Topic: 2.3.1 beta problems

First of all, I used a CSV file with ; as field delimiters.

Editing templates creates a new template, with the first import I got an error message for template 1, understandable since I had not set up a proper template yet. So I decided to change the template 1. After saving the changes I still got an error. Quickly I saw that at the bottom of the templates list there was a new template 1. After selecting this I saw the familiar settings.

Changing the template again resulted in a third (another new) template with the same name = template 1.


The import shows negative values, but doesn't import them. The first line test shows such a line with negative value and shows a green okay sign at the end. When I change the columns from + and -/- to positive and type D or C the same thing happens, only the positive amounts (received payments) are imported, not the negative (payed) amounts.

A nice to have; if it is possible can RQM remember the column widths that you set in the import definition. They now are reset to a

Re: 2.3.1 beta problems

Thank you, Pece, for your experiences with import.
If I good understood, first of all you created a new template 1 (with the same name as an existing Template 1). It doesn't matter if there are two or more templates with the same name. More important are all settings of each template. If you good set all settings, you have to obtain a green OK sign (in first line test) after saving all settings.
But if you got an error message again, I welcome it as a screenshot (via e-mail).

The import shows negative values, but doesn't import them.
If you noticed - if you add new negative transaction to the daily transactions, you add it as positive number (but to the negative category, it appears in main window in red color). The same way I used in import. If you import negative transaction, program add it to the negative category with positive sign). The result will be OK. Just test it.

only the positive amounts (received payments) are imported, not the negative (payed) amounts.
You didn't write, how you set the category/subcategory pane - what you choosed:
a) use columns
b) set it manualy or
c) each transaction to assign to (and if you checked checkbox "Include all debit/credit transactions").
If you choosed choosed c), you have to check this checkbox, if you also want to import transactions with opposite sign.

Thank to the suggestion to improve columns settings. Yes, I think, it is possible to make it soon.
