SUMMARY
When importing many accounts from one ofx file, it does happen frequently that I want to skip an account entirely. The obvious way to do that is to click on the "skip" button. But then I get a message "You must select an account, create a new one, or press the Abort button". Since I do have an account selected and don’t want to create a new one, I'm left with the choice to abort. Which leads to the question, What’s the purpose of the skip button if it only seems to be able to trigger that warning.

Then to start being confused, clicking on abort, actually skip only one account. I would have thought it would have cancelled the whole import. But fine, "abort" seem to mean "skip", so I'll use that.

Finally reaching the end of my import, click on the last account "OK" and I get a "Importing process terminated unexpectedly" error followed by an import summary that seems to include everything and after checking and reconciliating the imported data everything is good. So what was unexpected?


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. import an ofx file with many account
2. skip and abort at least one of them

OBSERVED RESULT
confusing button, popup and error

EXPECTED RESULT
- The skip button actually skip an account
- The abort button actually abort the import
- no error at the end
- no popup saying a button is useless
