Colleagues,
A quick hint. I originally installed the package from my distribution,
Debian. Opened GnuCash and saved the GnuCash data file into ~/GnuCash,
where I wanted it. This put the file into the ~/GnuCash directory. THEN
I installed from flatpak. Went to ~/GnuCash, and opened the GnuCash data
file from there, Ever since, even as I update via flatpak, it
automatically uses that file. Your mileage may vary.

HI,
This is a limitation of Flatpak.
If you install GnuCash natively then it will save it back to the same
directory where the file was opened from.

Yes, it's an absolite pain isn't it!?
I've muttered about this several times in the past but it doesn't seem
to trouble most people. I just wish there was a way to tell GnuCash
to put its "working" files in some user definable sub-directory
instead of in the directory that **I'm** working in.
