Yeah! Thanks a lot!!
I couldn't get the gzip -d file.xml.gz to do the extesion renaming, but
just used gzip -d file.gz and then renamed it after the decompression.
All text replaced and all transaction links working fine!!! Thanks a lot
to all !!! ( I even started learning about sed :) )

OK. I'll try to remember that. Feels a little lazy not returning 'em

I just opened the uncompressed version with GnuCash and it worked just fine.

The file *is* compressed.
Opening a non-compressed version of the file will get you something like this:
http://www.gnucash.org/XML/gnc";
xmlns:act="http://www.gnucash.org/XML/act";
xmlns:book="http://www.gnucash.org/XML/book";
xmlns:cd=“http://www.gnucash.org/XML/cd";
...
etc.

You should not need to manually mount any external drive like a USB key. It
will automount for you in the /media part of the file tree as you noticed.
Your issue is likely more as John noted that LO mucked up the XML. If you don’t
want to attempt sed or nano, try Gedit (all come with Ubuntu) or
The new nano 3.0 is now very fast at opening large files. (for those to
skittish to jump into vim and emacs)

Geert, what I'm hearing you say is that someone actually built a time
machine and went back in time and implemented my idea. I didn't think it
was all that great of an idea, but what you are suggesting makes a lot of
sense. 😊
Thanks, I never noticed that!

Directly editing the XML files is really scary to me. Seems like it would
be simple, but scary.
One idea for the future is to have a GNUCash configured Associated Files
directory. This would be the root of all associated files. In the
datafile, the filepath would originate from this directory.
LibreOffice is a word processor with its own XML features. It very likely
didn’t preserve GnuCash’s XML but instead substituted its own. Try again using
a plain text editor like vi, vim, emacs, etc.

Hi,
yep, I have no problem finding the files and opening them on the filing
system ( naultilus) ..
Although I have not done any mounting per se.. should I ?

Hi ,
My file doesn't seem to be compressed. I managed to open it up directly
in LibreOffice Word and do the replacement. and then save the file as a
.xml. ( over 9000 pages !)
I don't seem to be able to open this XML file in GNC.. I get the "No
suitable backend was found for /media/john/U
Perhaps someone else who’s come across this might offer some tips, but here’s
how I’d approach it:
Your data file (if using the default backend) is just an XML file that is
compressed.
Uncompress it (with tar) and use either your favorite text editor or sed
command to conduct a find&replace.
When using the associate files function for a transaction within
GNUCash on Windows, I stored all of my pdfs on an external USB/ SD
card. Windows mapped this address with a letter, G, in this case. ( I
also store my accounts on this same card now)
So my files were all stored on G:/documents/
