Hi How does that solve anything? If you send your .gnucash file to your accountant/taxman they won't be able to open any files because they're assumed to be in
file://C:\Users\<NAME>\Documents\business1\ and their <Name> is likely completely different (assuming they're even on Windows) and additionally and additionally they might save business1 not directly under Documents: file://C:\Users\<DIFFERENT_NAME>\Documents\Somewhere\Else\business1\ Regards TA ----- Glenn Fowler Fri Dec 23 12:39:06 EST 2022 Hi TA,You are correct, it is global.What I do is use "Linked Location" instead of "Linked File" and just enterthe path. For example:file://C:\Users\<NAME>\Documents\business1\MyReceipt.pdf ----- Dec 23, 2022, 18:17 by tuuran...@tutanota.de: > Hello > > First, the *question*: Currently it appears the "Path Head for Linked Files > Relative Paths" is a global setting applied to *all* .gnucash files.
