David, thanks for that.
Just thought I'd report that, with 7zip installed on a Windows box, all one
needs to do is right-click on the file and take 7Zip > Extract Here (or one
of the other extraction options).
It creates an uncompressed version with the .gnucash suffix stripped off, so

Paul,
We all suffer from increased finger trouble as we get older. I don't use the
compressed data format normally. I just saved my datafile as a compressed
file and I was able to use gunzip on Linux to uncompress it after I changed
the extension to .gz and then after changing the extension back t

I find these sources of errors occurring once in a while.
Unless others are encountering similar issues I think we might ascribe this one
to approaching senility.

Yes, I think 7zip can decompress the file. Check the wiki, or maybe a Windows
user on the list can help out with doing so.
One thing to consider, how do you normally open your GnuCash data file to start
working in it?
Do you open the GnuCash app and let it open the last used file automatically,
The leaf display option would have rendered the opposite effect. You’d have
seen only the child (sub-account) names with none of the parents.
So instead of:
Expenses:Hydro:Main House
Expenses:Hydro:Retreat
Expenses:Hydro:A-frame
you’d see:
Main House
Retreat
A-frame
Since it is a small number
Thanks David,
I'm on Win 10, fully patched. I did try to look at the XML data files.
Unfortunately I had turned on compression and thus they're not human readable
unless someone knows a simple Windows decompression command line (ideally with
7zip, which is already on the box).
There are severa
imilar weirdness.

Paul,
AFAIK there were no data format changes between 3.5 and 3.7. and no
previously reported problems of this sort with this upgrade. I moved my

Hello. Rather bizarrely, one group of sub-accounts has disappeared from the
chart of accounts in one of our books. They we there when I last closed the
file in GnuCash 3.5 a few days ago, and they're gone when I first opened them
in 3.7.
