As far as I can tell, there's only one .LCK file, named with the data
file that I was trying to open.
........
I have multiple GnuCash data files. When one is open, and I wish to
switch to another data file, sometimes it crashes GnuCash.
Deleting the
.LCK file resolves the problem and allows the data file to open as
normal.
There is one lock file per resource being protected against simultaneous
access << I am intentionally using generalized terminology because this
is a not a :gnucash thing but a general method and the resource isn't
even necessarily a file (though 99% of the time, it is)
If you have multiple gnucash data files (you are keeping multiple sets
of books) then EACH would have a lock file when in use. It is the
existence of the lock file that signals "in use".
