Simultaneous OFX download for multiple accounts
Currently GNUcash requires manual selection of the OFX download action for each account individually- even though it allows you to store the login credentials. Then the user is forced to decide what to do with the downloaded transactions immediately.
This workflow might be intuitive for personal home use (though still not convenient) where the user likely has a very small number of accounts. It is very unintuitive for businesses who might maintain a large number of accounts.
A more convenient workflow would prompt the user for how they would want to deal with unmatched transactions on download. (ex: discard, add, prompt) and allow multiple accounts to be selected for this option OR provided for this ability via python bindings.

This limitation is imposed by your financial institution, not by GnuCash. Granted, it is hard to tell because there is no column to show destination account, but I have already posted a bug report covering that problem. I use multiple accounts in one file every month from the one bank that will do it.
