Re: [GNC] Can't find file
Use your operating system file manager to check the folder where you normally keep your file. What has recently changed? We can give more specific suggestions if you tell us which version of GnuCash you have and your computer operating system.

3 items listed under Liabilities... Liability ALiability BLiability Ceach to a different entity but related based on certain criteria. We want to setup another Liability account "Liabilities ABC" and then move the 3 above under it as "sub-accounts" like ... Liabilities- Liabilities ABC-- Liability A-- Liability B-- Liability C That way we can see the total of the 3 or each individual total... The Question: Is there any way to do this without having to delete A, B, C, and re-creating them under Liabilities ABC ?

Hi, Yes, of course.

I’ve been using Gnucash on Catalina since at least version 3.8 (5 versions ago…). The simplest thing to try is download the current version of Gnucash (4.1) and install that. It should work, though I always have to launch new versions twice (for the first run) to get past the gatekeeper dialog even though I say, yes, open it.

Re: [GNC] Can't find file
Michael, Thank you for your message. I didn't have the problem that Dan had. I am well aware of where the .gnucash file is stored. But I use two different Gnucash files and am always switching between them. I have always used the Open... menu item, then navigated to the correct file. Until I saw your comment, I never noticed that there was a list of recently opened files that I could use. This will be a great convenience for me from now on. On that topic, if I someone asked me what one change I would like to Gnucash, my choice would be the ability to open two different files in different windows at the same time.

Re: [GNC] Can't find file
Thanks for that tip Liz. However, it doesn't work on Mac OS, Linux (and apparently Windows) easily allow running multiple copies of a program. Mac OS tries to just allow one instance. You can start two instances of a program from the terminal. But with Gnucash, as soon as I try to switch the second instance to a different file, the first instance switches to that file and the second instance quits.

Re: [GNC] Bug 797787 - Preference setting to open new tabs adjacent to currently active tab
Reading the bug report I'm not sure that there is an option, I can't find one either in any of my preferences. You thought you'd explicitly enabled it somehow ? To be honest I preferred the previous behaviour where the new tab got added last but it seems 4.1 just opens it next to my COA as I usually open tabs from the Accounts tab. I only usually have the Accounts tab and 6 others open so they fit well on a 24" monitor. Cheers David H.
