I wrote and continue to develop Moneydance and monitor the list every  
day, but I usually don't have time to chime in.

I'm not sure what you mean by turn off exchange rate conversion.   
When you import your data from a QIF file there is no conversion  
since the QIF format does not include any exchange rate information.   
Accounts and transactions imported from a QIF file will be assumed to  
be in the currency specified in the QIF import window.  Transfers to  
accounts of different currencies will be assumed to have the exchange  
rate between the imported account and the transfer account.  Because  
of the lack of any FX data in the QIF file, that is really the best  
we can do.

I hope you are able to do the import, but getting accurate records  
from a QIF file for accounts and transactions of different currencies  
is likely to be difficult unless you don't have any inter-currency  
transfers between accounts.

Thanks,
Sean
