First, I thought I had found something when I found the function gtk_file_chooser_set_local_only, but the wretched dialog insists on trying to display the directory of the entered URI when one clicks Save. Naturally, such a directory does not exist. Entering gda://AnActualConection results in an error. That confirms we can't use the File Chooser. What's the best way to recompile gnucash after changing just one source file? When I typed make, it seemed to take forever. Then "make install" was only a partial install. Clearly, this wasn't the way to go. I'm looking at 1.8.12 code now to see how it handled the dialog.
