OK, will do. This is interesting. I moved the file to a Windows 7 machine, and opened it with GnuCash 2.6.21. It did read the sqlite3 file, but it took a long time, probably 20 minutes or so. After it opened, I saved it as an xml file. GnuCash does open the .xml file more quickly, so perhaps I should stick with that format. My assumption is that Windows GnuCash reads and writes to sql formats without installing those dependencies directly.
So how do I start GnuCash in Windows using the --nofile --debug options? It appears to always try to open the last opened file. I also notice the xml file is much, much smaller than the sqlite3 file. The xml is 4.6 Megs, and the sqlite3 file is 65 megs. This is a file with many years, going back to 2009, but the data all appears to be there. That's not a bad feature, if it still has all the data. And if xml it allows transaction "replays" or rollbacks, then great. I'll stick with it. I'm a fan of data in db formats, but not when the older xml format functions without errors. GnuCash 3 it is. I'll install the latest on Ubuntu and Windows and see how it does with this xml file. Is there a file parser or checker that can correct errors in an account file? I should give that a whirl and see what it finds.
