GnuCash and QIF import/exportGnuCash and QIF import/exportPosted Dec 5, 2002 18:54 UTC (Thu) by scripter (subscriber, #2654)Parent article: Coming soon: gnucash 1.8 QIF import/export is an important, and lacking feature of GnuCash (as of version 1.6 or so -- I don't know about later versions). I tried using GnuCash during the 1.5 and 1.6 days. In the past, I used CBB to do my personal finances, but it was degrading with updates to my OS, and it ran too slowly with my data. I exported my data from CBB into a QIF file, and attempted to import it into GnuCash. It didn't work well. After I had added some new transactions, and decided that I wanted to move to something else, I found that GnuCash couldn't export the data into a QIF file. I'm used to proprietary packages holding my data hostage. In this case, GnuCash held my data hostage, and I ended up abandoning the data.

This is not the same as, for example, a doc file which is a closed and quite secret file format. Just because gnucash wouldn't export the data to your file format of choice, doesn't mean it held it hostage. Gnucash set your data free. You're the one who wanted to tie it up again.
GnuCash and QIF import/export Posted Dec 17, 2002 23:36 UTC (Tue) by whelk1 (guest, #3293) [Link] .DOC is proprietary, but not secret.
