You can try to add a new account window (which is not the same as creating a new book), via menu View->New Accounts Page. If this shows your existing account data, there is another bug in 2.3.10 regarding the accounts page not showing up automatically. My response: I tried View->New Accounts Page as you suggested and yes, the existing account data shows up. I then tried a 'Save As' and found that the file dialog didn't include the new xml vs. database choice. This made me realize that I'd built 2.3.10, forgetting to pass --enable-dbi to configure. So I rebuilt it from scratch and now the issue with failing to show at least the chart of accounts is gone -- it now works correctly. So only the default configuration (without the database support) exhibits the incorrect behavior. Doing a 'Save As' sqlite3 and then restarting gnucash produces the same truncation behavior described in bug 609583, which is not surprising, since I saw nothing in the 2.3.9 or 2.3.10 release notes about this issue having been fixed (I first observed it in 2.3.8). BTW, I renamed Bug 609583 to "Database backend loses data", because after I entered the bug, I did the same test with sqlite3 and observed the same truncation behavior I saw with postgresql. So the issue described in that bug appears to be above the database-specific code. /Don _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
