Bug Description

Hello,
As I always did with previous versions, I'm trying to update account transations using small QIF file downloaded from my bank.
Unfortunatly, import doesn't work anymore :

Step one: File->Import->QIF File...
Step two : Qif file selected and recognized! OK
Step three : Click Next and I get "Une erreur générale est survenue, et le fichier ne peut être chargé"

I have tried with using other QIF files, but I always obtain the same error.

Best regards

Hello,
Thanks your quick answer. I didn't knew QIF files were plain text file...
I think the problem came for a specific transaction.
I have simplified the QIF file to keep only the failing transaction.
Best regards,

both the file loads perfectly under 5.0.0 (ubuntu or windows 7)
I also tried to load a qif file exported from bankperfect 7.5.3.364 (13/01/2014) and get no trouble at all.

this error " a general error, blabla...." occurs when HB fail to convert some dates in the file (which mean the date pattern is different at a point and lead to inconsustent date.

Comme vous etes français tous les 2, je finis ne french:
verifier dans les preferences: importer/exporter que vous etes bien en j-m-a et pas autre chose
A priori ca ne passe pas sinon

Ok. Vu.
Le changement de format de date dans les préférences a résolu le problème pour ma part.
Un message plus explicite serait peut-être utile.
Merci!
