Comment 7 for bug 1738816

The idea with the accounts is, to be remember the last selected (valid)
account.
At the moment the importer wants to create a new account for every
import, if I already have an `import` account I want to use that.
When I import frequently this is a bit of a hindrance, as I don't want
many new accounts, I just want it all in the `import` account.

A preselection in preferences, like;
( ) create new account on import
( ) use pre-existing account : [ accounts dropdown ]

would also be very acceptable. This would preselect the "account" option
on import still allowing last minute changes.

I hope that helps.

Regards,

klokkie
