Guncash, opening in its default mode, will always open the last file you
had opened.
a) You can "tell" gnucash not to do this, but instead open "nofile" and
then you have to choose which file you want to open (there is even a
drop down list for the last several you had open). That is what those of
us who are using gnucash to keep several sets of books usually choose to
do << there is no reason for us to expect that the books we want are the
same as last open >>
b) Even when gnucash has opened the "wrong" set of books (you have two)
you can at that point tell it to open the other. See that "file" button
on the top left? That will let you open another, either from the list OR
by explicitly entering the name.

Hello, experts,
I am Treasurer of two clubs. I have used Gnucash for both, but up to now I
have had two different Macintosh computers, one for each club.
Now I have
traded my old computers for one fancy new MacBook Pro. My two sets of
accounts are currently held on a USB stick for each. But even with the
newest version of Gnucash (2.6.18-Intel) only the first set of accounts
opens, the one that was initially opened on the new computer. No matter
which account of the other set I double-click on, with Gnucash closed, the
other set of accounts is opened. How can I keep both sets of accounts
separately – and they cannot be put together, being totally different clubs
with different financial dealings – using Gnucash? Thank you,
John Nightingale,
Secretary/Treasurer,
Adam and Eve Social Club Inc
