Hi David, Been playing around with that exact same setting for a while now but it doesn't seem to work on my Big Sur / Gnucash 4.4 system.
My setup is slightly different in that I installed Gnucash in /Applications/GnuCash as opposed to /Applications itself, so I've been tinkering with defaults write -app GnuCash/Gnucash "/org/gnucash/history/maxfiles" 5 but no luck so far....
