Installation NT8 imports obsolete, duplicate accounts

[RonSpike]

When I installed the latest BETA-10 over the weekend the "import data from NT7" resulted in importing perhaps 15 to 20 old and obsolete accounts (several "DoNotUse", some former demo-accounts) which all do not show up anymore in my NT7-installation.

At the end I found THREE entries for my current provider/live-account-combo, all with the same account-number. Those three entries ALL showed up for instance as filterable items in the performance analysis. I found out that only ONE account-entry would be active after connecting to my provider (which is correct).

So I removed all obsolete and unneeded accounts, one-by-one, including those duplicate to my active account.

After that I still could connect to my provider, but NT8 "knew" only from "SIM-101" from there on - my real live-account was not listed anymore in the performance analysis as an item to chose, showing only SIM-101 to check. Even after logging off and on no live-account was listed anymore - while the accounts tab still did list my live-account as existing.

I suggest that someone should have a closer look to this import routine - strange to find so many obsolete accounts after the import, bad to loose info about three (identical) entries when deleting only two of them.
