As with GnuCash, you can import Quicken data files and QIF/OFX account information
from your financial institution(s). KMyMoney will also import GnuCash files (GnuCash does
not return the favor). When you do this, however, you may be in for a small shock. Imported
transactions that haven??™t been categorized appear in blinking red text. This is a good thing if
you miss putting one or two manual entries in a category, but this is not so good for several
hundred imported entries. This particular annoyance is scheduled to disappear in the next
version.
