[Ethereum] Parity: accounts from Geth keystore

go-ethereumkeystoreparity

I am installing the latest version of parity (1.4.1). I created a new account and am syncing the chain. I have two UTC keystore files from a older version of geth that I stopped syncing some time ago.

In the parity web gui I click on 'new account' then 'import accounts from geth keystore' but I am told that 'there are currently no importable keys from the Geth keystore, which are not already available on your Parity instance.

These keystore files are in my .ethereum folder and I have also tried copying them and putting them in the .parity/keys directory

Has anyone else has this problem or know how I can import these accounts into parity?

It seems you just copy the keystore file into the /parity/keys directory and reload the gui browser interface and then it will pick up the accounts
