/18/import-paypal-transaction-history-in-homebank/

Thanks

I will thinks about this, as it's might duplicate the ability to create some csv import profile (#786280)

Perhaps in the future you could have a drop down with a preset list of
known csv layouts?
