Bug Description

Since the update of the Import function my Homebank does not recognize the accounts in de QIF files anymore. I have to pick them manually from the accounts list.

The QIF has a the setting !Account as shown below.
!Account
NHuish rekening

The account text (excluding the needed prefix "N") is identical to the name of the account in Homebank.
The bug is in the new import screen called Unknown 1 which comes directly after the Import screen.

Except for this bug I do really like the new import function!
I'm running Homebank 5.2.1 on Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon 3.8.9.

It does with my test, I did again just now. Just load this file twice (with select new account on 3 accounts)

Can you provide the start of your file to test ?

Hello,

With your example file I found a fault(?) in my QIF file which I create myself with Python from original files from my bank.

Previously my file header was:
!Account
NHuish rekening
!Type:Bank
P...

With your example I changed it to:
!Account
NHuish rekening
TBank
^
!Type:Bank
P...

Maybe the previous version of Homebank was a bit less precise about the content of the QIF file.
I don't know the QIF file format enough to say what the best format is.

Case closed I guess. It is easier for me to change my script than to change the software.

Thanks for your attention. Keep up the good work! I like it!
