I've been trying to import a csv file I just created myself. The purpose is to add a transaction for a cash tip to match every one of a particular set of transactions I exported with a custom report. A typical line in the file is:

2011-02-04,Personal: Appearance/Grooming,Hair Shop,-5.00,Tip

Clearly most of the errors I'm getting are just due to careless fingers, as they don't repeat. However, some are persistent.

When I click "import" I get a popup asking me to enter the debit flag column number. I cancel, hit import again, and it imports. I assume a debit flag would be something to tell whether the "amount" column is a debit or credit - but why not put this on the main dialog?

Even though "Hair Shop" (actually the name of the person) is already a payee, it always creates a new payee - with the identical name, as far as I can tell. Is there any way to assure it uses an existing payee?

The amount has been imported as $500.00 not $5.00. Do I explicitly need to specify the decimal symbol?

Is there any way to get the category assigned, or will that work once I get it to use the existing payee?

Thanks for any suggestions. (I know I could just leave the import as is and then edit all the transactions at once, since this is just a one time exercise, but I figured I'd prefer to understand what, if anything, I'm doing wrong.
