Mea culpa. Those other folders are my own doing then. It's another example of
"Never trust David to remember the crazy sh*t he's tried in the past." I will
assume I can delete those folders, since I'm using your .app files now.
I will note that ~/Library/Application Support/Gnucash has both
saved-reports-2.0 AND saved-report-2.4. 2.0 has my custom reports; 2.4 has only
a single new report I just saved. Replacing 2.4 with the 2.0 file, I get
duplicate guid errors for all my old reports. I also get a note about upgraded
reports. Restoring the skeletal 2.4 file confirms that the custom reports
aren't there.
