Hi Bjarne

Firstly, that QIF extract loaded correctly here, also on KMyMoney 4.5.  So, 
there's nothing wrong with that aspect.

So far as the problem payees are concerned, I, too, have been having that 
problem for a few months and have raised a bug about it. (Bug 235967)  Whilst 
that is similar to yours, it may not be identical as it involved schedules.  
If you look in Payees view for the payee names that have been used in error, 
and check the matching setting, I found that just having it set to 'match on 
name' helped with my problem.

I was a bit puzzled by your screen-shot, in that it showed the dates with 
mixed separators.  Is that what you expect?  Here, I don't see that.

So far as csv files are concerned, I've produced a plugin for KMM, so that they 
may be imported directly.  It handles both checking accounts and investment 
accounts.  I've been using it successfully myself for a while now, and am 
doing some last-minute polishing-up before submitting it for acceptance.  What 
would help me, and perhaps you, is if you could send me suitably anonimized 
samples of the file layouts you have.  So far, I have only a few different 
sample layouts to test with.

Thanks
