Hi Lesley,
Save your account data file into a folder - don't work directly from the
desktop. (File menu -> Save As while GC is running is probably the best way to
do this)
GC creates its own backup files each time you save (if using the default &
recommended XML file format) and puts it in the same folder as the main data
file - hence if the data lives on the desktop, that is where GC will put the
backups.
HTH,
Maybe making this a bit clearer (as to what is going on)
The "desktop" IS a folder. But it is a special folder whose contents are
always being displayed on the main window as icons (you can ask OTHER
folders to be displayed to you as icons within their windows).
What Maf. King is telling you is to use some OTHER folder for your
gnucash file to reside in. The program will use that same folder as the
place to put the log file and backup.
Michael.
