>>What I need to understand is your initial use case, or workflow you try to design
The behavior I'm trying to reproduce: when I import a QIF, all imported transactions go into a "queue" - a list where I can accept/resolve them one at a time. I essentially use it like a ToDo list, where every time new transactions are imported, they automatically go into that list. Some items I can just resolve right away (aka they get removed from that list), some may stay there for a while, reminding me to come back & deal with them. To me, that sounded exactly like the purpose of "remind" - the only difference being that I'd like each newly imported transaction to automatically appear in that list, to remind me to review it until I've had a chance to do so.
In Quicken, this behavior is enabled by unchecking Preferences->Downloaded Transactions->Automatically add to xx registers. In their case, the transactions don't actually get added to the register until you "accept" them, but that's not actually important to my - the goal is simply to have all new transactions appear in a list so that they can be reviewed, or left in that list as a reminder to review them later.
>>Indeed, you use the Remind status out of what is was designed for.
Isn't that exactly what Remind was designed for? To have a place to put transactions that you'd like to be reminded to review/check/handle? :)
