Using version 3.5.1 in Windows 10. Trying to migrate from Quicken to jGnash. Tried to import a small amount of data exported from Quicken in QIF format. The import should pick up the Category field and use it for the Account for each transaction. Instead, it ignores the Category in the QIF file, and uses the target Account for the import as the Account for EVERY transaction.
I even created the Account (Utilities, Gas) before the Import, in case the Import does not automatically create the Account if it does not exist.

Example of QIF data:
D1/ 3'20
U-71.47
T-71.47
CX
NEFT
PAtmos Energy
LUtilities:Gas

The import should use the "L" field as the Account for the transaction.
Preferably, it should create it if it does not already exist
