Bug Description

Using Homebank 5.0.8 on Fedora 24

The QIF/OFX/etc. import feature is pretty nice, however my bank's descriptions of each operation/transaction show up in the "Memo" field in homebank, while I think it would make more sense for them to show up in "Info"; I reserve memo for things that are truly mnemotechnic, because the "Memo" field autocompletes in the transaction edit/add dialog.... So for all the "noise", I prefer to use the "Info" field instead.

Hmm, I looked at bug #916690 and bug #462919, and it seems the fix was to have options to:
- import or ignore Memo
- swap Memo/Payee

But in my case I wouldn't want to use/spam the payee field for that, I typically reserve the payee field for really important/recurrent people (or companies) I'm dealing with rather than everyday mundane insert-random-restaurant-or-shop-here; whatsmore, many businesses that accept credit cards have some sort of "branch" (succursale) name, so their name would vary from one street corner to the next... though if you prefer to make this an option instead of defaulting to "info", there could be a "Swap info and memo fields" option (but that sounds a bit overkill).
