Chris,
If I save reports from GnuCash 3.4 on Linux Mint Tara (Ubuntu 18.04), the
reports are saved in
/home/<user>/.local/share/gnucash/saved-reports-2.8 and I have verified this
contains the report config which I saved.
yay
This is where I expected to find them based on the description in
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations.

I am not sure what the 2.4 in your case and 2.8 in my case actually refer
to. The wiki says they are related to GnuCash versions but not obviously
the version which is running.
2.8 and 2.4 make no difference, wastrel :)
Hi David,
Geert answered this 6/6/2018:
2.8, not 2.4. If not 2.8 file is found, gnucash 3 and up will search for a
saved-reports-2.4, but it will only save to saved-reports-2.8.
this is a spit mouth reply as it doesn't say *where* the report file
will be saved.
I expected more of you, ChrisG
I haven't updated the wiki as it was recently changed to say:
saved-reports-x.y
presumably to ensure it doesn't quickly become outdated.
Personally, I would prefer if it was more specific.
I'm hoping I'll prevail or you or someone with some sense.
I am finally about to release my BackupGnuCash java app 1.3.0, now updated
for GnuCash 3.
Scary stuff, brave you.
As it is difficult to tell if a configuration file location has been
overridden by an environment variable somewhere, I've taken the tack of only
looking for configuration files to backup in the default locations.

Chris Good
May I have a look at your script?
Love, Wm
