In linux I name my gnucash account file whatever I want to name it, even without the .gnucash extension, then start gnucash and open that file. Thereafter it is the file that is opened when I start the program. All those .log and .LCK files are backups and lock files and need not concern you unless you need to recover something lost. There is a configuration option that allows you to set the number saved to your preference under the General section of the preferences dialog. -- Bert Riding rerid...@xmission.com _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
