CSV importer oddness

[aga]

Hi Łukasz

I mentioned some while back that personal circumstances limit my time,
unfortunately.  However, I will see if I can have a look.

I'm not clear here.  The data I'm importing comes from my bank.  The
name of the account into which I wish to import comes out of my head.
How do you match them?  The file is being imported into a temporary
liability account which has no connection with the bank involved.  The
file does not know into which account I want to import it.

How?

successful import.

But the import wasn't successful so I wish to go back to see if I made a
mistake with parameters.

That used to be the way it worked, but now, it's gone.  It would have
closed when the user clicked Finish or Cancel.
