Can't this be obtained from the KDE Locale settings, so it doesn't need
any user input? Or an option to save it as a default? I find it awkward
to have to select it each time I do an import.

It could, Doug, but the snag with that is that some users use more than
one currency, which tends to mean that decimal delimiters may be different.
Even worse: living in Germany we are used to use the comma as decimal
separator. Depending on which software vendor and application you get a hold
on, their German version spits out data with a comma as separator or a
decimal. So you can't really rely on the locale setting which might be wrong
in one or the other case. I agree, that you don't see this happening in a
locale using the dot as decimal separator.
However, the next version, soon to be available via git HEAD, will allow
the user to set a profile for each different format he/she uses. So
that should take care of your requirement.
The QIF importer has some magic to detect which separators are used. Maybe you
can take a look at it to see if you can use it. It requires to read the file
twice though, but that shouldn't be a problem.
I'll certainly do that anyway, but I'm hoping that being able to have
different profiles will suffice.
Re-reading is already done several times anyway, but the files are
small, so far.
