Bug Description

Example:

Monitor folder /home/myUser/Dropbox/finances for QIF files and automatically import to account "Current Account".

This would be useful for Android users to quickly import transactions and to speed up people importing transactions from online banking.

I will study this, as the import process sometimes requires the user to check or validate some stuff, so I need to rework the workflow.

Yeah that sounds a sensible option. that or make it configurable and let the user chose to move or delete it after import.
