For those that like launching from the gui, one can create a simple shell
script and automator script, then in the finder, right click the .gnucash
file->services->”name of automator script” to cause a new instance of GC to
open the selected file.
Shell script, named for example - gnucash which
Thanks for your reply and your suggestion. I ended up pulling an old file from
a backup, inserting it into the folder and opening from it - glad to say it
worked and, with a little updating, I’m back in business!!
Thanks again.

John,
It never occurred to me to try opening it in the background. That works
perfectly.
Thanks,

Will,

John,
I have played around with trying to open multiple instances of gnucash from the
Terminal (Mac OS Catalina) without success in getting two instances running at
the same time. I am pretty unix-savvy, after 40 years as a geophysicist, now I
write software for a living. But so far it hasn't h
macOS does not, and one must use the command line to launch subsequent
instances of gnucash.

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,

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 sa

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.
